A-BUS Partners Introduce Bluetooth Technology

Sydney, NSW, AUSTRALIA, Wednesday, 25 September 2013 — LeisureTech announces the introduction of Bluetooth technology to A-BUS multi-room audio.   

Four A-BUS partners, Channel Vision, Eaton, Forté, and Russound, have introduced Bluetooth LIM (Local Input Module) to their product ranges. Bluetooth is a natural partner for A-BUS.

The amplifiers are located in each room unit, either as a keypad or incorporated in the speakers, instead of being centrally located as in traditional MRA systems. This unique feature allows A-BUS to provide a local source input in each room.

Now, with the high mobility of music libraries typically streaming from or stored on smartphones or tablets, an A-BUS LIM allows homeowners and their families to play their music content wirelessly in the room or area of their choice.

Andrew Goldfinch, inventor of A-BUS CAT5 technology, states, “The new Bluetooth LIM demonstrates how well the A-BUS format fits with new technologies. Music is now mobile; it is in everyone’s pocket. A local input is likely to become just as important as multi-source capability around the home. We also have a product that continues to demonstrate the elegant simplicity of A-BUS. The Bluetooth receiver receives its power from the CAT5 cable, eliminating the need to access power locally and the mess that ancillary products often produce. The LIM is simply spliced into the CAT5 line between the hub and the room unit. To operate is just as simple. When paired, the Bluetooth LIM automatically overrides the audio source from the central hub.”
