Tascam RX-BT10MK2

The Tascam RX-BT10MKII is a professional 2-channel Bluetooth audio receiver that allows you to wirelessly play music and other audio signals through an existing sound system. The receiver is designed for use in stores, restaurants, hotels, conference rooms, schools, theaters, and other professional AV installations. Thanks to Bluetooth 5.1 Class 1, balanced XLR outputs, and unbalanced RCA outputs, the RX-BT10MKII can be connected to mixing consoles, amplifiers, active speakers, and other audio equipment.

The compact metal housing, detachable Bluetooth antenna, and external control options make the RX-BT10MKII suitable for both fixed installations and mobile applications. The MKII also stands out from its predecessor with dedicated software for customizing the Bluetooth device name. This makes it easy to identify and manage multiple receivers within a single building.

Professional Bluetooth Audio for Existing Sound Systems
With the Tascam RX-BT10MKII, you can add Bluetooth functionality to an existing audio system without needing a new mixing console or another amplifier. Connect a smartphone, tablet, or other Bluetooth device to the receiver and send the audio signal to the connected equipment via the analog outputs. This makes it possible to play music during presentations, provide background music in hospitality venues, or deliver wireless audio at events. The receiver can also be used in classrooms and conference rooms where multiple users want to play audio from their own devices.

Bluetooth 5.1 Class 1 with a range of up to 100 meters
The RX-BT10MKII uses Bluetooth 5.1 with Class1 technology. Under ideal conditions, a wireless range of up to approximately 100 meters is possible, provided the transmitting device also supports this range. The detachable Bluetooth antenna is located on the front of the receiver. This allows the antenna to be positioned in a location with optimal reception. The actual range depends on the smartphone or tablet being used, obstacles, the environment, and any interference from other wireless devices. The receiver supports the Bluetooth profiles A2DP and AVRCP, as well as the audio codecs SBC and AAC. This makes the RX-BT10MKII suitable for playing audio from a wide variety of Bluetooth devices.

Customizable Bluetooth device name with dedicated editor software
A key feature of the Tascam RX-BT10MKII is the ability to customize the Bluetooth device name using the dedicated editor software. In professional installations, multiple Bluetooth receivers are often used. Think, for example, of a hotel with several meeting rooms or a restaurant with separate audio zones. With the editor software, each receiver can be given a recognizable name, such as “Conference Room 1,” “Restaurant,” or “Presentation Room.” This makes it easier for users to select the correct device on their smartphone or tablet. This is an improvement over the original RX-BT10, where a changed device name was only visible locally on the device used to modify the name.

Balanced XLR and Unbalanced RCA Outputs
The Tascam RX-BT10MKII features two balanced XLR outputs and two unbalanced RCA outputs. The XLR outputs are suitable for connection to professional mixing consoles, active PA speakers, and other equipment with balanced line inputs. This connection method helps minimize interference when using longer audio cables. The RCA outputs allow connection to amplifiers, mixers, and other equipment with unbalanced line inputs. Thanks to these connection options, the RX-BT10MKII can be integrated into both professional and existing consumer audio systems.

Switchable between stereo and mono
On the back of the RX-BT10MKII is a switch that allows the output signal to be set to stereo or mono. In stereo mode, the left and right channels remain available separately. This is suitable for music playback where the stereo image must be preserved. In mono mode, both audio channels are combined. This setting is useful for public address systems, restaurants, stores, and other spaces where audio is played through a mono sound system. The output level can be adjusted using the front-panel volume control. This allows the signal to be tailored to the connected mixing console or amplifier.

External Bluetooth Antenna for Optimal Placement
The RX-BT10MKII features a detachable Bluetooth antenna that can be placed in a different location using a suitable extension cable. This is particularly useful when the receiver is installed in an enclosed equipment room, under a counter, or in a metal AV rack. Placing the antenna outside the enclosure or in a more favorable location can improve Bluetooth reception. The antenna can be placed up to 20 meters away from the receiver using a suitable extension cable. Such an extension cable is sold separately.

Remote Pairing via Euroblock
In addition to the pairing button on the front panel, the Tascam RX-BT10MKII features a Euroblock connector for an external pairing button. This allows a separate push-button switch to be installed in an accessible location, such as in a wall panel, on a counter, or next to a control console. The receiver itself can therefore be placed out of sight, while users can still easily establish a Bluetooth connection. This feature is useful for hotels, conference rooms, and fixed AV installations where the equipment is housed in a locked rack or technical room.

Manage Multiple Bluetooth Devices
The RX-BT10MKII can store pairing information for up to eight Bluetooth devices. This means that devices that have been paired previously do not need to be re-registered every time a connection is made. In addition, up to three Bluetooth devices can be connected simultaneously. This makes it easier to switch between different users or audio sources. This feature is particularly useful, for example, in meeting rooms and presentation venues where multiple people want to use their smartphones, tablets, or laptops.

Compact metal housing with mounting options
The Tascam RX-BT10MKII features a compact metal housing. As a result, the receiver takes up very little space and can be integrated into existing AV systems. Mounting points are provided on the top and bottom. Using the included mounting brackets, the unit can be mounted under a desk, against a wall, or on a suitable shelf. For professional rack installations, the optional Tascam AK-RS1 rack shelf is available. This allows two RX-BT10MKII receivers to be placed side by side in a 19-inch, 1U rack. These mounting options make the receiver suitable for permanent installations as well as for mobile applications where the unit is moved frequently.

Suitable for Professional AV Installations and Events
The Tascam RX-BT10MKII is designed for situations where Bluetooth audio needs to be integrated with existing professional audio equipment. In hospitality venues, the receiver can be used to play background music from a smartphone or tablet. At conferences and presentations, users can wirelessly transmit audio to the on-site sound system. The RX-BT10MKII also offers a solution for receiving Bluetooth audio in hotels, educational institutions, sports facilities, and event venues. Thanks to the combination of XLR and RCA outputs, external pairing capabilities, and a customizable device name, the receiver can be tailored to the requirements of various installations.
