Bluetooth® audio module, BT505A, developed

We are pleased to announce the development and commencement of marketing of a Bluetooth® audio module, model BT505A.

It is a recent market trend that more and more mobile phones and portable digital audio players are loaded with Bluetooth®'s A2DP (advanced audio distribution profile) for wireless transmission capability of music. To meet this trend, audio equipment manufacturers focus their attention on wireless transmission of music as a new music source. Previously, not many models of audio equipment featured the Bluetooth® audio reception function, leaving end users thirsty for equipment designed for it.

The BT505A module developed at this time for audio equipment is a result of our accurate understanding of market requirements and responds to such end users' requests.

This product is a wireless module for a built-in application capable of near distance wireless transmission of a stereo audio signal from a mobile phone via Bluetooth® technology. If built in speakers or stereo equipment, an audio signal coming from mobile phones can be received and reproduced.

Note) Bluetooth® is a trade name of Bluetooth SIG, Inc. SMK uses it under license from Bluetooth SIG, Inc.
