The MB25 is built to adapt to a wide range of setups. It offers multiple input and output options, including balanced and unbalanced analog connections as well as coaxial and optical digital connections. This flexibility ensures compatibility with various configurations, whether you’re connecting directly to an outboard DAC or integrating the MB25 into a complex audio ecosystem.
High-Fidelity Audio with Bluetooth 5.0
Powered by Bluetooth 5.0, the MB25 supports advanced codecs like Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) and Qualcomm® aptX™ HD for pristine audio quality. It also features a high-performance 32-bit DAC for receiver mode and a premium ADC for transmitter mode, maintaining the exceptional sound clarity and signal accuracy demanded by audiophiles.
Dual-Mode Functionality: Receive or Transmit
Whether you need a Bluetooth receiver or transmitter, the MB25 has you covered. A simple switch on the back panel allows you to select the desired mode. In Receiver mode, stream music from your Bluetooth devices to your audio system. In Transmitter mode, send music from physical sources like vinyl records or CDs to Bluetooth headphones or speakers, all with effortless precision.
Multi-System Wireless Integration
The MB25 offers a practical solution for multi-room setups. By connecting an MB25 to each system, you can enable wireless audio distribution throughout your home. For those with an MB20, the two devices can work together to create a seamless multi-room, multi-system audio experience.
Elegant Design and Universal Compatibility
Encased in a sleek aluminum chassis with a black glass front panel featuring an illuminated logo, the MB25 combines style with functionality.
