Tascam RX-BT10MKII – Compact Stereo Bluetooth Receiver

What is the Tascam RX-BT10MKII?

The Tascam RX-BT10MKII is a commercial Bluetooth audio receiver built to bring wireless audio input into professional sound systems. It functions as a Bluetooth audio receiver for commercial installation, converting a Bluetooth signal from a phone, tablet, or laptop into a balanced or unbalanced line-level output that feeds a mixer, amplifier, or zone audio distribution system. Integrators use it as a wireless audio input for mixers and amplifiers in spaces that need background music, ambient paging, or a simple wireless hookup for presenters without running a permanent cable. Its compact metal chassis and available rack-mount accessory make it a practical fit for equipment racks, AV closets, and under-counter installs in commercial and institutional buildings.

How does the Tascam RX-BT10MKII work?

The RX-BT10MKII pairs over Bluetooth 5.1 (Class 1) with a rated transmission range of roughly 100 meters in unobstructed line of sight, which is enough headroom for most commercial rooms and many multi-room layouts. Once paired, it decodes the incoming SBC or AAC Bluetooth stream and outputs it as analog audio on both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA connectors, so it can feed a wide range of mixers, DSPs, and amplifier inputs already installed in a facility. The output stage is switchable between mono and stereo, which matters for background music distribution Bluetooth receiver applications where a single mono feed needs to sum into a paging or zone amplifier rather than a stereo pair. An extendable antenna improves reception when the unit is mounted inside a rack or behind equipment, and a physical pairing button (with a remote pairing option via an included Euroblock terminal) lets installers place the receiver out of sight while keeping pairing control accessible at a wall plate or panel. For multi-unit deployments, Tascam ships Bluetooth Name Editor software so each RX-BT10MKII can be given a custom, identifiable Bluetooth name. That is a real time-saver on projects with several receivers in adjacent rooms, since end users otherwise see a list of generic device names when they try to pair. Physically, the RX-BT10MKII is small enough to sit on a shelf, mount under a desk or credenza using the included bracket kit, or drop into a 1U rack space using Tascam's optional AK-RS1 rack shelf, which covers most of the mounting scenarios a systems integrator runs into on a conference room, huddle room, or multi-purpose room job. It runs on an included AC adapter rated for 100-240V input, so it is compatible with international power without a separate step-down transformer. In practice, the most common deployment is a background music or paging source: a facility manager or presenter connects a phone or laptop over Bluetooth, and the RX-BT10MKII hands that audio to the existing amplifier or zone audio distribution system as if it were any other wired line-level source, without requiring a new analog input to be run from the source device to the rack.

What are the key features of the Tascam RX-BT10MKII?

• Bluetooth 5.1 Class 1 connectivity — Delivers roughly 100-meter range in open conditions, giving reliable reception even when the unit is mounted inside a rack or AV closet.
• Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs — Connects directly to professional mixers, DSPs, and amplifiers without an external converter or DI box.
• Switchable mono/stereo output — Lets the receiver sum to mono for single-channel paging and background music amplifiers or pass stereo for two-channel systems.
• Extendable Bluetooth antenna — Improves pairing reliability when the receiver is installed behind equipment or inside an enclosed rack.
• Remote pairing via Euroblock terminal — Allows a wall-mounted or panel-mounted pairing button so end users never need to access the rack.
• Bluetooth Name Editor software — Assigns a custom device name to each unit, simplifying pairing on projects with multiple receivers in adjacent spaces.
• Rugged metal enclosure — Commercial-grade construction suited to fixed installation in racks, closets, and under-furniture mounts.
• Flexible mounting options — Ships with a bracket kit for shelf or under-desk mounting, with Tascam's AK-RS1 1U rack shelf available separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

What audio equipment can the Tascam RX-BT10MKII connect to?
The RX-BT10MKII outputs balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA line-level audio, so it connects directly to most commercial mixers, DSPs, zone amplifiers, and paging systems without an external converter. Browse the full line of Tascam audio products at Creation Networks to match it with compatible amplifiers and mixers for a complete system.

Does the RX-BT10MKII require any special installation?
No specialized tools are required. It can sit on a shelf, mount under a desk or credenza with the included bracket kit, or install in a 1U rack space using Tascam’s optional AK-RS1 rack shelf. Wiring the XLR or RCA outputs to an existing mixer or amplifier input is standard line-level cabling.

Can multiple RX-BT10MKII units be installed in the same building without pairing conflicts?
Yes. Tascam’s Bluetooth Name Editor software lets each unit be assigned a unique, identifiable Bluetooth name, which prevents confusion when end users see multiple receivers listed on their phone or laptop in adjacent rooms.

What is the effective Bluetooth range of the RX-BT10MKII?
Tascam rates the RX-BT10MKII at approximately 100 meters in unobstructed, line-of-sight conditions using its Class 1 Bluetooth 5.1 radio. Real-world range in a commercial building will be shorter depending on walls, rack enclosures, and RF interference, so integrators should plan source device placement accordingly.

Does the RX-BT10MKII support both mono and stereo output?
Yes. The output stage is switchable between mono and stereo, which allows it to feed either a stereo program input or a single-channel paging or background music amplifier.

What is the warranty on the Tascam RX-BT10MKII?
Tascam covers the RX-BT10MKII under its standard manufacturer warranty for professional audio products. Contact Creation Networks for current warranty terms and registration details specific to your purchase.

Can Creation Networks help integrate the RX-BT10MKII into a larger AV system?
Yes. Creation Networks provides AV system design, installation, and support services in addition to equipment sales, so the RX-BT10MKII can be specified and installed as part of a complete background music, paging, or zone audio distribution system rather than as a standalone purchase.

Does the RX-BT10MKII work with international power without additional equipment?
Yes. The included AC adapter accepts 100-240V at 50/60 Hz, so the unit operates on standard power in the United States and most other markets without a separate transformer.
