Klark Teknik DW 20BR Air Link Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Receiver

Klark Teknik DW 20BR Air Link Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Receiver

The Klark Teknik DW 20BR Air Link Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Receiver connects any Bluetooth-enabled device to a professional audio system via balanced XLR or unbalanced ¼" TRS outputs, delivering full-range stereo audio up to 100 feet (30 m). Supporting both SBC and aptX codecs over Bluetooth 4.2, the DW 20BR brings wireless streaming capability to installations where audio quality cannot be compromised.

Designed for integrators and AV professionals specifying a Bluetooth receiver with XLR output for installed audio environments, the DW 20BR performs reliably across hospitality venues, retail spaces, event facilities, and boardrooms. Its high headroom design and greater-than-90 dB signal-to-noise ratio ensure the wireless source chain introduces no audible degradation — making it a trusted solution for permanent distributed audio installations where the best Bluetooth receiver for hospitality audio systems is required.

The DW 20BR's aluminium extrusion chassis with protective rubber corner bumpers withstands the demands of fixed commercial deployment. Included floor and wall mount brackets simplify permanent installation, while the external articulating antenna optimizes reception regardless of mounting orientation. The balanced XLR output integrates directly into industry-standard signal chains, and the 20 Hz–20 kHz frequency response with 0.1% THD+N ensures transparency across the full audible spectrum.

Key Features of the Klark Teknik Air Link Bluetooth Receiver

• Balanced XLR and ¼" TRS Outputs: Connects directly to professional mixers, amplifiers, and installed audio systems using industry-standard connectors, eliminating adapters and signal loss.
• 100-Foot Wireless Range: Class 2 Bluetooth transmission across the 2402–2480 MHz band reaches up to 30 m, covering most commercial rooms and event spaces without signal dropouts.
• aptX and SBC Codec Support: aptX codec delivers near-CD-quality audio over Bluetooth 4.2, preserving dynamic range and stereo imaging for demanding listening environments.
• High Headroom Design: 4 dBu maximum output level and greater-than-90 dB SNR ensure the DW 20BR contributes no audible noise floor to the signal chain in professional applications.
• External Articulating Antenna: Repositionable antenna optimizes Bluetooth reception relative to the transmitting device, reducing dead zones in fixed-mount installations.
• Included Mounting Hardware: Floor and wall mount brackets ship in the box, enabling permanent installation in retail, hospitality, and commercial AV environments without sourcing additional hardware.
• Rugged Aluminium Chassis: Extruded aluminium enclosure with protective rubber corner bumpers handles the rigors of permanent installation and equipment rack adjacency.
