UGREEN 55545 Bluetooth 6.0 LDAC AUX/RCA Receiver, 15H

Overview

The UGREEN 55545 adds Bluetooth music streaming to a home stereo, powered speakers or car audio with a 3.5 mm aux or stereo RCA input. It is a receiver only, with Bluetooth 6.0 and the LDAC codec at up to 24-bit/96 kHz from a compatible source, AAC and SBC for other phones, and a battery for up to 15 hours that can also be used while charging.

Is it right for you?

• Suits an amplifier, stereo, powered speaker or car stereo with a 3.5 mm or RCA line-level input and its own amplifier.
• Suits Android phones with LDAC for the highest quality; other phones connect with AAC or SBC.
• Receiver only: it does not send sound to Bluetooth headphones, has no optical or coaxial connection and no aptX.
• No microphone, so no hands-free calls.

Key features

What else you need

A 3.5 mm or RCA line-level input on the amplifier or speaker and a Bluetooth phone or tablet. A 1 m USB-C charging cable and a 1 m 3.5 mm audio cable come in the box; the RCA cable and charger do not.

Connect the 3.5 mm cable or your own RCA cable to the input, charge over USB-C, select that input on the amplifier and pair the phone.
