Our take on the Paradigm BD1

by Dave Bar

Use this compact adapter with your Paradigm A2 powered speakers, or any sound system with a minijack input, for convenient wireless audio playback with Bluetooth-enabled devices. Listen to music from your laptop or tablet computer on your home audio system while you surf the web, or enjoy your favorite MP3 tunes from your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone. You won't need to physically connect either device to your speakers, thanks to the BD1's 33-foot wireless range. The BD1 can be powered up by plugging the included AC adapter into the A2 speaker's back-panel convenience outlet for a clean, hideaway setup. A built-in rechargeable battery even allows it to operate if there's no AC outlet handy.

    Features

    Overview: The Paradigm Shift BD1 is a universal Bluetooth Receiver (v2.1) which allows you to wirelessly stream music from your Bluetooth-enabled device to the A2 powered speaker (819A2BKASH, sold separately) or any other home audio system which features a minijack (3.5mm) input. The Paradigm Shift BD1 Bluetooth Receiver lets you stream music from any Bluetooth-enabled device supporting A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) or AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile). This includes the iPhone, Android, and Blackberry smartphones; as well as other Bluetooth enabled devices such as your computer, laptop, or tablet.

    Note: Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may not support all features when used with the Paradigm Shift BD1.

    3.5mm Connector: The BD1 Bluetooth Receiver connects to the Paradigm Shift A2 powered speakers rear-panel 3.5mm input. It can also be connected to a 3.5mm audio input on any home audio component.

    Rechargeable Battery: The Paradigm Shift BD1 Bluetooth Receiver features an integrated Lithium-Polymer rechargeable battery (250mAH). The built-in battery has a battery life of up to 12 hours (operating time) or 230 hours (standby time).

    Battery Charger: The BD1's integrated Lithium-Polymer battery can be recharged using the included AC power adapter. This AC power adapter can be plugged directly into the Paradigm Shift A2's auxiliary AC input, or into an AC wall outlet when connected to a home audio component other than the A2 powered speaker. A 48" USB charging cable is also included, which allows  you to charge the built-in battery from a free USB (type-A) port on your computer or laptop.
