Since its release, the i-PHONO mini has gone on to win the Bluetooth SIG Best of CES Contest 2006 in two categories ("Stereo Audio" and "Overall Bluetooth SIG Best of CES"). Though in my review I only tested the headphone, I mentioned that Bluetake also plans to release the i-PHONO mini in a combo pack, which includes an iPod optimized stereo transmitter. That transmitter, the BT450Tx, will be the subject of this review.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/Bluetake_BT450Tx/01.jpg"><img src="atruereview/Bluetake_BT450Tx/01th.jpg" alt="AiZen FlyBy Bluetooth Headset" title="AiZen FlyBy Bluetooth Headset" width="224" height="250" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p><strong>Packaging:</strong></p> <p align="left"> The Bluetake BT450Tx Bluetooth Stereo Transmitter is available as a combo pack that includes the transmitter and i-PHONO mini headphones or as a solo pack (if you already have the headphones). For this review I will be looking at the latter option in which the transmitter comes packaged in a snap shut blister package. The front of the package displays an icon list of the BT450Tx’s features, as well as all the devices that it can be used with. The back of the package lists the transmitter’s specifications in English along with six other languages.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/Bluetake_BT450Tx/02.jpg"><img src="atruereview/Bluetake_BT450Tx/02th.jpg" alt="AiZen FlyBy Bluetooth Headset" title="AiZen FlyBy Bluetooth Headset" width="250" height="261" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p align="left"><strong>Contents:</strong></p> <ul> <li> BT450Tx transmitter</li> <li> Universal stereo plug adapter</li> <li>Quick Setup Guide </li> </ul> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/Bluetake_BT450Tx/03.jpg"><img src="atruereview/Bluetake_BT450Tx/03th.jpg" alt="AiZen FlyBy Bluetooth Headset" title="AiZen FlyBy Bluetooth Headset" width="250" height="229" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p><strong>Features:</strong></p> <p>Features and specifications for the Bluetake BT450Tx Bluetooth Stereo Transmitter can be found on Bluetake's <a href="http://www.bluetake.com/products/BT450Tx.htm">web site</a>. </p> <ul> <li> Stereo Wireless Transmission</li> <li> Wireless Remove Control for iPod (with topside remote port)</li> <li> Plug & Play Effortless Installation</li> <li> Adapter for Diverse Player</li> </ul> <p><strong>Specification:</strong></p> <ul> <li> Dimensions: 55x36.5x16 mm (2.17x1.44x0.60 in) (stereo plug excluded)</li> <li> Weight: 26g (0.92oz)</li> <li> Compatibility: iPod with topside remote port, any music player or audio source with 3.5 mm stereo-out jack (with adapter)</li> <li> Operating Time: approx. 6 hours</li> <li> Sound <ul> <li>Frequency Response: 20Hz-20KHz</li> <li>Sample Rate: 48HHz, 16Bit</li> <li>Input Impedance: 500KΩ</li> <li>Line-Level Input: 1V @ 0dB</li> </ul> </li> <li>Bluetooth <ul> <li>Specification: v1.2 compliant</li> <li>Profile Supported: A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile), AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile)</li> <li>Connection: Point-to-Point</li> <li>Audio Codec: SBC</li> </ul> </li> <li>Radio <ul> <li>Carrier Frequency: 2.4-2.483 GHz</li> <li>Spread Spectrum: FHSS</li> <li>Modulation Method: GFSK</li> <li>Radio Coverage: Class 2, up to 3-10 m (9-30 ft) in open field</li> <li>Antenna: Ceramic</li> <li>Sensivity: <0.1% BER @ -80 dBm</li> <li>RF Output Power: -6 to 4 dBm</li> </ul> </li> <li>Power <ul> <li>Consumption: 190mW</li> <li>Input: 5v/200mA</li> <li>Built-in Battery: 3.7V/300mAh Li-Polymer</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p align="right"><a href="atruereview/Bluetake_BT450Tx/Bluetake_BT450Tx.php"></a> <a href="Bluetake_BT450Tx/Bluetake_BT450Tx.php">Next (Description and Compatability)</a></p> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <div id="footer" class="clr"> <div class="rk-1"> <div class="rk-2"> <div id="the-footer"> <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
