Fitted with Bluetooth 5.1 as well as wi-fi, Stream Connect easily links to a phone, laptop or computer and lets you stream your choice of music service, podcasts and any stored audio files via the streamer. With aptX compatibility, you get improved clarity and depth of sound.
Internet Radio
With thousands of Internet Radio stations available, from around the world, it’s easy to tune into just what you’re looking for. Internet Radio doesn’t just replace existing UK-based radio, it greatly expands your choice and is searchable via music genre. Presets accessed via the remote control make it easy to recall your favourite stations.
DAB+, DAB and FM
For the broadest range of radio options, Stream Connect also offers DAB+, DAB and FM. DAB+ is the most advanced digital radio in the UK and offers improved sound quality. Both DAB systems give you a wider choice of stations than analogue radio, including popular stations such as Radio 6 Music and 4 Extra. For top quality analogue radio, FM is also built-in.
Output to hi-fi, AV or active speakers
Fitted with both analogue and digital outputs, Stream Connect easily links to a wide range of hi-fi, AV and active speakers. Connect to your hi-fi system or active speakers’ AUX input via traditional RCA interconnects, or use the optical digital output to link to an AV receiver or digital hi-fi system.
Full colour display
