Kali Audio MV-BT Bluetooth Monitor Control

collapse expand iconDescription

Turn any professional speaker into a Bluetooth speaker with the Kali Audio MV-BT Bluetooth monitor control. Balanced outputs let you connect to studio monitors, PA speakers, consoles, mixers and controllers. Use it a selectable input on a mixer or controller, or connect directly to your speakers for a full-time connection. Using the aptX codec, the MV-BT is capable of receiving CD-quality audio over Bluetooth.

It provides an elegant solution for sound professionals looking to integrate Bluetooth-capable devices into their systems. Users can pair any Bluetooth-capable playback device, including smartphones and laptops, with the MV-BT, and connect directly to their speakers, to a mixer, or to an interface.

The MV-BT has independent volume control, eliminating the need to control volume from a playback device. This puts a big, easy-to-use volume controller at users’ fingertips, and ensures that any Bluetooth-capable playback device can send audio at the highest possible resolution. An LED array alongside the volume wheel indicates the volume level.

The MV-BT has balanced XLR and TRS outputs to suit users’ preferences. In addition to Bluetooth input, there is a 3.5 mm input on the side of the unit to provide physical connection to older devices. The MV-BT uses independent volume control, so users don’t need to control volume from their playback device. Additionally, this means that the device can play at full resolution, while still giving users the opportunity to fine-tune the output volume according to their needs. 

It is an excellent tool for professional DJs and AV providers. Imagine that a guest at a wedding may request a certain song that is only on their phone. They will expect this to be an easy, seamless process. With the MV-BT, it is. Its attractive look and feel blends with any studio aesthetic.

    This works for the most part. There is a prevalent hiss any time Bluetooth is streamed - any source I tried produced the same result. Kali support never responded. Also wish there were a standby mode without the constant light. This sits in my closet most of the time.

  • Does a great job, balanced outputs too!

    I was after a decent BT receiver unit for my balanced hifi and knew Kali made this thang. I own IN5's so known Kali deliver... Set up correctly it sounds great, no noise issues as reported by the other reviewer. If you turn the volume way down, then have to turn the amp or mixer up to compensate, then you will get hiss. Does one job very well.

  • Excellent...works as it is supposed to

    If you follow the setup instructions the unit works perfectly. Just watch the video on the GC website for this product for setting up properly.

  • Strong Hiss

    It has a strong hiss almost a white noise like sound during bluetooth playback. It works as it should, but the quality of the audio is not good. Don't use this to make critical decisions. Wired connection is fine but that's not why I bought the unit. I would not recommend this.
