Wireless adapter for speakers
This electrical device, called a 'wireless adapter for speakers', is compact (52 × 52 × 13 mm, 26 g) and incorporates a rechargeable battery, a digital-to-analog converter, a Bluetooth A2DP module, a USB charging port, and a 3.5 mm audio output for connection to an external audio system. It enables wireless reception via Bluetooth of digital audio signals from smartphones or other portable devices, converts them into an analog signal, and transmits them to non-integrated speakers, with a pause/play function. Generally classified under Chapter 85 as an audio transmission or reception device, it is subject to electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, CE marking, RoHS, and REACH requirements for its components.
