- Bluetooth Audio Transmitter Receiver with USB Playback - August MR285
Description
The MR285 Bluetooth Audio Adapter easily connects Bluetooth to older sound systems or TVs. For music, set it to “Rx” mode to receive audio from your phone and play through your classic stereo via AUX or RCA cables. When watching TV with Bluetooth headphones, switch to “Tx” mode to transmit audio directly, making it perfect for private listening.
The multipoint function lets you connect multiple devices, like two headphones or speakers, for shared audio. Use the bypass mode to convert optical to AUX for higher-quality audio. Compact, portable, and with 12-hour battery life, the MR285 also offers USB playback so you can enjoy music wirelessly from a USB stick anywhere you go.
Add Bluetooth to Any Device
The MR285 is a comprehensive and highly versatile audio adapter and converter. With 4 cable connections the MR285 boasts inputs for AUX, RCA, coaxial and optical audio cables with AUX and RCA output.
Any of these cables can be sent or received via the Bluetooth 5.3 transmitter or receiver modes giving you complete freedom to connect your TV wirelessly to Bluetooth headphones, or have your phone apps play on your old wired sound systems!
The MR285 also supports NFC on-touch connect, so you can pair and reconnect NFC phones to access your music on wireless devices in moments.
Every Mode Made Clear and Easy
Built for everyday use, the MR285 is designed to clearly communicate the current connection and status. The full-colour screen allows easy identification of connection type, while the status LEDs on the front of the device provide specifics on which audio cables to connect.
USB Playback Wirelessly
For the first time, connect a USB stick with your own music directly into the Bluetooth adapter to play wirelessly without needing a cabled audio input! Use the MR285 truly wirelessly with the USB stick and Bluetooth transmission to speakers or headphones.
Bluetooth Adaptor for Car, Home or Anywhere
At under 110 grams and only 10cm long, the MR285 is incredibly portable. It can sit in a car, on a windowsill, on a TV cabinet or be carried in your pocket! The 12 hour battery life enables constant use while travelling or away from power. Recharge in 3 hours using the USB-C cable.
Dual Mode Flexibility (Rx & Tx)
The August MR285 effortlessly transforms any non-Bluetooth device into a Bluetooth receiver or transmitter. Switch to “Rx” mode to stream music from your phone to older sound systems via AUX or RCA. For TVs or other sources, use “Tx” mode to transmit audio directly to Bluetooth headphones or speakers, enjoying wireless sound wherever you need it. Ideal for breathing new life into older audio gear!

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can I not connect my devices to the MR285?
If you are unable to achieve the configuration you need, please switch the “Rx” / “Tx” switch on the side of the adapter, and then cycle connections until the correct status LEDs are lit showing your cable connections.
Coaxial and Optical cables are for audio input only.
Why has the audio quality dropped?
The MR285 includes a microphone for taking calls over Bluetooth from appropriate devices. Audio quality will be lessened when the mic is engaged as the adapter must transmit and receive along the same connection. This occurs in any Bluetooth-enabled two-way communication device but can sometimes be more or less noticeable.
How is this different from MR280?
The key differences are that the AugustMR285 has an internal rechargeable battery for wireless use, and that the MR285 can support USB playback. The MR285 also features a wider range of combinations as it features coaxial as an audio input option. The MR280, however, has optical audio input and output, while the MR285 only has optical input.
