CT Receiver Features and Benefits

Separates Performance

The CT Receivers are born into the heritage of twenty years experience designing and building high current low distortion high-end separates. Every design, concept, and tested part, unifies the vision that critical listen- ing happens when the music matters. It doesn't matter where you are or what room you are in. With a B&K Multi-Zone receiver, any room gets the solid deep bass, the warmth, and the transparency of B&K . Extraordinary preamplifier build quality using 1% Metal Film resistors and computer grade electrolytic capaci- tors lend the CT Reciever preamplifier section precision, linearity and dynamics that will reveal every detail your source components can provide. The ultimate reason to own B&K is the astonishing revolution in per- formance you'll enjoy. Available in 17” (standard) and 19” (rack mount) black or silver faceplates.

Built-In Intelligence

The CT Receivers work quietly behind the scenes to provide simple automation and flexibility for everyday liv- ing. Using unique Personal Action MacrosTM and B&K's SmartZoneTM system, the CT Receiver instantly recalls your favorite settings without any additional external automation systems. The intelligence is built in.

A Single Keypad in Each Room - Multi-Zone From One Central System

The CT310/300 provides three independent listening Zones, the CT610/602 provides six. In each zone the user can freely select sources, raise and lower the volume, adjust the bass or the treble without affecting users in other zones! All the performance and ability that a dedicated stack of high-end separates would give a user in each room, without any of the visible clutter. The multi-zone receiver and all shared sources can be concealed in a cabinet or rack in one central location. Only a keypad need be seen in any zone!

Connect Up to Nine Shared Sources

More than any other single feature, the nine input capability frees the system architecture from restriction. Now, designs can include multiple CD changers or multi-output hard drives. Nine inputs enables your system to grow in the future and accommodate any new technology. Built-in IR routing allows any of the source com- ponents to be identical, yet still be controlled independently without problems.

Video For The Entire House

The CT Receivers incorporate a composite video matrix, delivering a pristine picture to every room in the house. One touch to your remote control or keypad enables you to select from up to ten video sources (nine shared and one dedicated to each zone).

Twin AM/FM Tuners Allow Simultaneous Listening to Two Radio Stations

The CT Receiver Family offers a combination of internal AM/FM tuner configurations. The CT610 and CT310 include two internal tuners. The CT602 also includes two internal tuners. The CT600 and CT300 include one internal AM/FM tuner.

Six Dedicated Zone Inputs

Each zone has its own dedicated local Audio/Video source input. This input can detect when a source is being played and automatically turn the zone on and/or switch from one of the nine shared sources. All the user needs to do is turn on the local source, simple!
