Shure RMCE-BT2 Faq

1. What is the difference between Bluetooth® 5 and prior versions of
Bluetooth?
Bluetooth 5 is the latest version of the wireless communication standard.
A new version of the Bluetooth standard means various improvements,
but only when used with compatible peripherals. In other words, you
won't see any immediate benefit from upgrading to a phone with
Bluetooth 5.0 if all your Bluetooth accessories were designed for an older
version of Bluetooth. However, Bluetooth is backward compatible, so you
can continue using your existing Bluetooth 4.2 and older devices with a
Bluetooth 5.0 phone. When you buy new Bluetooth 5.0-enabled
peripherals, they'll work better thanks to your Bluetooth 5.0 phone.

2. What codecs does the RMCE-BT2 product support?

The RMCE-BT2 has support for multiple codecs including Qualcomm®
aptX™ audio, aptX™ HD, aptX™ Low Latency, AAC and SBC for superior
digital audio. The RMCE-BT1 provides SBC codec support.

3. What is an audio codec?

An audio codec is a codec (a device or computer program capable of
encoding or decoding a digital data stream) that encodes or decodes
audio. In software, an audio codec is a computer program implementing
an algorithm that compresses and decompresses digital audio data
according to a given audio file or streaming media audio coding format.
The objective of the algorithm is to represent the high-fidelity audio
signal with minimum number of bits while retaining quality. This can
effectively reduce the storage space and the bandwidth required for
transmission of the stored audio file. Most codecs are implemented as
libraries which interface to one or more multimedia players.
