The BK10 is an A-BUS control of speaker volume levels, Standby/On and source select (with compatible Cambridge Audio equipment), as well as having an IR window for both receiving remote control signals and passing them to connected source equipment (IR pass-through). The BK10 can connect to the Incognito Ready outputs of Cambridge Audio receivers and amplifiers, or A-BUS hubs and A-BUS Ready receivers from other manufacturers, using Cat-5 wiring. -
