Nov. 12, 2012 - PRLog -- StreamPort™ wireless audio adapter is one of the first to use Smart Bluetooth 4 and the newly released apt-X low loss audio codec for CD-quality high performance streaming

Bayan Audio’s StreamPort™ is a tiny wireless audio adapter designed to work with any existing Bayan Audio speaker dock, and is one of the first to use the newly released Smart Bluetooth 4 and apt-X lossless codec.

This innovative combination of technology delivers a wireless audio streaming experience with greater stability, higher quality audio reproduction and wider compatibility with current and future Smartphones, iDevices and other media platforms.

“The StreamPort™ wireless audio adapter widens the options available to users; they can now experience the full Bayan Audio sound performance without limiting themselves to a single-brand eco system” says Prash Vadgama, CEO of Bayan Audio.

StreamPort™ can be plugged in and paired to play audio from any source device with A2DP Bluetooth compatibility, such as former and brand new Apple devices (including iPhone 5 and Nano), Android, PC, smartphones and more.

Working uninterrupted for up to 15m away from the source device, StreamPort™ will give you complete freedom around the home. So, whether you want to tweet in the garden, enjoy movies and games on a tablet whilst blasting the sound through the living room speakers, or simply want to keep your phone close by whilst enjoying an audiobook, StreamPort™ is a must-have enhancement for any Bayan Audio system.

Bayan Audio StreamPort™ will be available to buy across the UK from 25th November 2012.
