Bluetooth Module for Your Studio Monitors

The Kali Audio MV-BT transforms your studio monitors into Bluetooth speakers, and makes streaming reference tracks from your smart device a breeze. This Bluetooth input module includes balanced XLR and TRS outputs for connecting to your studio rig. A large, weighted knob controls the volume of your playback device, while the aptX codec ensures high-quality Bluetooth transmission. The MV-BT is an elegant solution for piping audio from a Bluetooth-capable device to your monitors — no wires necessary.

Use your favorite streaming service for reference

Getting audio from your Bluetooth-capable smart device to your studio monitors has always been a hassle. But, thanks to the Kali Audio MV-BT that’s no longer the case. Just connect the MV-BT to your studio rig via its XLR outputs, then pair your device by pressing the Kali logo on its top panel. At Sweetwater, we appreciate the convenience of being able to fire up our favorite streaming service and use it for a mix reference.

What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:

2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!

It works well!
XLR & TRS jacks on the back, 5V DC power, and an 1/8" aux input on the left side.
Press the Kali button to pair, it'll flash and be discoverable as 'Kali MVBT' for Bluetooth-enabled devices.

It's got a big knob on the top, you might have noticed,
It has a nice bump with each step from the incremental rotary encoder inside (best guess).
The level is displayed with the illuminated blue crescent around the dial.
Has noticeable steps in the light crescent, but it's smooth enough and looks nice.
It looks nice, dangit!

They got me for bucks, I'm a sucker for convenience!

The one downside, and it's a special case thing:
I don't think you can record audio on the device while it's casting.
You can play music, but at least on my iPhone, the MVBT takes the mic as well.
Not the end of the world for me.

Overall I recommend it, pairs well with the Kali LP-6s!

This device is amazing, it does exactly what it says it does. It became my main go between for Bluetooth connectivity for my studio. I can now audition sounds direct from my phone.

Excellent sound and easy to use and connect. 5 stars!!!

It's astonishingly good… sound quality is superb, the Bluetooth stack is flawless. It's just a pleasure to own, connects faster than any other Bluetooth device I've ever seen, zero noise and great fidelity, there's literally almost nothing to not like here… my single complaint is the volume knob which works perfectly but takes two turns to go from zero to one hundred, I'd prefer one turn, but I get it, it gives you finer control of the volume…
