ZEN Air Blue


Get maximum sound quality from Bluetooth audio with the ZEN Air Blue.
The ZEN Air Blue is a high-quality Bluetooth audio receiver. It
converts Bluetooth audio streams from smartphones, computers, or tablets
into an audio stream suitable for headphones, amplifiers and active
speakers (speakers that run on their own DC power).

Hear the difference


The ZEN Air Blue will give you the maximum sound quality from your
device – your smartphone, computer, or tablet – as it operates at the
highest audio resolution level of any Bluetooth system. The Bluetooth
system inside has been upgraded by iFi to avoid the 40% drop in audio
quality that you typically experience with standard Bluetooth (compared
to wired audio). It’s the ideal way to wirelessly connect your smart
device to a sound system in super hi-res (high resolution).

The ZEN Air Blue supports any current Bluetooth stereo audio codec (signal) available on the market today.


SBC – standard Bluetooth used by most audio devices

aptX – better than SBC, widely used, found in Android devices

AAC – better than SBC, widely used, found in Apple devices

aptX HD, aptxLL & aptX Adaptive – variations on an improved aptX

LDAC – extremely high quality, designed by Sony

LHDC – extremely high quality, designed by Huawei

Basically, regardless of whichever device you are using for streaming music via Bluetooth, you're covered.


HD quality streaming


It’s also an easy and reliable way to add Bluetooth streaming to an
existing set-up or upgrade the sound quality of any speaker or system
that uses standard Bluetooth. ZEN Air Blue is Bluetooth v5.1 compliant,
offers excellent wireless range, runs with superb stability, and has
smooth performance.

Let the Air into your system and blow the cobwebs away.
