New Yamaha Desktop Audio Systems Combine Bluetooth Streaming With Analog Audio

Yamaha bowed a pair of Bluetooth compact audio systems Tuesday that include CD players, AM/FM radios and USB music playback. The TSX-B141 ($399) and TSX-B235 ($349) stream over Bluetooth with aptX and offer AAC support, said the company. The systems can also be paired to near field communication-compatible Bluetooth phones and other devices, it said. Users can control the systems via smartphone with Yamaha’s app that can power the systems on and off, adjust volume, select sources and operate clock-related functions including the IntelliAlarm function that wakes up users to selected songs, it said.
