BM Ice 525

Die BMIce 500 Serie bietet für alle möglichen Geräte den passenden Anschluss. Ob analog-symmetrisch oder unsymmetrisch, digital-AES oder SPDIF, optisch oder per Cinch, ob per Bluetooth-ApTx oder Vinyl, jede Quelle findet in der BMIce 500 den perfekten Partner für die Musikwiedergabe auf höchstem Niveau.

Die BMIce 525 besticht durch ihre zurückhaltende Eleganz. Aus dem vollen Aluminiuim gefräste Werkstücke, handgebürstet und hochwertigt eloxiert, das sind die Elemente des im klaren Bauhaus-Design gefertigten Gehäuses. Die darin behauste B&M eigene Elektronik löst alle Anschlussprobleme und ist die ideale Schnittstelle in der Backes&Müller - Signalkette. Höchste Performance gepaart mit einfacher 'analoger' Bedienbarkeit, das ist das puristische Klang-Konzept, das bei der Entwicklung dieser ICE-Generation Pate stand.

B&M EasyLink

When used with the latest generation of BM Line speakers, the speakers can be connected not only via analog or digital AES connections but also via BM’s proprietary B&M EasyLink using CAT7 flat cable. This is a very smart and clever solution that allows for virtually “invisible” cable connections behind baseboards. Not only is the digital music data transmitted this way, but also the desired monitoring volume, ensuring maximum music resolution (full-scale word length).

The widespread availability and physical properties of the CAT connection—which is used millions of times in every computer network—make it the perfect foundation for our BM EasyLink. This ensures a flawless connection between the BMIce and our speakers, protected even against external interference.

The BMIce 525 serves as the interface between source devices of various formats and our B&M speakers.

- In addition to the existing analog and digital inputs, the BMIce also features an aptX HD Bluetooth 5.0 receiver that allows for "lossless" streaming directly from a tablet, smartphone, laptop, or other Bluetooth source.

- For the BMIce 525’s state-of-the-art vinyl input, Backes & Müller has developed a special solution for the necessary phono equalization. The RIAA equalization curve is implemented with precise time and phase accuracy using our FIRTEC equalization. Component tolerances or increased noise from the analog amplification stage are eliminated. Music from vinyl is reproduced with unprecedented clarity, a fact confirmed repeatedly in various independent listening tests.

- With the B&M-PPG Remote, you can fine-tune the speakers to perfectly match the room and their placement. If desired, you can also use it to adjust various playback devices to suit your listening preferences, among other things.

Easy to use - clear to hear

Controlled remotely via an IR remote control, analog signals are converted to digital and then transmitted losslessly in digital form to our speakers. Alternatively, you can connect the BMIce to the rest of your existing hi-fi system via a balanced analog connection. Digital music content can also be fed directly to B&M speakers via the USB input or Bluetooth—uncompressed and losslessly—in a purer, more pristine form than ever before.

The BMIce (FSVC) volume control adjusts the volume to the desired level without any loss of resolution, regardless of which input is currently active. In addition to the digital connection, the BMIce also offers an analog, balanced output with performance at the limits of what is physically possible (HD-DAC), available in both XLR and unbalanced RCA formats.
