It would be great if there was a hack to change the bluetooth broadcast name, I know that there are write ups out there on other products. Can an engineer at Monoprice verify that this is not possible, or provide a hint as to how one might reprogram the name. My OCD whats me to name the Kitchen bluetooth, Kitchen, not Blue06432.?
BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question. Unfortunately we would not have any information regarding changing the bluetooth broadcast name. The name is given during the manufacturing process. Depending on the device you are using to send the bluetooth signal, you may be able to give it a nickname. I do apologize for any inconvenience.

Will this bluetooth audio receiver work with cat5e Ethernet cable?
BEST ANSWER: I've tested the Bluetooth keypad with both Cat5 and Cat5e cables connected directly to source 5 & 6 on the 6x4 multizone home audio amplifier. Both cables worked. The monoprice web page is the only place that even mentions Cat6. The user manual does not specify what type of cable to use. I thought if Cat5e can be used to extend HDMI, then it should be just fine for Bluetooth audio. I'll be using Cat5e for a 150 foot run.

I have the Monoprice 6-zone amp and an available RJ45 input on the hub to which all wall plates are connected. If I buy this Bluetooth receiver, will I also need the RJ45 to RCA converter? Or can I simply plug in the Cat 6 cable to that open input?
Monoprice Multizone Source Keypad with Bluetooth Receiver
BEST ANSWER: You have to have the converter because the bluetooth reciever is not a zone or a controler. It has to plug in to the converter to be able to plug in to a source input.

Would this work with a Russound structured home audio system? My concern is that the purpose of the wires match up.
BEST ANSWER: Yes it will work with rj45 to rca converter. Part number 13356. Then you will come out analog to your system source. Hope this helps.

What is the input voltage for this? There is no spec on this device. Thanks!
BEST ANSWER: The unit is paired with the receiver. There is no power connection on the keypad. It gets its power through a cat5e cable connected to the reciever at the other end of the cat5e cable.

Does this unit as well as the RJ45 require any power source? If so what type ?
Monoprice Multizone Source Keypad with Bluetooth Receiver
BEST ANSWER: The Keypad gets power from the Multizone RJ45 Converter. There is no power source for the keypad without the converter. The Multizone Converter comes with a small AC power adapter that plugs in to a standard wall outlet. .

Does this unit have to connect directly to the Multizone RJ45 to RCA Converter? Or will the signal pass through a switch and find its way to its destination properly?
Monoprice Multizone Source Keypad with Bluetooth Receiver

Why are these items priced at $84.99 together, when they are priced separately at $72.48?

BEST ANSWER: The components go on sale. The bundle does not reflect the individual prices. When this happens it is best to buy separate.

Is it possible to install multiple units in a home? How would we identify the different units to pair? is it possible to rename them?
BEST ANSWER: Yes, you are only limited by the number of Rj-45 connections on the reicever. You can also purchase additional RJ45 to RCA converters if you want more.
They are each given a unique name (pretty sure) but they are hard coded. So the first one might be blue00324 and the next blue12343

Can a standard CAT5/5e/6 cable be wired in duplex (4 wires per 2 wall plates) so that one wire can serve both the Bluetooth receiver plate as well as the multi-zone controller panel?
Monoprice Multizone Source Keypad with Bluetooth Receiver
Do you have any plans to produce a combination wall control unit that has both the controls for the multi-zone receiver AS WELL AS the Bluetooth pairing features? At the moment this unit would require running new wires which is not an option, where as a drop in replacement for the standard multi-zone receiver wall controls would be as simple as swapping out without any additional wiring or effort.

Great quality, not designed for more than one
I bought this and one from a competitor that was twice the price. The other unit was noisy highly susceptible to interference. This one is great. The sound quality is crystal clear and it has impressive range.
The only problem is you can't rename it. Every unit has the exact same name, which becomes a problem if you install multiples in the same general area (made worse by the excellent range...). Good luck getting your devices to pair to the intended receiver, when they all broadcast the same name. It would even be better if they had a totally random name, since you could ensure you were pairing to the right device.

Very solid product using cat 5/6 cables
I have installed 2 pairs of the BT receivers. They work very well. Cat5 cable make the installation very easy and saved the hustle to work multiple type of cables such as power.
I haven't tested range but they have stable connections as long as my phones are in the same rooms. The built in looks are very attractive.
