CT Receiver Features and Benefits
Separates Performance
The CT Receivers are born into the heritage of twenty years experience designing and building high current
low distortion high-end separates. Every design, concept, and tested part, unifies the vision that critical listen-
ing happens when the music matters. It doesn't matter where you are or what room you are in. With a B&K
Multi-Zone receiver, any room gets the solid deep bass, the warmth, and the transparency of B&K.
Extraordinary preamplifier build quality using 1% Metal Film resistors and computer grade electrolytic capaci-
tors lend the CT Reciever preamplifier section precision, linearity and dynamics that will reveal every detail
your source components can provide. The ultimate reason to own B&K is the astonishing revolution in per-
formance you'll enjoy. Available in 17” (standard) and 19” (rack mount) black or silver faceplates.
Built-In Intelligence
The CT Receivers work quietly behind the scenes to provide simple automation and flexibility for everyday liv-
ing. Using unique Personal Action Macros

system, the CT Receiver instantly
recalls your favorite settings without any additional external automation systems. The intelligence is built in.
A Single Keypad in Each Room - Multi-Zone From One Central System
The CT310/300 provides three independent listening Zones, the CT610/602 provides six. In each zone the
user can freely select sources, raise and lower the volume, adjust the bass or the treble without affecting
users in other zones! All the performance and ability that a dedicated stack of high-end separates would give
a user in each room, without any of the visible clutter. The multi-zone receiver and all shared sources can be
concealed in a cabinet or rack in one central location. Only a keypad need be seen in any zone!
Connect Up to Nine Shared Sources
More than any other single feature, the nine input capability frees the system architecture from restriction.
Now, designs can include multiple CD changers or multi-output hard drives. Nine inputs enables your system
to grow in the future and accommodate any new technology. Built-in IR routing allows any of the source com-
ponents to be identical, yet still be controlled independently without problems.
Video For The Entire House
The CT Receivers incorporate a composite video matrix, delivering a pristine picture to every room in the
house. One touch to your remote control or keypad enables you to select from up to ten video sources (nine
shared and one dedicated to each zone).
Twin AM/FM Tuners Allow Simultaneous Listening to Two Radio Stations
The CT Receiver Family offers a combination of internal AM/FM tuner configurations. The CT610 and CT310
include two internal tuners. The CT602 also includes two internal tuners. The CT600 and CT300 include one
internal AM/FM tuner.
Six Dedicated Zone Inputs
Each zone has its own dedicated local Audio/Video source input. This input can detect when a source is
being played and automatically turn the zone on and/or switch from one of the nine shared sources. All the
user needs to do is turn on the local source, simple!
