The UP Travel Max toggles seamlessly between Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) modes, for two premium Bluetooth experiences. Use TX mode for streaming in-flight audio or output from devices with a headphone jack, such as laptops. Use RX mode and plug into your car’s AUX input for hi-res Bluetooth streaming.
The UP Travel Max supports a range of codecs, including Hi-Res codecs such as LDAC, and aptX Lossless for CD quality lossless Bluetooth – this ensures maximum compatibility with headphones and source devices, so everyone can benefit from improved Bluetooth audio in their setup.
Harmonic detail is often lost in the digitisation process of audio, leaving music feeling sterile and lifeless. JVCKENWOOD’s K2 Technology restores these details for a more detailed and authentic listening experience, just as the original artist intended.
The UP Travel Max is one of the first iFi audio devices to include full Auracast compatibility, allowing Bluetooth streaming to an unlimited number of Auracast compatible devices, including headphones, earbuds, and compatible DACs such as the iDSD GR 2.
The UP Travel Max transforms how you connect on the go, bringing Hi-Res Bluetooth connectivity everywhere you need it by connecting seamlessly to cars, in-flight audio systems, and more – a simple flick of the switch alternates between Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) modes, tailoring the UP Travel Max for whatever you need at any moment.
On a plane, it plugs into in-flight entertainment, enabling use with your Bluetooth headphones – transforming sound clarity and depth, as your seat becomes a wireless personal cinema.
In the car, switch modes and connect to the AUX input to upgrade the entire stereo system with lossless Bluetooth. No installation. No fuss.
Replacing a tangle of adapters and accessories, the UP Travel Max gives you an easier, smarter way to stay connected wherever you are.
HI-RES AUDIO
The engine driving this innovation is iFi’s renowned Hi-Fi-grade Bluetooth architecture, casting off the compromises of System-on-Chip design and tailoring each audio stage to extract maximum performance while maintaining a pocket form factor.
Bluetooth audio has typically meant trading audio quality for convenience – most devices pack every stage of the audio processing path onto a single integrated chip, capping the quality before you even hit play. The UP Travel Max does it differently.
A dedicated Qualcomm Bluetooth chip handles data transmission and reception, while a Cirrus Logic DAC with a Hi-Fi grade amp stage covers conversion and amplification - each component fully optimised for what it does best to extract the maximum quality from your Bluetooth audio.
It’s true Hi-Fi architecture, built for travel.
Lightweight
With iPods and MP3 players finding a new generation of fans, the UP Travel Max lets your old music collection move with the times. Plug its flip-out 3.5mm connector into the headphone output of a classic iPod or MP3 player, switch to transmit mode, and enjoy your favourite tracks through Bluetooth headphones or a compatible wireless speaker. There’s no need to give up the simplicity of a dedicated music player to enjoy modern wireless freedom, with aptX Lossless available when paired with compatible listening devices.
The UP Travel Max supports the latest high-quality Bluetooth codecs, including aptX Lossless for genuine CD-quality sound, and LDAC for the highest quality Bluetooth experience before going truly lossless.
Meanwhile, aptX Adaptive’s low-latency mode keeps sound in sync with the picture when you’re watching movies or TV.
A button on the front lets you switch between codecs to suit what you’re doing, and holding it down tells you which one is active.
The UP Travel Max features all-new Auracast compatibility, creating a while new world of shared listening options.
Listening together via Bluetooth used to mean awkwardly sharing half the experience with an earbud each, but no longer. Auracast offers Bluetooth broadcasting to an unlimited number of listeners.
Activated in the iFi Nexis app, anyone with compatible headphones can join in, dropping in and dropping out without the need for passwords or pairing.
With a single UP Travel Max, you can share the experience with as many people as you like, wherever you are.
For those who may not have Auracast-compatible headphones, the UP Travel Max still offers ways to share the connection. Simultaneously connect two Bluetooth headphones, so you and a companion can share the experience – each with their own perfect fit.
No more struggling to sync screens or dealing with economy-class sound. Simply connect, press play, and get lost together in the joy of sharing your favourite music and movies.
K2 Technology
Much of the music we stream loses some of its richness during digitisation – the process of saving detailed audio to a digital file. This can leave it sounding cold and clinical. The UP Travel Max includes JVCKENWOOD’s K2 Technology, activated via the iFi Nexis app, which intelligently restores the natural harmonics and fine high-frequency detail lost along the way, bringing back the warmth and emotion of the original recording.
From Hi-Res playback to hands-free calls, the UP Travel Max is built to handle it all.
A built-in microphone at the UP Travel Max’s base, combined with Qualcomm’s cVc noise and echo suppression technology, ensures every call is crisp and clear. Whether it’s an urgent business call in transit, airports, or cafés, The UP Travel Max intelligently filters out background noise in real time to ensure your voice is heard.
The UP Travel Max is the latest product to be fully integrated with the Nexis app – available on the App Store and Google Play Store.
As well as installing over-the-air updates straight from your phone, the app unlocks additional features, including advanced codec management, Auracast and K2 Technology controls, device customisation and battery optimisation.
