D-BTN21

Bluetooth® Audio Dante Network Interface


The D SERIES-BTN21 modules are Dante or AES67 networked, wall-mounted audio interfaces that provide bidirectional Bluetooth audio. The modules are configurable using RDL CONSOLE software and are controllable by compatible remote controls or software. The module multicasts Bluetooth media data and module function status for use with RDL CONSOLE software, compatible RDL remote controls and other compatible software. Stereo or summed mono audio is available to users through two Dante network channels. Stereo or mono audio may be selected using RDL CONSOLE software or by remote control commands. One Dante channel may be routed back to a connected device through the Bluetooth interface enabling full duplex communication.

Compatible RDL remote controls may be configured to control from one to eight D SERIES-BTN21 modules. Controllable Bluetooth functions include pairing or un-pairing, media source track selection (play, pause, next track, last track) and level adjustment from the originating Bluetooth device. Remote controls equipped with a screen may display the track title and artist.

The installer can customize the module Bluetooth name using RDL CONSOLE software. Additional settings include the LED dim intensity and the timeout to dim the LEDs. The default timeout is 30 seconds.

The D-BTN21 fits a standard US single-gang electrical box or can be used with the RDL EP-1 adaptor for mounting in EU/UK square back boxes with 60 mm distance screw hole mounting centers. The D-BTN21 is PoE powered and is available in multiple finishes with optional customized graphics.

High performance, simplicity of operation and efficiency of installation make RDL the best value in professional Bluetooth interfaces.
