xIO Bluetooth¶

Using a modern, full-featured Bluetooth 5.0 chipset allows the xIO Bluetooth to offer extended range, a stable connection, and world-class audio quality. Available in both US and EU form factors, the xIO Bluetooth has a clean, sleek design and is compatible with standard single gang US wall boxes with Decora faceplates, as well as EU/UK standard wall boxes.

IP control and PoE power simplify installation by allowing a single cable connection from the xIO Bluetooth to a PoE enabled network switch. The xIO Bluetooth may be configured to allow media-only connectivity, phone bridge connectivity, or both. All aspects of xIO Bluetooth control can be controlled using Symetrix remotes, SymVue panels, or third-party control systems.

The xIO Bluetooth is a fully integrated member of the Symetrix xIO family of Dante endpoints allowing full control and configuration of the device, including Dante routing, from within Symetrix ComposerTM software. All aspects of the xIO Bluetooth are fully configurable including the Bluetooth friendly device name, Dante channel names, connect/reconnect functionality, and security.

A&E Specifications¶

The xIO Bluetooth shall be available in a single gang black or white Decora® wall plate, and compatible with US or EU/UK wall boxes.

The device shall utilize Bluetooth® 5.0 to provide stereo media streaming from connected user endpoints, as well as bidirectional capabilities for bridging phone calls. Both options shall be available simultaneously.

The device shall also provide a front panel button for Bluetooth® pairing, as well as a multicolor LED to show device status.

Dante™ shall be utilized to transmit two channels of stereo audio from the device onto a Dante™ network to be received by any Dante-compatible endpoint. Conversely, one channel of Dante™ audio shall also be received by the xIO Bluetooth when configured as a phone bridge. Audio sampling rate shall be at 48 kHz, with 24-bit resolution. The connector shall be 100 Base-T RJ45 utilizing CAT6 cable.

Device shall be able to be used out of the box, in a standalone manner, by pressing and holding the front panel button to enable pairing for basic media streaming. Dante subscriptions may then be made via Dante Controller software. For more detailed configuration and control of the device, a designer software application shall be provided that operates on a Windows computer, with network interface installed, running Windows® 7 or higher operating system. Computer connection for configuration shall be via a hosting DSP unit’s rear panel Ethernet connector that communicates with the devices via Dante™.

The device shall be powered over Ethernet (PoE) by an Ethernet cable from an IEEE 802.3af PoE compliant network switch, or injector. The device shall meet UL/CSA and CE safety requirements and comply with CE and FCC Part 15 emissions limits. The device shall be RoHS compliant.

The device shall be aSymetrix xIO Bluetooth.
