With Audinate's Dante AVIO Bluetooth IO 2x1, users can easily integrate signals wirelessly via Bluetooth into Dante networks. This device is a further expansion of the manufacturer's portfolio of solutions for connecting non-integrated devices to a Dante audio network, which is widely considered a universal industry standard and enables professional-level scalable audio and video transmissions. This adapter for wireless transmission to Dante networks was designed for the recording and playback of stereo signals in remote applications. Despite its impressively compact size, it offers a fully functional Dante interface with high levels of user-friendliness. Moreover, it can also be used to transmit signals into any audio network – not just Dante – via the standard AES67 protocol.
The Audinate Dante AVIO Bluetooth IO Adapter 2x1 enables a whole-network bit-accurate reproduction of audio streams, an extremely low latency, and a sample-accurate synchronisation. Users can transmit the signal of one output and up to two audio inputs for stereo sound in 48kHz, 24-bit quality. The adapter signal is integrated into the network via a RJ45 connector. A latency of 1, 2, or 5 milliseconds can be set using the software Dante Controller. The wireless connection uses the Bluetooth profile A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile), which supports mobile devices with an Android version higher than 1.5, as well as iOS devices from version 3.0. Older devices can be used with an A2DP adapter (sold separately), which can be connected via line or PIN jacks.
This adapter for wireless integration into Dante audio networks can be used with all devices like smartphones, tablets, or MP3 players – instantly, without installing any software first. This means that, while the Audinate Dante AVIO Bluetooth IO Adapter 2x1 can easily be used to create flawless conferences and presentations, it is an equally reliable tool for other, larger applications such as a P.A. – or anywhere sound is amplified. And it isn't necessary to configure the Dante network before use for every new application: As every operating system is supported, any audio signal can be easily integrated wirelessly into the user's existing Dante network. Bluetooth technology makes it easy to switch between local playback from a hand-held device to a conference system in a matter of seconds.
Audinate was founded in 2003 by Aidan Williams. It introduced Dante, an innovative networking technology that finally solved the problems of delivering tightly synchronised audio with extremely low network latency. In doing so, Audinate transferred these advantages from IT technology to the professional AV industry. And in simplifying network setup, the manufacturer also created a new type of user interface that quickly proved intuitive and easy to use. Today, the Dante network is firmly established on the market and is used by companies worldwide for the professional transmission of audio and video signals. By the end of 2014, more than 170 manufacturers had partnered with Audinate. The most common areas of application are live events, broadcast transmissions, and conferences.
The Audinate Dante AVIO Bluetooth IO Adapter 2x1 is solidly built and will provide many years of reliable and secure use in all applications – even in difficult conditions. Whether on-the-road or in fixed installations, thanks to its small size, it's a perfect match for every situation: it's recognized automatically by every device and ready-to-use as soon as it is connected to a Dante network. A separate power supply is not necessary – everything is powered by a conventional PoE switch (Power over Ethernet). It goes without saying that all Audinate adapters are compatible with the Dante Domain Manager (DDM) for seamless device management in every Dante network. Audinate adapters have been awarded a number of prizes, confirming their reliability, flexibility, and professional quality: Among these awards are the AMM Show 36th TEC Award (in 2021) and the ProSoundWeb Reader's Choice Award (in 2019).
