Symetrix has announced the xIO Bluetooth, the first Dante-enabled Bluetooth endpoint available in a single gang form factor.
Using a fully-featured Bluetooth 5.0 chipset, the xIO Bluetooth offers extended range and stable connection in both US and EU form factors, and is compatible with standard single-gang US wallboxes with Decora faceplates, as well as EU/UK standard wallboxes.
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 member of the Symetrix xIO family of Dante endpoints allowing full control and configuration of the device, including Dante routing, from within Symetrix Composer software. All aspects of the xIO Bluetooth are fully configurable, including the Bluetooth friendly device name, Dante channel names, connect/reconnect functionality and security.
The xIO Bluetooth will begin shipping in Q3 2020.
