Heritage Audio BT-500 500 Series Bluetooth Streaming Module
Product Description
The Heritage Audio BT-500 streams audio from your mobile device over Bluetooth and delivers a fully balanced, +22 dBu stereo output. Employing latest generation audio specific Bluetooth technology, the best Codecs your devices can support, and a state-of-the-art Burr Brown based analog signal path, it solves the irritating problem of connecting your iOS or Android device to your Studio setup.
To this day this has been solved using mini-jack to XLRs adapter cables, but the limitations of mobile devices' analog audio paths have become clearly apparent. Listening to references on the iTunes Store, recordings sent by email, Spotify, You Tube, you name it. You do it every day, all the time. Nevertheless integration has been inconvenient to say the least, until now.
SOUND QUALITY OVER BLUETOOTH? AAC & APT
The BT-500 automatically recognizes your device's best codec option and uses it for streaming. Apple's iTunes Store and YouTube use AAC as native so streaming from an iPhone or iPad will result in a lossless transmission, much better than an analog wired connection! The vast majority of Android devices have already adopted the APTX codec, which is nearly lossless and the standard that wireless high-quality headsets and sound bars have adopted. In case your device can't support neither AAC nor APTX, the BT-500 will stream audio using the classic SBC codec.
BURR BROWN PEDIGREE´S IN THE ANALOG PATH
The BT-500 substitutes your mobile device's analog circuitry with a state of the art, fully differential Burr Brown balanced output stage which delivers a full 0 dBfs = +22 dBu output able to drive a load of 600 Ohms. This allows direct level comparisons while mastering or mixing with Apple´s iTunes Store or mobile stored reference mixes.
