QSC Attero Tech unD6IO-BT – Dante/AES67 Multi-I/O Wall Plate with Bluetooth

Product Overview

The Attero Tech by QSC unD6IO-BT is a Dante/AES67 networked audio wall plate with integrated Bluetooth, bringing wired and wireless sources onto a Dante or AES67 network from a single wall location. As a 4x2 multi-I/O Dante wall plate with Bluetooth, it pairs consumer-style connectivity with professional networked audio, eliminating the ground-loop and signal problems common to consumer devices. Designed for BYOD huddle rooms, conference room AV systems, and hospitality spaces, the unD6IO-BT fits a standard dual-gang US junction box and is powered over a single CAT-5e/6 cable via PoE. It integrates directly into the Q-SYS Ecosystem and is Dante Domain Manager ready.

Product Description

The unD6IO-BT provides stereo Bluetooth wireless input, two RCA line-level inputs, and a 3.5 mm TRS line input, plus a front-panel 3.5 mm TRS line output, all bridged to the audio network. Audio channels 1 and 2 route stereo Bluetooth directly to Dante, while Dante transmitter channels 3 and 4 can be sourced from the RCA inputs, the 3.5 mm input, or a sum of each via switchable input selection. Bluetooth supports the A2DP profile for stereo streaming and the HFP profile for call bridging, with one-button pairing in manual, automatic, and exclusive modes, and the pairing button can be defeated for restricted-use applications under third-party control. Because the device is PoE-enabled, a single CAT-5e/6 cable carries power, control, and audio data, simplifying installation in a standard dual-gang US box. The unD6IO-BT is Dante Domain Manager ready and interoperates with any Dante or AES67 network, with a Q-SYS Designer control plugin available through the Asset Manager for native touch-screen control and monitoring. The product ships with both black and white Decora plates and fascia inserts to match the room. To build out a complete Q-SYS signal chain, pair it with the QSC Core 510i Kit processor.

Discontinued: unD6IO-BT Status and Replacement Options

The unD6IO-BT is discontinued. QSC's own product page for the unD6IO-BT states that the product has been discontinued and directs buyers to check with their Q-SYS regional sales representative for remaining stock availability. Creation Networks lists this item for reference, specification lookup and support of already-installed systems.

There is no drop-in Bluetooth successor. QSC has not published a direct replacement model, and no wall plate in the current Attero Tech by QSC range includes an onboard Bluetooth receiver. The practical path forward depends on whether Bluetooth is genuinely required at the wall:

• If you need the same wall plate without Bluetooth — the Attero Tech unD6IO is the closest current equivalent. It is a current, non-discontinued Dante/AES67 wall plate in the same dual-gang Decora format, PoE-capable to IEEE 802.3af, with two balanced RF-filtered XLR inputs, two RCA stereo unbalanced inputs and one 3.5 mm stereo unbalanced input, plus two balanced line outputs on a depluggable Euroblock and two unbalanced outputs on a stereo 3.5 mm jack.
• If you need a comparable 4x2 mic/line wall plate — the Attero Tech unDX4I is a current Dante/AES67 model in the same family.
• If a smaller input count is enough — the Attero Tech unDX2IO+ and the Attero Tech D2i remain current Dante/AES67 wall-plate options.
• If Bluetooth is essential — because no current Attero Tech wall plate carries a Bluetooth receiver, Bluetooth input now has to be added as a separate device feeding the Dante network or the room processor, rather than at the wall plate itself. Creation Networks can specify a current option for your room design.

All four alternatives above are listed by QSC as current, non-discontinued Attero Tech wall-mount network audio interfaces, and all use Dante/AES67 so they retain compatibility with an existing Dante or Q-SYS deployment. Contact Creation Networks for a like-for-like replacement recommendation against your existing Q-SYS design file.

unD6IO-BT Dante Channel Map

The unD6IO-BT presents four Dante transmitter channels and two Dante receiver channels. Knowing the exact routing matters when re-subscribing an existing design or documenting an installed system.

Output level on the receive side is software selectable from 0 dB down to -60 dB in 1 dB steps, with maximum input and output level of +12 dBu on the RCA and 3.5 mm connections.

Attero Tech Wall Plate Comparison

How the discontinued unD6IO-BT sits against the wall-mount network audio interfaces QSC currently lists in the Attero Tech by QSC range.

What Is in the Box

• unD6IO-BT wall plate module — 3.54 x 4.2 x 1.88 in (89.91 x 106.68 x 47.752 mm).
• Black and white Decora plates — both colours supplied so the plate can be matched to the room finish.
• Black and white fascia inserts — supplied to match the selected plate colour.

The assembled two-gang Decora wall plate measures 4.87 x 4.94 x 0.08 in (123.7 x 125.48 x 2.03 mm), and the product ships in a 6 x 6 x 4 in carton. A separate product accessory kit is offered by QSC and is not included.

System and Deployment Requirements

• PoE switch or injector — the wall plate has no local power input; a single CAT-5e/6 run must deliver PoE along with control and audio data.
• Dual-gang US junction box — the module fits most standard dual-gang US boxes behind the supplied Decora plate. Confirm box depth against the 1.88 in module depth before rough-in.
• A Dante or AES67 network — the plate is an on-ramp only. Channels must be subscribed to a destination such as a Q-SYS Core, a Dante-equipped DSP or another Dante endpoint before audio flows.
• Dante controller software — required for device naming, sample-rate settings and subscriptions. The device is Dante Domain Manager ready for enterprise-managed networks.
• Q-SYS Designer, if used with Q-SYS — the Attero Tech control plugin is pulled from the Q-SYS Designer Asset Manager. It is a non-Q-SYS-native peripheral, so control and monitoring come via that extension rather than native discovery.
• Restricted-use rooms — the Bluetooth pairing button can be defeated so pairing is only permitted under third-party control.

Replacement and Compatibility FAQs

Is the unD6IO-BT discontinued? Yes. QSC's product page for the unD6IO-BT carries an explicit discontinued notice and asks buyers to check with their Q-SYS regional sales representative about remaining stock availability.

What is the direct replacement for the unD6IO-BT? QSC has not named a successor model, and no wall plate in the current Attero Tech by QSC range includes Bluetooth. The closest current equivalent in the same dual-gang Decora, PoE, Dante/AES67 format is the unD6IO, which drops Bluetooth but adds two balanced XLR inputs and balanced Euroblock outputs. Where Bluetooth input is a hard requirement, it now needs to be added as a separate device rather than at the wall plate.

Can I still buy one? Only from remaining channel stock. QSC directs enquiries to the regional Q-SYS sales representative for availability, so quantities and lead times vary. Contact Creation Networks to check current stock or to price a current-generation alternative.

How many Dante channels does it have? Four Dante transmitter channels and two Dante receiver channels. Transmitter channels 1 and 2 carry the stereo Bluetooth input; transmitter channels 3 and 4 carry the RCA inputs, the 3.5 mm input, or a sum of them; receiver channels 1 and 2 feed the front-panel 3.5 mm output.

Does it require a Q-SYS Core? No. The unD6IO-BT is a standard Dante/AES67 endpoint, so it works on any Dante or AES67 network and does not require Q-SYS. If it is used in a Q-SYS system, the Attero Tech control plugin from the Q-SYS Designer Asset Manager adds control and monitoring, including from Q-SYS touch-screen controllers.

What are the power and cabling requirements? A single CAT-5e/6 cable carries power, control and audio. The device is PoE-powered with no local power input, so the switch port or midspan injector must supply PoE.

What wall box does it need? A standard US dual-gang junction box, finished with the supplied Decora plate. The module itself is 1.88 in deep, so check the available box depth plus cable bend radius before rough-in.

Will replacing it with a unD6IO break my existing Dante design? The unD6IO is also Dante/AES67, so it participates in the same network, but the channel map and connector set differ — it has no Bluetooth transmit channels and its analog I/O uses XLR and Euroblock rather than a front 3.5 mm output. Existing subscriptions and any Q-SYS control logic tied to the Bluetooth pairing functions will need to be re-worked. Creation Networks can review your Q-SYS design file and identify exactly what changes.
