{"product_id":"rdl-ds-btn21","title":"RDL DS-BTN21 – Wall-Mount Bluetooth Dante Interface, Stainless Steel","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the RDL DS-BTN21?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RDL DS-BTN21 is a wall-mounted Bluetooth Dante interface with a stainless steel finish that brings wireless audio from phones, tablets and laptops into a Dante networked sound system. Stereo or summed-mono Bluetooth audio feeds two Dante network channels, and one Dante channel can be routed back to the paired device for full-duplex communication. The module is PoE powered and fits a standard US single-gang electrical box, suiting high-traffic commercial spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/rdlnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/ds-btn21.jpg\" alt=\"RDL DS-BTN21 wall-mounted Bluetooth Dante interface, stainless steel finish\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe DS-BTN21 places received Bluetooth audio on the Dante network as two channels at 48 kHz and 24 bits. Installers select stereo or mono operation in RDL CONSOLE software or by remote control command, and the same software customizes the Bluetooth name, LED dim intensity and dim timeout, which defaults to 30 seconds. Pairing uses a single front-panel button with LED status indication, so presenters connect without special software. A Q-SYS plug-in is available for configuring the module in a Q-SYS environment. Track title, artist and function status are multicast on the network for display on screen-equipped RDL remotes. Compatible remotes such as the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rdl-ds-nmc1r\"\u003eRDL DS-NMC1R\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rdl-ds-nlc1r\"\u003eRDL DS-NLC1R\u003c\/a\u003e can control one to eight BTN21 modules, including pairing, track selection and level.
