When a teacher wishes to connect with the audio system for a sports lesson, commercially available Bluetooth audio interfaces will often display cryptic designations such as “XPqiiMV-34TRR96” or similarly confusing names on the display of their mobile device. Additionally, the receivers of surrounding halls and sports venues will also appear. These usually do not have a specific name and can hardly be assigned exactly. The situations in locations such as hotels, gyms or health spas can pose similar challenges.

This is where BTone provides clarity. The Bluetooth designation can be defined freely, and two visibility modes increase the ease of use. In the first mode, the BTone is only visible and connectable at the push of the button for a time window of 50 seconds, in the second mode, this is always visible and connectable. An active Bluetooth connection can be disconnected with the push of a button. Additionally, it is possible to activate a PIN code when a connection is to be established.

You can easily switch between Dante and AES67 for bi-directional audio transmissions. The BTone and mobile devices can be controlled via the API and it is additionally possible to, for example, retrieve information on the currently playing song.
