Switchcraft AudioStix 318BTS XLR Bluetooth Receiver - Stereo

This device is excellent. It is well made, easy to install, easy to connect and needs NO BATTERIES 👍 with Phantom power active on the mixer channel(s) it is using. Connects easily to any blue tooth capable device such as computers, tablets, phones or music player. Great for wireless control of break music during a live show or for band rehearsal playing/singing along with prerecorded music. Particularly powerful when used with OnSong on an iPad using multi tracks.

Works very well in our soundboard, has really good quality and the Bluetooth works from a long ways away.

I’m not sure why a significant delay in sound transmission is called “low latency”. I would think low latency would mean you could that audio from a video would not be completely separated from lip movement, or maybe you could sing with a bluetooth microphone. certainly not. There is considerable delay, ruling out any live music usages.

Well built, connects quick, great range

I would have given this 3 stars because the range is so disappointing (only about 20 feet), but I'm giving it 4 because of how incredibly handy it is. If you're an audio engineer, you know how fragmented the cell phone headphone jack adapter situation is right now. When clients come up to you and need to play content from a phone, you are expected to have the adapter they need. And there's all sorts of adapters on the market. My new phone also doesn't have a headphone jack, and when looking for a one-size-fits-all solution, I stumbled across this adapter. While I would never use Bluetooth for a mission critical application, this is a fantastically convenient way to get audio into a professional sound system for casual use. The power over phantom means there's no need for external power, and the stereo/mono option allows for easy flexibility. I have two of these units, one stays plugged into my console, and one lives with a small powered speaker, and they've both come in handy on many occasions. My only complaint is the range. I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones that have a 50-75' range through walls, so I know it's not a Bluetooth limitation. This unit is only about 25' line of sight. I work in small clubs and figured I'd be able to have my phone in my pocket and use this to play house music as long as I was on/around stage. I found that even if I walked to the other side of the stage from the receiver, I would begin to experience dropouts. This does slightly limit the applications I could use this unit for. If I kept the phone close to the receiver though, all worked great. Hopefully, Switchcraft will release an updated version with a better antenna to earn my 5th star. In the meantime, I will still be using this unit. Even with the range limitation, it's still a great, convenient option for interfacing pro audio gear with Bluetooth.

“Just plug and play”, as for working with Church. Media Ministry you know that sometimes you’re all over specially when others have their own music. Having this device Eliminate so much. (You need this) can store up to 8 different devices!! Enough Said.

Attached to a stereo pair of xlr on my mixer, turned on phantom power, paired to my iPhone easily and turned the volume up. Working range is only about 30 feet. Any further and you will risk a Bluetooth dropout. This is pricey for a Bluetooth adapter but is compact, easy to use and works.

Have to buy adapter separately if you don’t have phantom power. My system does, but it wouldn’t work. Had to buy separate electric supply. Other than that this is an excellent addition to my sound system.
