True to the Music ® OVERVIEW A typical direct box is a device that lets you interface an unbalanced audio output with a professional balanced input, such as those commonly found on a PA or recording system. The Radial BT-Pro is similar in that it pairs with a Bluetooth enabled transmit device and converts the streamed digital signal to balanced stereo analog outputs for connection to any pro audio device.
True to the Music ® FEATURES 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1. LEVEL: Used to set the overall output volume at the XLR and headphone outputs. 2. MONO: Sums the stereo signal to mono. When active, the LED indicator illuminates. Mono mode allows you to reduce the channel count on the PA or send identical mono signals to two separate audio systems simultaneously. 3. HEADPHONE: Mini 3.5mm stereo (1/8”) TRS headphone output is used to check the output from the source for troubleshooting. 4.
True to the Music ® MAKING CONNECTIONS Before making any audio connections to the BT-Pro, always ensure your audio system is either turned down or turned off in order to protect more sensitive components from damage caused by loud turn-on or plug-in transients. POWERING THE BT-PRO The BT-Pro uses a USB Type-C connector and cable for its power requirements. Use the included ‘USB-C to USB-A’ cable and connect to a computer, USB hub or the included USB wall charger.
True to the Music ® CONNECTING TO THE AUDIO SYSTEM Connecting the BT-Pro to your audio system is done using two XLR cables. These XLRs can be connected to mic or line level inputs, depending on the setting on the BT-Pro LEVEL control. NOTE: The BT-Pro is capable of producing line-level signals, which can easily overload the inputs of a microphone preamplifier. Always start with the LEVEL control turned all the way down before testing playback.
True to the Music ® BLUETOOTH PAIRING Once the BT-Pro is connected to a power supply, the PAIR LED will flash red, then begin to alternate between red and yellow. At this point the BT-Pro will be available to pair with Bluetooth devices. Check the available devices on your Bluetooth enabled playback source; the BT-Pro should appear in the list as ‘Radial-XXXXXX’, where the last 6 digits will be the unique identifier for the BT-Pro.
True to the Music ® Going out of range If your Bluetooth device goes out of the range of your BT-Pro (greater than 30 meters), the device playback will pause and the PAIR LED on the BT-Pro will slowly blink red to show the unit is in ‘Standby’ mode. Once the device is back in range, the BT-Pro will automatically reconnect to continue playing back audio from your Bluetooth device. Standby mode will not allow another Bluetooth device to pair with the BT-Pro.
True to the Music ® Using Multiple BT-Pro’s in one location Some applications require the use of multiple BT-Pro’s within close proximity, such as a dance studio with multiple rooms. The BT-Pro makes this easy, as each unit has its own unique identifier visible in your available bluetooth device menu. For example, three different BT-Pro’s might show up as Radial-100001, Radial-100002 and Radial-100003 when powered up within range of your bluetooth device.
