ARRAKIS BLUETOOTH

Quality and connectivity are two fundamental requirements for broadcast radio consoles.

The ARC series consoles were the first to introduce PC & Mac connectivity with its USB audio channel. It also led the way with its use of the RJ-45 connection.

These achievements put the
ARC series ahead of its time
and gives you the power you need for your station.

Arrakis continues to lead the way in console innovation and are excited to introduce Bluetooth connectivity built into the ARC-10-blue series & ARC-15BP-blue consoles.

Both Channel 15 on the ARC-15BP-blue and Channel 10 for the ARC-10-blue series can be paired to any Bluetooth enabled device such as your cell phone, MP3 player, MP3 recorder editor and more.

Just pair your cell phone to the console, and answer your incoming calls with the built-in ‘Call’ button on the board. You may then end the call with the ‘Drop’ button, just like a standard Bluetooth phone hybrid. The caller receives the console bus mix (‘minus’ the caller audio) so there is no feedback.

The Bluetooth technology allows you to connect to any Bluetooth enabled device. You may use your Android smart phone, or tablet; as well as connect your iPhone or iPad.

This freedom gives your staff the ability to bring their MP3 player from home and play their playlists on the fly. This also gives your news guy the ability to record an interview and play it back using the completely wireless Bluetooth connection.

With the Bluetooth connection, you may stream full bandwidth, high quality stereo (A2DP) audio to the respective channel.

The ARC-blue boards use the BlueCore 5 Multimedia chip by CSR, which is the most advanced Bluetooth audio chip available, and has the performance capabilities far beyond standard Bluetooth specifications. Operating in the 2.4GHz spectrum, Bluetooth is also RF resistant.

The Bluetooth channel acts as a phone hybrid. Connect your Bluetooth enabled cell phone and place callers directly on-air, or record on the Audition bus for later playback.

Use the Call button to accept the call. Use the Drop button to either reject a call or to end a call in progress.

With cell phone technology, you may even connect up to 4 callers in a conference call (dependent on cell phone model and carrier).

You may even use the Phone channel on the board to connect to a standard phone hybrid. The audio sums in, so you can use the channel for both Bluetooth or phone hybrid functionality.
