Symetrix Introduces xIO Dante-Enabled Bluetooth Endpoint

Symetrix is introducing the xIO Bluetooth; the first Dante-enabled Bluetooth endpoint available in a single gang form factor.

"Using a modern, full-featured Bluetooth 5.0 chipset allows the xIO Bluetooth to offer extended range, a stable connection, and world-class audio quality", according to Symetrix. Available in both US and EU form factors, the xIO Bluetooth has a clean design and is compatible with standard single gang US wall boxes with Decora faceplates, as well as EU/UK standard wall boxes.

IP control and PoE power simplify installation by allowing a single cable connection from the xIO Bluetooth to a PoE enabled network switch. The xIO Bluetooth may be configured to allow media-only connectivity, phone bridge connectivity, or both. All aspects of xIO Bluetooth control can be controlled using Symetrix remotes, SymVue panels, or third-party control systems.

The xIO Bluetooth is a fully integrated member of the Symetrix xIO family of Dante endpoints allowing full control and configuration of the device, including Dante routing, from within Symetrix Composer software. All aspects of the xIO Bluetooth are fully configurable including the Bluetooth friendly device name, Dante channel names, connect/reconnect functionality, and security.

The xIO Bluetooth will begin shipping in Q3.
