xIO Bluetooth

The xIO Bluetooth is a single gang Dante endpoint for COGNIO smart hardware, bringing wireless audio into a system over a single network connection.

Key Features:

  • Wireless Audio: Bluetooth 5.0 for extended range and stable connectivity, featuring configurable operating modes (Media only, Phone only, or Both), PIN-code security, and selectable single/multiple device pairing memory.
  • Network Audio Expansion: Ultra-low latency Dante audio transport packaged in a compact single-gang form factor.
  • User Interface Controls: Front-panel status indication with configurable LED blackout mode.
  • Architectural Design: Available in US or EU single-gang form factors compatible with standard Decora faceplates, available in black or white finishes.
  • Power over Ethernet (PoE): Operates on standard IEEE 802.3af PoE for simplified single-cable installation.
  • Centralized Management: Full configuration, programming, and management integrated within DesignOps software.

To push a site file to an xIO Bluetooth, the host computer running DesignOps, the xIO Bluetooth device, and the host COGNIO smart system (T10C, C10, or C20) must all reside on the same local network, as the COGNIO processor handles all xIO Bluetooth control operations. The device features an RJ-45 port supporting 100Base-T Ethernet to facilitate deployment.
