RU-BTLA - Overview

Delivers seamless wireless Bluetooth connectivity with versatile outputs!

The RDL RU-BTLA is a Bluetooth audio receiver compatible with RDL® Format-A twisted-pair receivers and includes balanced line-level outputs on XLR jacks and unbalanced line-level outputs on RCA jacks. When paired with compatible Bluetooth-enabled devices, the module receives stereo audio from the Bluetooth source. The stereo signal is sent through two Format-A pairs to any RDL Format-A receiver. A stereo/mono switch set by the installer permits summed mono audio to be sent over one switch-selected pair to the Format-A receiver. In stereo mode, Bluetooth audio is also available via balanced line-level stereo outputs on the rear-panel XLRs or via unbalanced RCA outputs. In mono mode, the summed mono audio is sent to both XLRs and both RCAs.

Connected
The RU-BTLA delivers a complete set of audio outputs, including balanced XLR, unbalanced RCA and Format-A twisted pair RJ45 jacks. The line outputs and the Format-A outputs may be independently configured to provide either mono or stereo outputs.

Future Proof
The RU-BTLA supports both Bluetooth Classic as well as Bluetooth LE Audio, allowing it to deliver high quality audio and extended range (up to 328ft/100m from a Class 1 device), as well as ensuring support for the widest range of current and future user devices.

Customizable
The RU-BTLA was designed to support the unique requirements of commercial installations, including the ability to enable/disable PIN pairing, define the pairing PIN and customize the broadcast name of each RU-BTLA.

Flexible Installation Options
Out of the box the RU-BTLA supports a variety of installation options. Simply place it on a surface on its nonslip rubber feet, secure it using the integrated mounting plate, or select from a wide range of optional RDL trays and brackets for rack installations.

Optional Mounting Accessories:
• RU-BR1 Mounting Bracket
• RU-HRA1 10.4" Rack Mount
• RU-RA3R Rack adapter
• RU-SMA1 RACK-UP Mounting Plate
• UC-1R RACK-UP Enclosure
• UC-2R Double Wide RACK-UP Enclosure
• WDG1R Table Top "Wedge" Chassis
• RC-1UR 19" Universal Rack Chassis
• DRA-35R RACK-UP DIN Rail Adapter

The integrated antenna delivers industry-leading extended range and will support most installation scenarios. In a situation where the AV rack is completely blocked off and inaccessible, the RU-BTLA has mounting holes that allow it to be mounted anywhere on a wall or ceiling, with a balanced audio or Format-A line run back to the rack. A Decora style remote pairing button is available to allow users to initiate pairing on the RU-BTLA from any location.

Please Note: Power Supply is not included! See the recommended PS-24AS.
