The stainless steel RDL DS-BT1A is a wall-mounted Bluetooth audio Format-A interface offering a sleek solution for integrating Bluetooth audio sources into installed sound systems in fitness facilities, retail stores, restaurants, and more. Since it requires no special software to configure and boasts 1-button pairing with LED indication, the DS-BT1A is simple and quick to set up.

Equipped with two RJ45 ports, the DS-BT1A can either send received Bluetooth audio in mono or stereo directly to an RDL Format-A receiver (available separately) or daisy-chain in mono with two other D-Series BT1A modules (available separately) to a single Format-A receiver.

The DS-BT1A is remotely powered through twisted pair cable and features signal and power pair pass-through on RJ45 jacks, eliminating the need for individual external power sources.

Q: 1. I am concerned that one day in the future, Tascam will stop updating the Driver/app you need to get all 16 inputs into your DAW. If that happens, I guess you just get the 1st 8 mic inputs, which would work for me but who wouldn't like to have all the features work all the time?

Q: 9. Sitting at a computer for prolong periods can cause spinal discomfort from degenerative disc disease. With that said, in simultaneously recording 16 channels interfacing, a term I know little about, with a software platform means foregoing standalone units with built-in mixing that I would find physically easier. I am just learning of sound recording have last worked with a Teac 4-track recorder, so I am admittedly intimidated technically overwhelmed by this approach. However, since someone bestowed upon me an iPad (that I have little idea of what it does), interfacing seems the most inexpensive way to approach the aforementioned goal of learning to simultaneously record a sizable number of tracks. As a revived joy of music has given me brighter days in anticipation of helping others enjoy, too, what resources exist to begin to grasp merely the basic concept of interfacing, which I presume means using an editing software. I sincerely am asking pointing me toward materials availability on this subject. Our wonderful B&H resource (that is to say, staff) has put together a collection of books on various audio and other topics. Any suggestions on where to start, please? Respectfully, Jeff F.
