The Switchcraft 318BT is a small in-line wireless audio receiver that makes it quick and simple to connect audio from mobile devices to your audio gear without physical cables.

It utilizes Bluetooth 4.0 technology to stream audio from any Bluetooth-enabled device straight to your mixer or audio console with low latency and up to a distance of 100'.

The unit utilizes 48V phantom power, but if your device/mixer doesn't have phantom power, the 318BT can be powered from external power via the micro-USB port. The 16-bit DAC delivers a high-quality audio signal with its output summed to mono (balanced).

Made in the USA and featuring a durable anodized-aluminum enclosure with a Switchcraft XLR connector, the 318BT is built to withstand the rigors of commercial and residential environments.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this device allow two Bluetooth connections at the same time? Such as iPod and phone?

A: The Blackstar Tone:Link is only able to link with a single device at a time.

Q: 2. Is there a way to "reset" the unit so that previously paired devices don't connect automatically?

A: No, there is no way to reset the Aluratek AISM01F Bluetooth Audio Receiver BH #ALAISM01F. You would need to make sure that either those devices are not powered on when you turn on the receiver or depending on the device, you could go into it's bluetooth settings and disconnect/unpair it from that device or just turn off bluetooth.

Q: 3. How many paired devices does it remember?

A: The Galaxy Audio JIB/BT8R Bluetooth Audio Receiver would not remember any paired devices. If you are using a source with a Bluetooth transmitter built in, like a smartphone or tablet, it will have the ability to remember the Galaxy Audio JIB/BT8R Bluetooth Audio Receiver so that you can select it and pair it.

Q: 4. Can you plug it into a bass amp and pair Bluetooth headphones to it to hear the amp?

A: The Blackstar Tone:Link Bluetooth Audio Receiver is a Bluetooth receiver, not a transmitter. It can receive audio from Bluetooth devices like phones and tablets, but it cannot send audio out to Bluetooth headphones or speakers.

Q: 5. Can I put a blackstar tone:link on a guitar to pair to an echo?

A: This unit is a Bluetooth Receiver. It is designed to connect to a line input on an amplifier to allow you to stream music from a bluetooth enabled audio device to the amp. This unit will not work connected to a guitar.

Q: 6. Can I pair two of these (one on each speaker) to one transmitting signal?

A: NoJust like any other Bluetooth productCan only match one at a time

Q: 7. Does it make any sound when pairing?

A: No, unfortunately the Aluratek AISM01F Bluetooth Audio Receiver would use it's LED to notify if pairing or connected.

Q: 8. can i always leave it on and it will connect automatically when i get to my car if i leave phone Bluetooth on ?

A: The Aluratek AISM01F Bluetooth Audio Receiver (B&H # ALAISM01F) only charges via the included USB cable, not the 3.5mm cable that would be plugged into a car. This receiver has an estimated battery life of 5 hours, so it would not be advisable to leave it on at all times.

Q: 9. Why wouldn't the device keep charging while being plugged into the PA loudspeakers, i.e., QSC for example?

A: The Alto Professional Bluetooth Total MKII Battery-Powered Bluetooth Receiver can be used while it is charging.

Q: 10. How far for range?

A: Under typical conditions, about 30'.

I love the functionality that this Polsen XBR-2 brings to my old PA speaker. It can't be simpler to set up, plug it in, turn the power on, and it shows up on my laptop as an available device. Once you connect the audio starts streaming, it's wonderful. No more long cord runs or having to plug my iPad in with an aux cord. I like that you can connect two of them to get a stereo mix if needed. The internal battery has been pretty solid as well. So far I've had it running continuously for 6+ hours with no issues. I'm a big fan of this device. [I have received this item in exchange for my honest review] 5

Works great in the car or the home stereo. Beats the heck out of buying a whole speaker system if all you want is to use it Bluetooth. Simply to operate. 5
