The Dante® 2CH Bluetooth Converter (Model: SoniX PBT2) is a compact, high-performance audio converter engineered to bridge consumer and professional wireless Bluetooth sources directly into IP-based digital audio networks.
Powered by the reliable Dante® Ultimo 2x2 platform, this unit converts two-channel Bluetooth audio into uncompressed Dante® digital audio streams, distributing low-latency audio across standard CAT networks. Designed with versatility in mind for both fixed architectural installations (conference rooms, hospitality, educational spaces) and live/rental sound reinforcement (DJ setups, temporary events, stage monitoring), it features dual power options via Power over Ethernet (PoE Class 0 IEEE802.3af) or local USB-C (5V/500mA).
Supporting advanced high-resolution codecs including aptX™, aptX™ HD, aptX™ Low Latency, and AAC, the adapter ensures high-fidelity wireless integration with maximum routing flexibility via Dante® Controller software.
