New Bluetooth products include the BlueDriver™ that uses Bluetooth Wireless Technology to send and receive audio from your professional audio equipment. Looking like an extended XLR connector, the BlueDriver-F3™ plugs directly into the mic level output of an audio device whilst the BlueDriver-M3™ plugs directly into the mic level input to provide wire-free connectivity. It is battery powered with mains adapter included. The new BlueSet™ series of intercom headset adapters plugs directly into most Party-Line (PL) intercom belt packs, replacing the wired headset.
