UNDERSTANDING THE BLUETOOTH INPUT
There is still a popular misconception that Bluetooth is detrimental to the
audio quality. Although this has been true in the past, it is no longer the case.
Bluetooth is just a “wireless serial port” and, as so, has no ability to interact
with your sound quality. However, in order to fit the heavy data traffic that
digital audio needs, digital audio compression is applied. This is the real
source for audio degradation in Bluetooth connections.
This being said, modern Bluetooth technology allows for very high quality
codecs taking care of the audio data and, which is more important, pre coded
data (such as that in iTunes) is kept unmolested.
NO MORE MINI JACKS
Employing last generation audio specific Bluetooth technology, the best
Codecs your devices can support and a state of the Art, Burr Brown based
analog signal path, it solves the already classic, irritating problem of
connecting your iOS or Android device to your Studio setup.
To this day this has been solved using mini jack to XLRs adaptor cables, but
the limitations of mobile devices’ analog audio paths have become clearly
apparent.
Listening to references on the iTunes Store, recordings sent by email, Spotify,
You Tube, you name it. You do it every day, all the time. Nevertheless
integration has been non convenient to say the least, until now.
SOUND QUALITY OVER BLUETOOTH
The RAM System 2000 Bluetooth device automatically recognizes your
device´s best Codec option and uses it for streaming.
Apple´s iTunes Store and You Tube use AAC* as native so streaming from an
iPhone or iPad will result in a lossless transmission, much better than an
analog wired connection!!
