JK Audio’s new RemoteMix-3.5 reporter’s mixer for news and sport has Bluetooth and cabled interfaces, with three microphone inputs (one Mic/Line switchable) and three headphone outputs with individual level control, plus telephony interfaces, cabled for PSTN and PABX and Bluetooth for mobile phones. Also new is the RemoteMix-One, which offers the audio mixing capabilities of its BluePack BeltPack interview tool but with a cabled connection to the mobile phone instead of using Bluetooth. “This gives the advantage that full-bandwidth audio can be sent to and from the phone – something not supported in the current Bluetooth standard – making it an ideal audio interface for mobile phone codecs such as the Comrex ARC, Media-5 or Luci-Live,” explained Ian Prowse, director of its distributor, Vortex Communications. It has Mic and Aux/Tape input – both with level controls and peak indicators – plus headphone and stereo line outputs. For simpler applications, JK Audio’s BlueSet and BlueDriver and new Interloop Bluetooth audio interfaces provide wire-free connections to mixers and intercom systems. They pair with each other, with mobile phones, Bluetooth headsets or Bluetooth-enabled laptops. The JK Bluetooth range now has a new S-Series using CSR’s aptX low-latency high-quality audio codec for Bluetooth A2DP offering 10Hz – 22KHz frequency response and dynamic range >92dB. Housed in over-sized XLR connectors with built-in rechargeable batteries, “they offer an excellent combination of price and performance,” said Prowse. – David Foxwww.jkaudio.comwww.vtx.co.uk
