With phantom power - ideal

If your sound card does not have phantom power, select a different device. This one is perfect for us, we will buy the same again.

Pros
  • availability
Cons
  • weak

Great product for receivers and amps

Terrible selection but everything else about it is great! This amazing technology should be in every tool box, phantom power is required to use the amp.

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Unsure

Not having a wired connection is great!

I used it at a worship band rehearsal, the worship leader was able to connect to his laptop and listen to the new songs. Bluetooth connection was easy and range was good. The sound quality was good too and I liked NO WIRES! This unit has earned a spot in my gig bag.

Pros
  • confident
Cons
  • boring packaging

Excellent way to stream audio to your speaker system

This item is great for streaming audio from your phone to a non-Bluetooth mixer. I experienced a lot of hum when using phantom power for the device, but using an external power supply solved the problem. I am happy with the purchase. It's more expensive than some of the other models, but it's got a solid aluminum body and I like the fact that it sums the left and right channels, while some other models are mono only.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Functionality

Failed on first try

I followed the instructions but the blinking red light never reached the pairing phase. To be honest, I haven't called tech support yet. I'm going to get a phantom powered single line unit to see if I can use it to connect to my old church soundbar. Please don't use my experience to limit your purchase, I use an old system for small spaces that dates back a long time. Still looking forward to adding Bluetooth technology to our little country church.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Fix

Good workmanship but disappointing sound quality.

Charging and phantom functions are great. The build quality is excellent. The range isn't the best. The sound quality is disappointing. It sounded like a very low sample rate. Several devices were tested; iPad, Android devices and PC. The same devices used for daily broadcasting to other Bluetooth devices with excellent results.

Pros
  • Quality workmanship
Cons
  • Something's wrong

I expected better sound quality.

This product connects and works great but I was definitely expecting better sound quality as Switch Craft says. My JBL portable speaker definitely emits a fuller sound quality than this thing. I'm running an Allen and Heath console on 96K through a VRX system. Straight wire sounds expected, thing sounds thin and weak. Pretty upset about that.

Pros
  • Fits many
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Next version requires firmware and hardware improvements

As the only phantom powered XLR Bluetooth device that sums stereo audio into a single mixer channel, I'm glad this Switchcraft device is behind it. However, it has two ergonomic problems that are related. Good things first. This block is durable to withstand the production environment. This is due to Bluetooth range limitations and I find it necessary to use a short cable so the receiver gets the best reception, positioned higher and away from the usual clutter behind the audio console. The…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Factor Set
