For integrators, it’s important that their manufacturing partners listen – not just to them but to their customers. The new OWI MC4-BT 4-channel mixer with Bluetooth is a good example because the manufacturer listened to concerns that end users such as teachers and nurses need to be able to more easily adjust volume.
[related] The audio manufacturer says it learned about demand for an easy way for personnel such as teachers and nurses to walk up and turn it down or off quickly and easily without training or a need for a cheat sheet or manual.
So the new MC4-BT is a simple 4-channel mixer with Bluetooth on the channel 4 slider where it can be turned up and sometimes, more importantly, turned down or off with the swipe of a finger.
The mixer has several other benefits like a mic level channel and the ability to plug in a local device. It can even plug in a digital optical input for some of the new video display equipment that no longer provide an analog audio connector.
All of the MC4 products fit into a 2-gang wall box and connect with OWI’s AMP-HD amplified speaker series via a Cat 5 cable for both signal and power making installation with OWI speakers faster and easier.
The MC4 series can be used with any amplifiers and speakers as well. The new MC4-BT and MC4-D come with custom labels to fit integrators’ particular jobs.
