Inputs & Outputs

The professional microphone preamp and powerful headphone amplifier make sure the message gets through. A 3.5 mm stereo line input jack allows recordings to be mixed into the broadcast. The 3.5 mm stereo line output jack provides your full bandwidth microphone signal on the left channel and Bluetooth return audio on the right channel. This allows you to make a full bandwidth backup recording using your favorite recorder.

Live Monitoring

The stereo headphone output gives you a mix of the XLR microphone input, 3.5mm input, and Bluetooth audio. This powerful ½ watt stereo headphone amplifier will cut through any crowd noise.

HD Voice

BluePack features HD Voice technology, allowing 7 kHz Wide Band Speech phone calls when used with compatible phones on compatible networks, or when using wide band voice codec apps. Read our HD Voice primer for more details.

Audio for Video

BluePack, along with a professional video camera app, lets you transmit or record broadcast worthy interviews while placing the mic in the subject's hand for improved audio quality. Connect headphones or an IFB earpiece to monitor the mic signal, as well as return from the station or playback of the video. Alternatively, a boom operator can use BluePack to monitor the mic signal as the Bluetooth wireless audio gets transmitted to the phone or tablet.

*HD Voice: While standard phone calls have a narrow bandwidth of 300 Hz to 3.4 kHz, HD Voice calls offer 50 Hz to 7 kHz bandwidth. The additional 1.5 octaves on the low end gives voice a more natural sound, while the additional upper octave dramatically improves speech clarity and intelligibility.

*Wireless HD Calls: To take advantage of this extended bandwidth, both phones on the call must support HD Voice, and both phones must be on the same carrier, in coverage areas that support HD Voice.
