Rane Commercial Black & Blue Rackmount Bluetooth Mixer and Amplifier

The Rane Commercial Black & Blue is a 1 RU Bluetooth mixer and amplifier designed to provide multisource mixing for system designers, installers, and technicians in restaurants, clubs, educational facilities, houses of worship, and conference rooms. Its 20W mono Class-D amplifier supports 70V, 100V, and 4-Ohm modes via a Euroblock output. Wirelessly stream audio from mobile devices and microphones via three Bluetooth antenna inputs, then choose to mix them together or monitor a single source. A non-Bluetooth device can be connected to the 3.5mm input jack.

A rear-panel USB Type-B port allows connection of a computer for recording and playback. Additionally, an XLR 3-pin line output can be routed to a subwoofer, audio recorder, or another amplifier. The built-in mixer offers multiple level controls and 2-band EQ for quick mix balancing. Front-panel LEDs deliver clear visual indication of signal presence and Bluetooth status.

The Black & Blue ships with an IEC power cable, a USB cable, a Euroblock plug, and three Bluetooth antennas.
