Ambient Recording ACN-BT Beetle - Bluetooth Dongle ACN-Equipped Lockit Devices

The ACN-BT Beetle from Ambient Recording is a Bluetooth dongle that adds versatility to ACN-equipped Lockit devices and the Sound Devices 788T. When used with a Lockit device (ACL 204, ACN-TL, ACN-LS, ACN-ML), the Beetle enables wireless connectivity between the ACN and iOS devices. The ACN Lockit collects and buffers time critical metadata with highly accurate timestamp, while the ACN-BT module transmits this non-time critically to the LockitScript app.

The ACN-BT Beetle has a Binder connector, which enables use of different cables for connection to other devices. It has Bluetooth 4.0, or low energy (LE), which works immediately with all recent iOS devices consuming less energy while maintaining the bandwidth and is compatible with older Bluetooth devices. Thanks to the external antenna, range is comparable with Wi-Fi while more robust. For the Ambient Beetle no additional battery or configuration is needed.
