Bluetooth - AudioArts Engineering Lightning Technical Manual

Bluetooth

Bluetooth module is located in the
console's meterbridge.

PAIR button on the
Master panel is a toggle
action function. When
the button is lit, the blue
backlight LED's on the meterbridge
below the timer display are also lit to
indicate the BT module is powered up.
Once powered up the BT module is in pair-
ing mode, and the blue and red LEDs on the
BT module will be lit. Those LEDs are visible
through cutout (shown on the right) in the me-
terbridge when meterbridge is open.
When in pairing mode, a scan of Bluetooth devices from a phone or other Bluetooth
enabled device should show the device named Lightning# where # is a unique number
assigned at the factory so that multiple consoles can be distinguished from each other.
When pairing is complete, audio from the phone or other device will be present at the BT
OUT connector. This audio can then be fed to any console input by connecting a patch
cable from BT OUT to the input.
When the BLUETOOTH PAIR button on the Master panel toggles off, the button's
LED goes out immediately. After the 20 seconds or so the blue LEDs on the meterbridge
will go out to indicate that BT module is powered down.
If the power is simply turned off to the console while BT is active, then the normal
clearing operation doesn't take place. In that case, the BT module, once activated, will
pair with any active device in its table.
Android phones seem to work well with this scenario. Not so much so for iPhones.
Androids keep the L
and in pairing mode, a tap on Android prompts to re-pair and then all is good. However,
the iPhone also keeps L
removed from the iPhone table manually and then re-scanned.
