Frequently Asked Questions

Bluetooth inherently has some latency, but it's generally manageable for reference listening; it's not ideal for critical real-time monitoring or recording directly through it.
It's a standard 500 format, so it *should* be compatible with most racks, but always double-check the rack's specifications regarding power draw and compatibility.
This module is designed primarily for playback; it's not intended as an audio interface for recording or streaming audio into your DAW.
