Blue POD

System Overview

The BluePOD Conference Mate is a Bluetooth® audio conference system designed to simplify making conference calls in your 

meeting rooms with your mobile phone, laptop or other Bluetooth device. With BluePOD system, making a conference call is as 

simple as tapping the Bluetooth connect button on your phone or laptop; no special software is needed. Adjusting the volume, 

muting and connecting is all done on your phone, just like you do it now. 

The BluePOD Conference Mate allows you send professional grade audio to the speakers and microphones you want to use. 

The system is designed for easy integration into larger and/or existing audio system projects. It features an integrated mixer with 

DSP functions, including Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC). The mixer includes four inputs (two mic/two line), two line outputs 

and two 25-watt amplifiers. 

Microphones, speakers and other accessories are connected to the back of 

BluePOD Controller.

  The BluePOD Controller 

can be stored in a convenient, out of the way location, whether that is in an entertainment system or elsewhere inside the 

conference room.

An excellent Bluetooth connection is made possible with the

 

Bluetooth Wireless Access Point (B-WAP). 

The B-WAP is a 

separate device from the BluePOD Controller and functions as a transceiver. The B-WAP is installed on the ceiling or convenient 

location in the conference room, just like any other wireless access point. The B-WAP broadcasts a strong Bluetooth signal 

where conference attendees are sitting, eliminating any signal interference between the conference area and the BluePOD 

Controller. The B-WAP is connected to the BluePOD Controller via a CAT5 or CAT6 cable. 

Note: A CAT6 cable is recommended whenever possible�
