Bluetooth

[TomGuitar]

Any chance Neural will create the ability to connect wireless headphones directly to the QC in the near future?

It would be nice but unfortunately there hasn’t been any hints as of current that they plan to utilize the BT on the QC most likely due to the inherit latency with BT audio.

Bluetooth audio codecs don’t have the same signal fidelity as a wired connection, and it may be a moot point anyway because as @MP_Mod mentioned, the latency induced would make playing guitar much more difficult.

That said, bluetooth is currently a highly requested feature. May be useful for other things than audio, like MIDI or connecting to the Cortex Cloud app.

Activation of bluetooth on QC

In one of the first videos, Doug said that the Wi-Fi module in the device also supports bluetooth, and that they can activate it if necessary. And I stumbled upon an awesome reason to do this: [XSonic Airstep - First Look] Great midi controller: good solid body, 2 expression pedals, bluetooth, fantastic flexibility, 300 hours of battery life. It will be very cool to connect this device without wires or additional receiver.

Bluetooth for connecting headphones would be useless as the latency would be way too high. However, bluetooth for streaming backing tracks would be amazing.
