Introduction

DN-300BR is a Bluetooth

add wireless stereo Bluetooth audio reception to any professional audio system. Once you
pair your Bluetooth device to DN-300BR, you can send your device’s audio signal out DN­300BR’s balanced XLR or unbalanced RCA outputs to your mixer, loudspeakers, or
amplification system.

Please see this guide’s Setup chapter to learn how to integrate DN-300BR with your audio
system, and then refer to the Operation chapter to start using DN-300BR.

1. Power Button: Press this button to turn the unit on or off. Make sure the AC In is properly
connected to a power outlet.

2. BNC Antenna Terminal: Connect the included removable Bluetooth antenna to this BNC
connector. The antenna receives and transmits the Bluetooth signal from a paired Bluetooth
device. DN-300BR has a range of up to 100 feet (33 meters).

Note: Make sure to attach only one antenna to either the front panel or rear panel Terminal at a
time. Using two antennae will negatively affect the performance of the Bluetooth receiver.

3. Status Light: This LED indicates the DN-300BR’s Bluetooth pairing status:

• Flashing slowly (approximately twice every 3 seconds): DN-300BR is not paired to a
Bluetooth device. DN-300BR will automatically try to pair with a previously paired Bluetooth
device within range, if any.

• Flashing quickly (approximately twice per second): DN-300BR can be paired to any
available Bluetooth device.

• Solidly lit: DN-300BR is paired to a Bluetooth device.

See Operation to learn how to pair/unpair a Bluetooth device to/from DN-300BR.

4. Pair Button: Press this button briefly to make DN-300BR available for pairing to a nearby
Bluetooth device. Press and hold this button for 3 seconds to break any previous Bluetooth
connections and remove the last paired device from the memory of the Bluetooth module. See

Operation for more information.

5. Level Knob: Turn this knob to adjust the output volume level (sent to the balanced and
unbalanced outputs).

2. Remote Pairing Connector: Use the included 2-pin Euroblock connector to add a remote
pairing button (not included) to this connector.

3. Outputs (Balanced XLR): These outputs send the audio from a paired Bluetooth device. Use
XLR cables to connect these outputs to your loudspeakers, mixer, etc. See Setup for more
information.

4. Outputs (Unbalanced RCA): These outputs send the audio from a paired Bluetooth device. Use
standard RCA cables to connect these outputs to loudspeakers, mixer, etc. See Setup for more
information.

5. AC Input: Use the included power cable to connect this input to a power outlet. See Setup for
more information.

6. Fuse: If the fuse blows, replace it with a fuse of the same type. Using a fuse with an incorrect
rating can damage the unit and/or fuse.

Setup

Items not listed under Introduction > Box Contents are sold separately.

1. Use either XLR cables or RCA cables to connect the DN-300BR’s outputs (balanced or
unbalanced) to your loudspeakers, mixer, amplifier, or other device that accepts line-level
inputs (this device must be powered off).

Important: For stereo operation, make sure all left (L) and right (R) outputs are connected
to left and right inputs, respectively.

2. Use the included power cable to connect DN-300BR’s AC input to your power source.
Press the power button to turn on DN-300BR.

Important: Do not use DN-300BR near a microwave oven, which can interfere with the
reception.

3. If you are using a mixer, make sure all of its connections are secure, and power it on.

4. Power on your loudspeakers last.

Operation

You can play audio from an audio device that sends its signal over a Bluetooth connection (e.g.,
smartphones, tablet computers, etc.). DN-300BR uses Bluetooth CSR 4.0 and has a range of up to
100 feet (33 meters).

Once you “pair” your Bluetooth device with DN-300BR, they are “connected” wirelessly. You can
play audio on your Bluetooth device, and it will be sent out of DN-300BR’s outputs (balanced and
unbalanced).

Important:

• Do not connect antennae to both the front panel and rear panel BNC Antenna Terminals. Using
two antennae will negatively affect the performance of the Bluetooth receiver.

• DN-300BR will not receive audio from a phone call. While using it, we recommend disabling your
cellular connection, if possible.

• Do not use DN-300BR near a microwave oven, which can interfere with the reception.

• While DN-300BR is paired with a Bluetooth device, other Bluetooth devices cannot pair to it. You

must unpair (“disconnect”) the current Bluetooth device from DN-300BR to make it available to
others.

To pair your Bluetooth device to DN-300BR:

1. If DN-300BR is off, use the included power cable to connect its AC input to your power source.
Press the power button to power on DN-300BR. The Status Light will flash slowly.

2. Make sure your desired Bluetooth device has its Bluetooth connectivity on and is within range.
DN-300BR will automatically try to pair with a previously paired Bluetooth device within range, if
any. If you are using that Bluetooth device again, you can start playing audio immediately.

If you want to use a different Bluetooth device, continue to Step 3.

3. Briefly press DN-300BR’s Pair button. The Status Light will start flashing quickly.

4. On your Bluetooth device, enter its Bluetooth settings menu, and select DN-300BR. When DN­300BR successfully pairs to a Bluetooth device, the Status Light will stop flashing and remain
lit.

Note: Some older Bluetooth devices may require you to enter a PIN. If this is the case, enter
0000 as the PIN.

If no device pairs within 60 seconds, DN-300BR will exit pairing mode and the Status Light will
flash slowly. To re-enter pairing mode, briefly press DN-300BR's Pair button.

5. On your Bluetooth device, start playing audio.
To adjust your volume level, we recommend setting the volume control of each of your devices

in the following order:

i. your Bluetooth device

ii. DN-300BR, using its Level Knob
iii. your mixer, if any (its input channel level[s], then its main output level)
iv. your loudspeakers

Set each volume level as high as possible without creating distortion or any “clipping” of the
sound.

Important: DN-300BR will not receive audio from a phone call. While using it, we recommend
disabling your cellular connection, if possible.

To unpair your Bluetooth device from DN-300BR, do one of the following:

• Enter your Bluetooth device’s Bluetooth settings menu, and disconnect from DN-300BR.

• Press and hold DN-300BR’s Pair button for 3 seconds, and then release it. DN-300BR will

unpair from your Bluetooth device, remove it from the memory of the Bluetooth module, and be
available to pair to another device.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter a problem, try doing these things first:

• Make sure all cables and other connected devices are properly and securely connected.

• Make sure you are using DN-300BR as described in this user guide.

• Make sure your other devices or media are working properly.

• If you believe DN-300BR is not working properly, check the following table for your

problem and solution.

Problem: Solution: Please see:

Power does not turn on.

DN-300BR does not
produce any sound, or
the sound is distorted.

Audio from my Bluetooth
device does not play
through DN-300BR.

Pairing my Bluetooth
device to DN-300BR
requires a PIN.

Make sure DN-300BR’s AC input is properly
connected to a power outlet using the
included power cable.

Make sure all cable and device connections
are secure and correct.

Make sure none of the cables are damaged.
Make sure the settings on your Bluetooth

device, loudspeaker, mixer, etc. are correct.

Make sure you have properly paired your
Bluetooth device.

Improve the Bluetooth signal reception by
moving your Bluetooth device closer to DN­300BR. Also, remove obstacles (walls,
furniture, etc.) so there is a clear line of sight
between your Bluetooth device and DN­300BR.

Enter 0000 as the PIN. (Some older Bluetooth
devices may require you to enter a PIN.)
