Description
Overview
The AirTurn QUAD 500 is a professional-grade, four-pedal wireless controller designed for musicians, presenters, and content creators who require seamless, hands-free control over their digital environment. An evolved successor to the QUAD 200, this version integrates Bluetooth 5 technology to deliver increased power, faster response times, and an industry-leading operating range of over 200 feet.
Built for the rigors of live performance, the QUAD 500 utilizes reed switch technology housed within a virtually indestructible molded polymer exterior. This non-mechanical design ensures the pedals outlast traditional switches while remaining completely silent, providing a tactile feel underfoot without audible clicks that could interfere with recordings or quiet performances.
Key Details
- Advanced Connectivity: Bluetooth 5 ensures a stable, high-speed connection with a massive 200+ foot operating range.
- Extreme Battery Life: The integrated rechargeable battery provides over 200 hours of use on a single charge, featuring automatic power-off when the host device is disconnected.
- Silent-Tactile Operation: Non-mechanical switches provide a gentle, silent action that is ideal for professional stage and studio environments.
- Deep Customization: Seven built-in modes store switch commands, with further customization available via the free AirTurn Manager for macros, mouse clicks, and MIDI.
- Flexible Pairing: Supports “Open Pairing” for quick connections or “Closed Pairing” to lock the device to a single host and prevent unintended interference.
- Scalable Setup: Ability to connect up to eight AirTurn devices simultaneously for expanded control options.
