Zoom BTA-1 Bluetooth Adapter for Compatible Zoom Devices

The Zoom BTA-1 is a compact Bluetooth adapter made for adding wireless control and synchronization features to compatible Zoom recording, mixing, video, and effects products. It gives creators a practical way to operate supported equipment from a mobile device instead of remaining directly beside the hardware. This is useful for field recording, video production, live mixing, and pedal editing workflows where convenient remote access matters.

With supported Zoom control apps, the BTA-1 can enable remote recording activation, level monitoring, level control, and settings adjustments. It is designed for users who need to position a recorder away from the operator, such as on a boom, camera rig, stage, or location-recording setup. Compatibility and available controls depend on the connected Zoom product and its corresponding app.

For compatible recorders, the BTA-1 can also support wireless timecode workflows. It allows timecode to be written directly to recorded audio files, helping keep audio and video media aligned during post-production. Zoom specifies current compatibility with the Atomos wireless timecode system for this function.

Musicians can use the BTA-1 with supported Zoom guitar and bass processors through the Handy Guitar Lab app. This creates a wireless connection between a compatible iPhone or iPad and the pedal for app-based editing. It is a convenient option for players who want to manage compatible processor settings without a tethered device connection.

In a LiveTrak setup, the BTA-1 supports iPad-based wireless mixer control on compatible models. Additional iPads can connect through Wi-Fi for individual monitor-control workflows. The adapter is an accessory for compatible Zoom hardware and is not a standalone recorder, mixer, or audio interface.

Design & Installation

The BTA-1 uses a small black plug-in adapter format designed to fit compatible Zoom products without adding significant bulk to a portable recording or performance rig. Its Bluetooth-based design keeps the host product accessible while adding wireless control capability. The adapter is powered through the compatible host device connection.

Install the BTA-1 only in a Zoom product listed as compatible, then use the appropriate Zoom control app or supported timecode workflow for that device. For best wireless communication, use it within the specified unobstructed indoor range of up to 10 meters. Available app platforms, controls, and timecode functions vary by Zoom model.
