COMPANY TIMELINE
PT&D introduced the DCC-1448 MEMS/PDM interface in 2012, followed quickly by the BQC-4148, a ruggedized version for the production line. Engineers were soon asking for other connectivity options, and Portland Tool has continued to deliver with the BTC-4148 and BQC-4148 for Bluetooth and the PIO-9216 for I2S and other serial audio.
In 2014, Portland Tool & Die signed an exclusive worldwide distribution deal with Listen, Inc., providers of the industry standard SoundCheck audio test software.
