Notes on wireless transmission
This device utilizes frequencies that are not harmonized within the European
Union (EU) and therefore may only be used in certain EU member states. In all
European countries, the frequencies used for the transmission of audio signals
are strictly regulated. Before you start, make sure the frequencies are
allowed in the respective country and check whether the operation must be
reported to the appropriate authority.

Incorrect handling of lithium batteries can result in injury
- In the event of a short circuit, overheating or mechanical damage, lithium batteries can cause severe injuries.
- When handled correctly and appropriately lithium batteries pose no risk.
- Store lithium batteries in a cool, dry place, ideally in the original packaging.
- Store lithium batteries away from heat sources (e.g. radiators or sunlight). Lithium batteries are hermetically sealed. Never attempt to open a lithium battery.

Operating elements
Front panel
Rear panel
- USB Adjusts the volume of the signal transmitted via USB.
- BT Adjusts the volume of the signal transmitted via Bluetooth®.
- STATUS This LED shows the pairing status of the BT connection:
- If the LED changes between green and red, the device is ready for pairing
- If the LED flashes green slowly, the device is coupled via BT
- CHARGE This LED lights up red during charging and green when the device is fully charged.
- ANT Connect the included Bluetooth® antenna here to communicate with the paired device.
- USB Connection for transmitting signals and for charging the device.
- STEREO Toggles the incoming sum signal from BT and USB between stereo and mono.
- This 3.5 mm jack output provides the sum signal from BT and USB.
- RESET Press this button to unpair the device so that the device can be paired again.
- BT POWER Turns on the Bluetooth® wireless connection.
- LEFT OUT Balanced XLR output for connecting active monitors, power amplifiers or recording devices. The USB or BT signal is present here. With simultaneous transmission via both paths, the mono-summed signal (STEREO switch not in STEREO position) or the left stereo signal (STEREO switch in STEREO position) is present here.
- GROUND / LIFT This switch separates signal and housing ground potential (LIFT) or connects both (GROUND). A separation of these ground potentials can avoid hum noise caused by ground loops.
- RIGHT OUT Balanced XLR output for connecting active monitors, power amplifiers or recording devices. The USB or BT signal is present here. With simultaneous transmission via both paths, the mono-summed signal (STEREO switch not in STEREO position) or the right stereo signal (STEREO switch in STEREO position) is present here.
Using the product
- Before using the device, you must have fully charged it using a suitable USB voltage source that you connect to the USB port. The CHARGE LED lights up red during charging and green when the device is fully charged.
- For BT operation, screw the enclosed BT antenna to the ANT connection and press BT POWER. Switch on the device to be paired and look for Sirus DI USB/BT in its pairing menu. After pairing, the LED slowly flashes green.
- For USB operation, connect the USB signal source (computer or similar) to the USB port using a suitable USB C cable.
- Simultaneous USB and BT operation is possible.
- Connect active monitors, power amplifiers or recording devices to the balanced XLR output sockets. Connect headphones with a 3.5 mm jack plug to the socket.
- Start the transmission at the signal source(s). Use the VOLUME controls to adjust the desired volume for the respective transmission path.
