BALANCED OUTPUT
- XLR output sockets. These outputs carry the signal from a paired BT device. Use XLR cables to connect these outputs to your loudspeakers, mixer, etc.
UNBALANCED OUTPUT
- 6.3mm output jacks. These outputs carry the audio from a paired BT device. Use standard 6.3mm cables to connect these outputs to your loudspeakers, mixer, etc.

OPERATION

Before transmission between your BT device and the PDX40 is possible, both devices must be coupled. This process is called “pairing”. The PDX40 is served as a receiver, to receive the music stream to be carried over. Once you “pair” your BT device with the PDX40, they are “connected” wirelessly. You can play audio on your BT device, the signal will be carried over to the PDX40 outputs (balanced and unbalanced).

NOTE: The PDX40 will not receive audio from a phone call. Recommended is to disable your cellular connection when using.

When a pairing has been successful, other BT devices cannot pair. To be able to pair another device, unpair (“disconnect”) the currently paired BT device.
If you have already coupled to a BT device before, this connection will be restored automatically when both devices are in range and BT operation has been selected. “Pairing” does not have to be repeated. This function may need to be activated within your BT devices’ settings menu, however.

Press the PAIR button to make a connection possible.
Enter the BT settings menu on your BT streaming device, select PDX40 and initiate the pairing.

NOTE: If a PIN code is required, enter “0000”.

When paired, press PAIR to unpair.

SETUP

Use either XLR- (option #1) or 6.35mm (option #2) cables to connect the outputs (balanced or unbalanced) to your loudspeakers, mixer, amplifier, or another device that accepts line-level inputs (make sure that this devices’ power is shut off).

NOTE: For stereo operation, make sure left (L) and right (R) outputs are connected to the corresponding left and right inputs.
