- AV receiver, surround processor, or 2-channel pre-amp with a subwoofer pre-out, or L/R line level pre-out
General Placement and Set-up Tips
- Place the subwoofer, powered speakers or amplifier at its intended location
- Try to maintain line-of-sight (no walls or solid barriers) between the transmitter and receiver for best results.
- Receiver should be within 65 feet of transmitter for best results
- Avoid placing the transmitter next to devices that could create signal interference, such as mobile phones, baby monitors, 2.4 GHz wireless phones and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi routers.
Connecting the Wireless Transmitter to an AV processor
- Connect the 3.5 mm to single RCA adapter cable to the subwoofer pre-out or LFE channel of the AV processor and to the input on the wireless transmitter.
- Connect the USB A to Micro B cable to the wireless transmitter and the 5 VDC power supply.
- Connect the 5 VDC power supply to a 100V~240V AC outlet.
Connecting the Wireless Transmitter to a 2-channel stereo pre-amp
- Connect the 3.5 mm to dual RCA adapter cable to the L/R line level pre-outs of the
- channel stereo pre-amp and to the input on the wireless transmitter.
- Connect the USB A to Micro B cable to the wireless transmitter and the 5 VDC power supply.
- Connect the 5 VDC power supply to a 100V~240V AC outlet.
Connecting the Wireless Receiver to your Subwoofer
- For AV processor applications, connect the 3.5 mm to single RCA adapter cable to the LFE input and the input on the wireless receiver.
- For 2-channel stereo pre-amp applications connect the 3.5 mm to dual RCA adapter cable to both the L and R subwoofer inputs and to the input on the wireless receiver.
- Connect the USB A to Micro B cable to the wireless receiver and the 5 VDC power supply.
- Connect the 5 VDC power supply to a 100V~240V AC outlet.
Connecting the Wireless Receiver to your Powered Speakers
- For AV processor applications, connect the 3.5 mm to single RCA adapter cable to the LFE input and the input on the wireless receiver.
- For 2-channel stereo pre-amp applications connect the 3.5 mm to dual RCA adapter cable to both the L and R powered speaker inputs and to the input on the wireless receiver.
- Connect the USB A to Micro B cable to the wireless receiver and the 5 VDC power supply.
- Connect the 5 VDC power supply to a 100V~240V AC outlet.
Pairing the Transmitter and Receiver
- The transmitter and receiver are synched at the time of manufacture and will pair automatically when connected and powered on.\
- Successful pairing will be indicated by a steady blue light on the transmitter and receiver.
- Press and hold the small button on one unit (it doesn’t matter which one you select) until the blue light starts blinking.
- Immediately walk over to the other unit and press/hold the small button until the blue light starts blinking.
- Both will blink a few times then turn solid blue when they are successfully paired.
FAQs and Troubleshooting
Does my AV processor correct for the latency (time delay) of the wireless
unit?
Yes, this will be reflected in a longer than normal subwoofer distance, as
shown under the set-up section of the AV processor. An additional 25-28 feet
(beyond the actual subwoofer distance) is normal.
I keep hearing interference artifacts or experiencing signal drop-outs –
how can I correct for this?
Always try to keep a line-of-sight between the transmitter and receiver units
with no hard barriers or walls between them.
Avoid placing other 2.4 GHz devices near the units like wireless phones,
mobile phones, Wi-Fi routers, baby monitors, etc.
