Recommendations

For optimal transmission stability, place the transmitter in a central, elevated location and avoid large obstacles between the transmitter and headphones. Use the digital input for the best audio clarity and switch to Bass Boost or surround modes depending on whether you prioritise stronger low frequencies or a wider soundstage.
