Cordless transmission

The IR transmitter transmits the stereo audio

signal from your audio or video source to

your IR headphone without wires.

Wide transmission range

Your IR headphone can receive signals up

to a maximum of 7 meters away.The

headphone however needs to be within the

line of sight of the transmitter.

High frequency IR waves carry the audio

signal to ensure clear and sharp reception.

Multiple headphones with one

An additional number of headphones can

be used with a single transmitter if they

operate on the same frequency.

Please consult the appliance’s electrical

specification sheets for confirmation on
