Connection of iCub to a Wi-Fi receiver

iCub: user manual

The iCub subwoofer can be directly connected to a wireless network thanks to a Wi-Fi station with audio capabilities.

Such an installation permits a Wi-Fi equipped computer to act as an audio server and transmit the audio files wirelessly to the iCub.

Connection of iCub to an Apple® Airport ExpressTM

The iCub works optimally with the Airport ExpressTM station by Apple®. This 802.11g (54 Mbps) Wi-Fi station is capable of transmitting compressed audio, but also native, non-compressed audio. It also allows the possibility of transmitting the original audio signal from CD with no alteration directly to iCub, creating a wireless audio system of very high quality (fig. G). Connection can be done with a traditional audio cable, but use of an optical digital cable is highly recommended for better definition and improved dynamics.

Note: Use of the station Airport ExpressTM requires the program iTunesTM from Apple Computer Inc®, compatible Macintosh® and PC.
