Headphone Listening

Listening with Wired Headphones

Listening with Wireless Headphones

The Infrared Music Maker™ provides for an unlimited number of 34B-IR infrared headphone listeners within its 15’ wireless transmission range. Six of these headphones come with the 6-person Wireless Listening Center (2395IRPLC-6) or can be purchased separately for use with the 2395IR.

Infrared audio is line-of-sight transmission. There must be an unobstructed view from the headphone to the Music Maker in order for reception to be heard. Audio signals are sent through the air by an FM (frequency modulation) carrier. Since the transmission is from a light source (LED, light emitting diodes) the system will not work in bright sunlight.

Suggestion: Best reception for all infrared headphones is when listeners form a maximum 10-15’ semi-circle in front of the Music Maker™.

To transmit audio from radio, CD or tape simply switch (49) to infrared headphone and

34B-IR

 

transmission begins from the red IR domes (48). Both domes must remain uncovered in order to transmit.

 

Audio from speakers or to headphones

Audio will project from either the speakers OR to the wireless headphones - not to both at the same time.

Note: The internal speakers and headphone jacks are disconnected in IR mode. Only Califone 34B-IR infrared headphones must be used to receive the audio (purchased separately).

Note: There is no limit on the number of headphones that can be used as long as there is nothing blocking the transmission from the 2395IR.
