AbouttheMiccus®HomeRTX2.0
The Miccus® Home RTX 2.0 is the rst dual link long range
wireless transmier or receiver featuring Bluetooth® v4.2 and
two simultaneous aptX Low Latency audio streams. Use as either a
Bluetooth® receiver or transmier and add Bluetooth® technology
to your exisng television or stereo equipment. The Home RTX 2.0
supports dual link pairing; which means two devices can be paired at the
same me. The Miccus® Home RTX 2.0 also features opcal audio pass
thru. Use the same audio source and daisy chain two or more Miccus®
Home RTX 2.0’s together; double or even triple the number of low latency
audio streams available for use. Avoid the use of an opcal splier box;
use the digital audio pass thru of the Home RTX 2.0 to send television
audio to both the RTX 2.0 and your soundbar.

ReceiveMode(RX): Use the RTX 2.0 with any device capable of
Transming a Bluetooth® wireless audio signal (Bluetooth® proles
refer to this feature as A2DP). Such capable devices include mobile
phones, tablets, and PC’s or a Bluetooth® audio adapter such as the
Miccus® Home RTX, Home RTX Mini, Mini-jack TX4, and Mini-jack RTX.
Bluetooth®CodecSupport: The Miccus® Home RTX 2.0 provides support
for four common Bluetooth® audio codecs: SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX Low
Latency. In order to pair using a given codec, both the transming
device and the receiving device must support the codec. The Home
RTX 2.0 will automacally pair at the highest quality common codec
that both devices support. All Bluetooth® audio devices commonly
support the SBC codec. Unless device specic documentaon indicates
otherwise, it is most likely the Home RTX 2.0 will pair with your device
using the SBC codec.
Note:
• The Miccus Home RTX 2.0 will use the aptX Low Latency codec
only when paired with another device that also supports aptX
Low Latency.
• If television or video audio is your primary use, then it is recom-
mended to purchase the Miccus® SR-71 Stealth headphones or
other A2DP compable Bluetooth® headphones/speakers that
support the aptX Low Latency codec. With dual-link pairing
enabled the aptX Low Latency codec is non-funconal.
• When dual link paired with two sets of aptX Low Latency
headphones, the Home RTX 2.0 will dual-link stream in aptX
Low Latency.
OtherEndBluetoothDevice Audio Latency
aptX Low Latency 38ms (+ or – 5ms)
aptX 70ms (+ or – 10ms)

used with the Miccus® Home RTX 2.0.
ConnecngCables
The Miccus® Home RTX 2.0 ships with the following audio cables:
a) TOSLINK digital opcal cable
b) 3.5mm (mini-plug) male to 3.5mm (mini-plug) male cable
Note: If your television or stereo system requires a dierent cable,
please contact Miccus Customer Support and we may be able to
help you: [email protected], 616-604-4449.
• In TX (transmit) mode, the Miccus® Home RTX 2.0 requires an
audio input source like a computer, tablet, smartphone, television
or stereo system, etc. that can oer the Home RTX 2.0 an audio
signal/music to transmit. The cable being used must be connected
to the appropriate input: either TOSLINK / opcal to the “Opcal
In” or 3.5mm to the “3.5mm In.”
5
• To receive a wireless stream in RX (receive) mode, the Miccus®
Home RTX 2.0 must be connected to an auxiliary input on a
stereo or powered speaker system. The cable being used must
be connected to the appropriate output: either TOSLINK/opcal
to the “Opcal Out” or 3.5mm to the “3.5mm Out.”
Note: The included USB cable with ferrite core is for USB power only and
does not oer an audio or data type connecon. For opmal performance,
always use the provided USB cable with your Miccus® Home RTX 2.0. Since
the Miccus® Home RTX 2.0 is a long range Bluetooth® device it may be
suscepble to RF interference; the USB cable with ferrite core can help
reduce potenal interference during operaon.
Pairing
Note: The Miccus® Home RTX 2.0 and your Bluetooth® device should
be no more than one meter apart when pairing (the closer the beer
unl paired).

OpcalPassThrough
The Miccus Home RTX 2.0 features digital audio pass through. Digital
audio coming into the Home RTX 2.0 via the “Opcal In” will also pass
through to the “Opcal output.” Most televisions and stereo systems
feature only one opcal audio output. The Home RTX 2.0 allows the user
to receive an opcal audio feed from a television or stereo system and
transmit/stream that audio feed to two pair of headphones or Bluetooth
speakers simultaneously. The Home RTX 2.0 can then pass that same
audio onto a soundbar, stereo receiver, or another Miccus Home RTX 2.0
without the use of an opcal audio splier. Use the same audio source
and daisy chain two or more Miccus® Home RTX 2.0’s together; double
or even triple the number of low latency audio streams available for use.
