Note
• When the standard Dual-Link Pairing procedure won’t connect
more than one device, follow step 4 to pair both receiving
devices individually then power down the Miccus® Home TX Pro
and your second device. Next, power on both receiving devices
(headphones, speakers, etc.) then place the Miccus® Home TX Pro
into pairing mode again. When devices are paired both the far
le and far right blue indicator lights will turn solid blue.
• To iniate Dual-link audio streaming to both devices, somemes it
may require you to quickly press the Miccus® Home TX Pro
power buon or the second device’s play/pause/power buon.
• When Dual-link paired with two receiving devices, the Miccus®
Home TX Pro will default to streaming with the SBC codec to
both devices.

System Requirements
The Miccus® Home TX Pro transmits high quality stereo audio to any
compable A2DP Bluetooth® prole wireless Receiving device.
Compable devices include Bluetooth® enabled headphones/
speakers or Bluetooth® adapters like the Miccus® Home RTX, Home
RTX Mini, Mini-jack AX4, Mini-jack RTX, or the SR-71 Stealth
Headphones.
Bluetooth Codec Support: The Miccus® Home TX Pro provides
support for three common Bluetooth® codecs: SBC, aptX, aptX Low
Latency. In order to pair using a given codec, both the Miccus® Home
TX Pro and the paired receiving device must support the codec. All
Bluetooth® audio devices commonly support the SBC codec. Unless
device specic documentaon indicates otherwise, it is likely the
Miccus® Home TX Pro will pair with your receiving device using the
SBC codec.
Note:
• The Miccus® Home TX Pro will use the aptX Low Latency codec
only when paired with a receiving device that also supports
aptX Low Latency.
• If Television or video audio is your primary use, then it is
recommended to purchase the Miccus® SR-71 Stealth
Headphones or other A2DP compable Bluetooth®
headphones/speakers that support the aptX Low Latency
codec. The aptX Low Latency codec is only operable when using
one aptX Low Latency compable receiving device at a me.
With dual-link pairing enabled the aptX Low Latency codec is
non-funconal.
Other End Bluetooth Device
Supported Codec
The audio lag will be around
aptX low latency 38ms ± 5ms
aptX 70ms ± 10ms
SBC 220ms ± 50ms

Detailed Instrucons for Use
Power on/o
The Miccus® Home TX Pro supports mini USB power. Connect one
end of the included USB power cable to the Home TX Pro USB jack;
connect the other end to a compable USB power supply unit
(5V/500mA), computer, or television USB port. Any USB charger that
is rated at an output of 5V@500mA or higher is compable and may
be used with the Miccus® Home TX Pro.
Connecng Cables
The Miccus® Home TX Pro ships with the following audio cables:
a) 3.5mm (mini-plug) male to RCA (red and white) male
b) Toslink digital opcal cable
c) RCA to RCA audio cable
• The Miccus® Home TX Pro requires an audio input source like a
computer, tablet, smartphone, television or stereo system, etc.
that can oer the Home TX Pro an audio signal/music to
transmit. The cable being used must be connected to the
appropriate input: either 3.5mm to the “Line In”, or toslink to
the “Opcal In”. Use the included cable that is best for your
applicaon.
Note: The included USB cable with ferrite core is for USB power
only and does not offer an audio or data type connection. For
optimal performance, always use the provided USB cable with
your Miccus® Home TX Pro. Since the Miccus® Home TX Pro is a
long range transmitter it may be susceptible to RF interference;
the USB cable with ferrite core can help reduce potenal
interference during operaon.

Pairing
Note: The Miccus® Home TX Pro and your Bluetooth® device should
be no more than one meter apart when pairing (the closer the beer
unl paired).
1. Power on your headphones, speaker or other compable A2DP
Bluetooth® prole device and engage pairing mode.
2. Place the Miccus® Home TX Pro into pairing mode: press and
hold the power buon (8.5 seconds) unl the Miccus® Home
TX Pro powers on and the indicator light goes from slow
ashing red to fast ashing red and blue.
3. When pairing is complete the Home TX Pro far LEFT indicator
will light a solid blue; single link pairing has been established.
4. Dual-link pairing allows for two Bluetooth® receiving devices to
pair with the Miccus® Home TX Pro at a me. Once you’ve
paired your rst set of headphones to the Miccus® Home TX
Pro (steps 1-3 above), power down both the Miccus® Home TX
Pro and your headphones. Repeat steps 1-3 to pair your second
set of headphones. Once the second set of headphones is
paired to the Miccus® Home TX Pro, the far LEFT indicator will
turn solid blue. Turn on the rst pair of headphones and they
will automacally reconnect to the Miccus® Home TX Pro. The
far RIGHT indicator will turn solid blue. When both pairing
indicators are lit solid blue, Dual-link pairing has been estab-
lished. With dual-link enabled the aptX Low Latency codec is
not funconal.
Note: Leave the Miccus® Home TX Pro connuously connected to
USB power, and powered on to automacally reconnect when the
last paired device is within range. If powered o or disconnected
from USB power, the Miccus® Home TX Pro should automacally
reconnect with the last paired receiving device when both devices
are powered on and within range.
To begin streaming audio simply press the play buon on your audio
source and adjust volume to taste.
