Caution : Wireless technology
Interference can be caused by devices that emit waves.
Devices such as Wi-Fi routers and microwave ovens can
affect audio transmissions with your Parrot DS1120 and also
degrade your system’s audio quality.
Introduction
The Bluetooth wireless technology enables audio information
and data to be sent via a short-distance radio link. Parrot
draws on its long years of experience in the Bluetooth tech-
nology to offer you an innovative system, the Parrot DS1120.
The Parrot DS1120 is a wireless sound system based on the
Bluetooth technology.
Plug in the speakers and use your Bluetooth-compatible
computer, mobile phone, smartphone, PDA, or MP3 player to
stream your MP3 tracks to the speakers. Your audio device
acts as the transmitter and the speakers act as the receiver.
Transmitting music in this way is known as streaming.
The Parrot DS1120 also features a line-in socket that can
be used to stream any music stored on an MP3 player, CD
player, and so on. In this case, an audio cable is required to
connect the device to either of the two speakers (supplied).

Optimal conditions
• 1 = 2 = 3
• 4 > 40 cm
• 5 ~ 60°

“Using the Parrot Bluetooth USB Dongle” section for more

- Streaming audio from any kind of audio player with the Jack
socket (Jack-Jack audio cable supplied)
- Streaming Audio from a mobile phone / PDA / Smartphone

Setting up the Parrot DS1120
1. Selecting a place for the Parrot DS1120
The Parrot DS1120 is designed to be placed on a desk,
a table or a stable shelf. To get the best possible sound
performances, we advise you to respect the following
recommendations:
• Make sure that you correctly installed the speakers at
their respective positions (the “Right” and “Left” labels are
located on the back of the speakers).
• Install your speakers at the same distance
from the listening point.
• Make sure there are no obstacles between the speakers
and you. Avoid corners if possible.
• Turn the speakers towards the listening point by establishing
a 60 degree angle (refer to the diagram) as most
of the stereo recordings are realized for this conguration.
• Install your speakers at ear level: by doing so,
the frequency response will be optimal.
• To get the best possible reproduction of the bass frequencies,
make sure there is a minimal distance of 40 cm between the
back and lateral walls and the speaker. Bass frequencies
will get louder if you place your speakers closer to the walls.
