iPad or iPod to up to four different receivers throughout your home or office. Easily get CO-quality sound with no latency and no interference throughout your environment-wirelessly, with Air DAC. The NuForce Air DAC wireless DAC/receiver and associated TX transmitters are based on a new wireless technology known as SKAA (www.skaa.com). SKAA provides seamless operation and a consistent user interface across different SKAA devices. SKAA technology has several advantages resulting in CO- quality sound and ease of setup described in more detail below. Air DAC offers: 0 CO-quality sound, no latency, no interference with other Wi-Fi signals 0 Simple control and setup- no software, setup or pairing 0 Stream music to up to four receivers, and from up to four devices 0 Works with any digital audio from music, movies, and games 0 Works anywhere without interference- no wifi "hot spot" needed for reception About the Air DAC and SKAA wireless technology With Air DAC, you don't move to the music-the music moves with you. The Air DAC Wireless System is a combination wireless transmitter (iTX or uTX) and radio receiver (Air DAC) that operates in the 2.4GHz radio band. The Air DAC Receiver utilizes a premium quality Digital- to-Analog Converter (DAC) stage and simple one-button SKAA control. Unlike similar devices, the Air DAC and associated TX transmitters do not experience the typical loss in sound quality or interference capability of cell phones and other wireless devices. Rather, they offer CO- quality sound, virtually no latency, a 15-30 meter range, and a spread-spectrum technology that detects and chooses from among available frequency spectrums in order to avoid interference. The NuForce Air DAC Wireless Receiver and any device fitted with an appropriate matching TX transmitter can be combined to form a wireless audio network. Each transmitter can send audio to four receivers, and each receiver can connect to as many as four transmitters. Just link your Apple mobile device wirelessly to multiple amplifier/speaker systems located throughout your home. Then simply walk into any room with your portable player-the system automatically locks on to its signal-and stream your music to the speakers in that space. Move to the next room and stream music from the same device to that room's receiver or pair of speakers. Wherever you roam in your home or office, your music is with you. Features: 4 0 Can receive and lock with up to four independent iTX-1 00/uTX-1 00 transmitters. 0 Simple operation -Use the single front-panel switch to step through each of the available transmitters within range of the receiver. The cycle returns to first transmitter after selecting tl'le last available transmitter. 0 CO-quality performance 0 Extra-wide wireless audio range covers larger environments- iTX-1 00 range approximately spans 1 0-20m; uTX-1 00 range spans approximately 15-30m depending on conditions. 0 uTX (for USB device) Transmitter is cross-platform (Mac/PC), so there's no need to install drivers. 0 The iTX similarly connects to a standard analog dock when mated with Apple iPod , iPhone and iPad.

There are numerous ways that the Air DAC I TX system can be configured. Here are a few guidelines to help you get started. Once you become familiar with operating the system you will be able to easily configure it for other, more advanced applications. In addition, we have included a detailed listing below of the Air DAC's SKAA operating controls to help in setting up whatever type of system you might be considering. Quick Start Guide Start Here - System Connection to Apple Mobile Devices (iPod, iPhone, iPad) The majority of users will likely be connecting the system to Apple Mobile Devices such as an iPod for multiple-room music playback. If that is your goal, then here is the place to start. Even if you are planning a more advanced application, it might be a good idea to try setting up this simple system mst in order to become familiar with how everything works. 1) Connect the iTX transmitter to the base of the iPod. Start playing music from the iPod and set the volume to maximum. 2) Plug the Air DAC into the AC power outlet and check to make sure it is turned on. 3) Connect the L&R RCA audio outputs of the Air DAC via quality interconnect cables to an unused input of your home stereo system (or other amplifier/speaker combination). 4) After approximately one minute, the Air DAC will recognize and bond with the signal coming from the iTX/iPod. Once bonded, that iTX/iPod will automatically be added to the Air DAC's Green List of favorite devices. 5) If you would rather not wait (as in step 4) for the Air DAC to automatically bond with your iPod (or it fails to do so for some reason), then double-click the Air DAC's front panel SKAA button. At this point, the Air DAC will begin hunting for the radio signal coming from the iTX transmitter connected to your iPod. Once it detects the signal, it should bond to it. When the process is completed, the LED at the front of the Air DAC should turn AMBER. 6) At this point, you may wish to manually add the iPod to the Air DAC's Green List. To do so push and hold the front panel button on the Air DAC for about three seconds until the AMBER LED turns GREEN. Once completed, that iTX/iPod will be automatically recognized by the Air DAC every time it comes within the vicinity. 7) Set the volume control of the stereo system to the minimum position and then turn on the AC power. 8) Slowly turn up the stereo system's volume to the 9 o'clock position. 9) Listen for the sound of music playing through the speakers. If you hear music, turn the stereo system up to the desired listening level. If you do not hear music, turn the volume of the stereo system back down and then repeat steps 5 through 9. System Connection to a Computer 1) Connect the uTX transmitter to an available USB port on the computer. Start playing music from the computer's media software player and set the volume to maximum (0 dBFS). Check that the computer sound device is configured to play from SKAA USB Audio device. 2) Repeat steps 2 through 9 above. Creating a Cluster 6 A cluster is a method whereby several Air DAC units can be combined in a way that allows one unit to be in control of up to three others. In such a system, the front panel button SKAA control of the Master unit directs the operation of all the system's other Slave units. Once a preferred source is selected from the Green List on the Master unit, all ofthe Slave units will then switch to the same source. If a new

Master's Green List. Typically, such an arrangement might occur where you would have several Air DAC /Amplifier I Speaker systems located in several rooms and configured so that you could move about your home with an iPod playing in your pocket. This arrangement would allow you to have music follow you from room to room without the need to change control settings on any of the other Air DAC receiver systems. Another application might apply to a pair of mono amplifiers (i.e., one channel each) configured for stereo playback and separated by a distance in which signal wires going to each is not a practical option. In that case, you would assign one Air DAC unit to each amplifier and use only the appropriate Left or Right channel of each to feed a given amplifier. In any case, the following procedures will apply: 1) Connect the appropriate iTX or uTX transmitter to the source device. Start playing music from the source and set the volume to maximum. 2) Locate the number of Air DACs you will be using at their designated locations, making sure that AC power is available nearby. 3) Connect the appropriate RCA audio outputs of each Air DAC via quality interconnect cables to the inputs of each amplifier I speaker combination. 4) Power the Master unit to On while holding down the SKAA button until RED LED starts flashing. 5) Power each of the remaining Air DAC receiver units On. 6) Once the LED on the Master becomes solid (stops flashing), turn off the Master and all of the other Slave Air DAC receiver units. 7) The cluster has been successfully made. Now turn on the Master and Slave units. 8) For each location, set the volume control of the amplifier I speaker system to the minimum position and then turn on the AC power. 9) Slowly turn up the volume of each amplifier I speaker system to a 9 o'clock position. 1 O) Listen for the sound of music playing through the speakers on each system. If you hear music, then turn the system volume up to the desired listening level. If you do not hear music, turn the volume of the system back down, turn off all Master & Slave units, and then repeat steps 4 through 10. Dismantling a Cluster At some point after having created a cluster you may wish to return the Air DAC receivers back to stand-alone operation so that they can once again be used as individual units. In order to so, simply follow steps #1 through #4 above in "Creating a Cluster" while omitting step #5. In other words, follow the steps in creating a "Master" without turning on the additional units that would become "Slaves." Once step #4 has been completed, then turn off the unit in question as stated in step #6. When you turn it on the next time, that unit will now operate as an independent receiver. Air DAC I SKAA CONTROL GUIDE Each Air DAC I SKAA .. receiver uses a Green List to keep track of your favorite transmitters (up to ten of them). Hunting through your Green List for your favorite transmitters is signaled by a Green LED. Your receiver can also explore to find new transmitters. Exploring is signaled by an Amber LED. If your receiver has two or more wireless pieces - for example, a left speaker and a right speaker- we call that a Cluster. Each Cluster uses only one Green List. In that way, all of its pieces perform as one. You can command SKAA by using the SKAA Button (the button with the 1••1 logo). Essentials 7

Question Answer How do I know where When you single click the SKAA button, the receiver hunts through the I am on the Green Green List much like a car stereo hunts for radio stations when you List? press "seek". When you see the Green LED flash once, the receiver is looking for transmitter #1 on the Green List. When it flashes twice, it's looking for transmitter #2 on the Green List, and so forth. The receiver looks for each transmitter for about 3 seconds and if not found it moves on to the next one. This LED flashing feedback only happens for the first 5 transmitters on the Green List. How do I get my Let's say you'd like your receiver to sit and wait for transmitter #3 on receiver to listen for a your Green List. Single click the SKAA button and watch the LED- particular count how many times it flashes. The receiver will stop and play audio transmitter? from all active transmitters as you do this. Repeat until you see the LED flash 3 times-when you do, single click the SKAA Button again. SKAA will stop hunting through the Green List-it will just sit there and look solely for transmitter #3. Single clicking the SKAA Button toggles between hunting through the whole Green List and sitting and waiting for one _Qarticular transmitter. What is the Master In any Cluster, there is a single Master Receiver, and all of the other Receiver? receivers in the Cluster follow its behavior. The Master has a working SKAA Button and you can control the entire Cluster with that one button. Can any receiver be No. A receiver must have a physical SKAA Button in order to be made the Master of a the Master of a Cluster. If a receiver has no SKAA Button it can only Cluster? operate as a subordinate part of a Cluster- it cannot be the Master of that Cluster and it cannot operate independently. How do I "uncluster" Do the Make a Cluster of receivers procedure once for each receiver, a group of receivers? omitting step 3. This gives each of the receivers a functioning SKAA Button, and each then operates independently. When I perform the Each step has a 1 0 second time out. For example, when you see the Clustering procedure, Master's LED start to flash, you have up to 10 seconds to power on the how much time do I next receiver. When that receiver's LED starts flashing, you have 10 have to do each step? more seconds to power on the next one, etc. Why does only one of If you've made a Cluster from several receivers, the first one powered my SKAA Buttons on in the Make a Cluster of receivers procedure is the Master of the work?

Can any group of No. The receivers must be the same product model or be part of the SKAA receivers be same product family. If they are not, the Make a Cluster of receivers made into a Cluster? procedure will not work. This is because only receivers that were designed to work together in tandem can be made into a Cluster. 9

10 When plugging in the Air DAC for the first time, it should turn on in Hunting Mode. The SKAA LED starts out illuminated a dim AMBER color (Hunting Mode), and as soon as any TX transmitter is detected (i.e., powered up), it turns to solid AMBER. After approximately one minute, the Air DAC will recognize and bond with the signal coming from the TX transmitter and the LED will turn solid GREEN. Once bonded, that TX transmitter will automatically be added to the Air DAC's Green List of favorite devices. In the event you are not able to get sound through your system, make sure that all interconnect cables are in good condition and properly connected, with all power turned on, and that volume levels are appropriately set. You should also check to make sure that your batteries are fully charged in any portable device you're using. Problem: Not responding to my clicks on the SKAA button. Solution: Clicks should be fast and rapid, without pauses. Problem: No sound but the LED is lit. Solution: Check the Air DAC LED color. If AMBER or GREEN (which means it is getting a wireless signal), THEN check to make sure that: 0 The volume is set correctly 0 The iTX or uTX is properly inserted 0 The Windows Audio Driver points to SKAA Transmitter 0 Please note that the uTX only supports Direct Sound mode (WASAPI, ASIO).
