Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Octet Matrix Audio DE5B-DW50 wireless speaker system.
Please read through the entire manual before attempting to install your wireless speaker
system. Wireless setup & operation can sometimes be problematic, but by following the
guidelines in this manual, you should have your system up and running optimally with few
problems.
Features
Octet Matrix Audio has set the standard for wireless speakers by integrating uncompressed
CD quality wireless audio transmission with high efficiency Class T amplification in convenient,
easy to use systems. Utilizing the 5.8 GHz wireless band, the DE5B-DW50 wireless speaker
system offers trouble free operation in most home environments.
The Octet Matrix Audio DE5B-DW50 wireless speaker system provides the following class
leading features:
44.1 kHz/16 bit uncompressed digital audio for CD quality wireless audio transmission.
Completely independent right and left bookshelf monitors with integrated wireless
receiver and 50 watt RMS class T amplifier (100 watts RMS total).
Minimizes interference possibilities by operating in the less crowded 5.8 GHz wireless
band.
Wireless audio link produces less than 1 millisecond latency (delay) making the DE5B-
DW50 speakers ideally suited for use in home theater systems. Other wireless systems
can have as much as 30 milliseconds latency, making them unusable in many home
theater installations.
High efficiency Class T amplifier delivers 50 watts RMS at less than .04% THD with very
little excess heat generation. Class T amplifier architecture provides high definition
audio performance while operating at class D amplifier efficiency.
Exclusive Octet Matrix Audio wireless setup CD confirms proper system setup and
allows users to optimize wireless system dynamic range.
