How does Rocketboost™ work?

Rocketboost technology can connect all audio devices throughout your home to form a home audio network.
Rocketboost products include “Wireless Senders,” which send or transmit audio streams, and “Wireless Receivers,” which receive the audio. This lets you listen to music from your wireless sender in other rooms using your wireless receiver.
Rocketboost is expandable. Each Rocketboost wireless receiver can select the audio from any wireless sender in your Rocketboost audio network. The following shows an example Rocketboost network. You can set up your network to meet your specific needs.
RF-RBKIT (wireless sender)
RF-RBREC (wireless receiver)
RF-RBAUX (wireless sender/receiver)
RF-RBWS02 (wireless receiver)
We hope you enjoy your new Rocketboost system. Remember that it’s designed to grow with your home entertainment needs, and that it’s easy to add a new device to the network as you expand your system.
