• Rocketboost™ is uncompressed digital audio compatible with all audio
formats such as Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD Master Audio used with
Blu-ray.
When you see the Rocketboost™ logo on any
product, it has been designed to work with
other Rocketboost™ products, no matter who
manufactures them.
How does Rocketboost™ work?
Rocketboost technology can connect all audio devices throughout
your home to form a home audio network.
Rocketboost products include “Senders,” which send or transmit
audio streams, and “Receivers,” which receive the audio. This lets you
listen to music from your Sender in other rooms using your Receiver.
For this product, the Sender is built into the Docking station, and the
Receiver is the Headphone.
Rocketboost is expandable. Each Rocketboost Receiver can select the
audio from any Sender in your Rocketboost audio network. The
following shows an example Rocketboost network. You can set up
your network to meet your specific needs.
