PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Bluetooth® modules built into PCs and notebooks
are general devices that do not map all the functions
needed to operate a hands-free system or a headset
in conjunction with a Unified Communications software
solution. A USB WL Adapter is therefore required.
The USB WL Adapter gives you:
• High quality audio playback (A2DP)
• Volume level synchronised with the operating system
(macOS / Windows)
• Detection of microphone use and switching to HFP
• Fully synchronised buttons on the beyerdynamic device
The following Bluetooth® profiles are supported:
• HFP (wideband voice / HD Audio (l6kHz); AT commands
from the hands-free channel are understood and
converted into commands for the USB HID device.)
• A2DP (high quality audio playback; AVRCP for volume
synchronisation; profile commands are converted into
commands for the USB HID device.)
FIRST STEPS
Removing from packaging and storing
► Remove the USB WL Adapter from the packaging.
This provides the best protection and prevents damage.
FIRMWARE UPDATE
Firmware updates are carried out via USB-HID using the
beyerdynamic Update Hub: https://byr.li/firmwareupdate
SUPPORTED AUDIO CODECS
The USB WL Adapter supports the SBC audio codec.
Please note that only the codecs available in the play-
back device can be used for audio transmission.
Playback device and the beyerdynamic Bluetooth®
device automatically select the best mutually available
codec: In this case SBC.
