Audio Strap
Setup Guide and Getting Started
Beyond Audio Strap
Connecting the Audio Strap to the Headset
Routing the Beyond Cable Through the Cable Holder
The cable holder prevents tangling and damage, ensuring smooth movement. The rubber protects against bending, extending the cable's life.
Prepare the Cable Holder:
Take the cable holder rubber and wrap it around the Beyond cable as shown in the image. Cable Length: Ensure there is sufficient cable length to comfortably move your head without restrictions.
Attach to the Audio Strap:
Position the cable holder rubber into the cable holder clip located on the left back side of your Audio Strap. Ensure it fits securely and snugly.
Attaching the Audio Strap to the Headset
Carefully align and press each audio strap arm into the specified hinges on the headset, ensuring they slot into place with a gentle but firm click.
To verify a secure connection, give the arms a soft tug. Next, insert the USB-C headset cable, which you previously routed through the cable holder, into the headset's port.
Should you require additional cable length for comfortable use, lightly pull the cable through the cable holder to adjust. Confirm that you have sufficient cable slack to allow for unrestricted head movement.
Optional: Utilizing Audio Strap Arm Extensions
Some customers with larger or wider head shapes may get a more comfortable experience by using the Arm Extensions.
To install, first attach the extension onto the headset's hinge. Then, connect the audio strap arm to the extension. After assembly, perform a gentle pull test on the extended arm to ensure it's securely fastened and properly aligned.
Connecting the USB-C Audio Strap Cable
Identify the Correct Port: Locate the USB-C port on the right side of your Bigscreen Beyond. This is where you'll connect the Audio Strap.
Please note that the USB-C audio strap cable is designed to extend and retract. When first unboxed, the cable will come retracted into the housing by default. To extend the cable, simply pull it gently and firmly.
Important: Do not connect the Audio Strap to the left port. The left port is reserved for the headset's USB-C connector, which connects your link box to your Beyond headset.
Audio Strap Adjustments
Adjusting your Audio Strap is key to achieving the perfect fit for your Bigscreen Beyond. In the steps below, we'll guide you through the process of customizing the fit of your Audio Strap for optimal comfort and sound quality.
Adjusting the Headset Arms
Adjust the pressure of your Beyond by twisting the knob on the back of the Audio Strap. This action extends or retracts the headset arms, allowing for a tighter or looser fit. Aim for a secure yet comfortable fit, and avoid overtightening to prevent damage to the strap and discomfort during use.
Fine-Tuning: Adjusting the Speaker Arms
Achieving the perfect audio experience with your Beyond involves fine-tuning the speaker arms for optimal placement. There are three key adjustments you can make to ensure the speakers sit snugly over your ears, delivering the best possible sound quality.
Lowering or Raising the Speaker Arm
To adjust the height of the speaker arm, gently hold it with your fingers and move it either downwards to lower or upwards to raise.
Moving the Speakers Closer or Further
For adjusting the distance of the speakers from your ears, locate the knob on the speaker arm. With a gentle grip, push or pull the speakers forwards or backwards.
Adjusting the Speaker Distance
To adjust how close the speakers are to your ears, which is essential for immersive sound, look for the side knobs on the speaker arms. Gently rotate these knobs to move the speakers closer to or further from your ears. This fine adjustment allows you to achieve the perfect balance between comfort and audio quality.
