Product FAQ

  • The Subsonic has Bluetooth receive so it can receive a signal from a device (e.g. mobile phone or music system with Bluetooth transmit).

    If you uses a transmitter with the Music Systems and plug it into the headphone socket, then it will cut out the music system speakers.

    If you would like to play via both the music system speakers and the bluetooth speakers, you would need a plug convertor to make the 3.5mm into RCA plugs to be able to connect to the Audio Out at the back of the music system unit.

    Please note that on some systems, when you have internal/wired speakers playing at the same time as Bluetooth speakers, there can be some latency!

    To have both the Music System and Subsonic Speakers playing at the same time and avoid any latency it is best to use the wired connection to the Subsonic.

    You can either use the 3.5mm cable supplied with the Subsonic to plug into the music system headphone socket which will cut off the music system speakers OR you can get an RCA to RCA cable (not supplied) to go from the Subsonic into the Audio Out sockets at the back of the music system which will mean both the music system speakers and the Subsonic will play at the same time with no latency risk.

  • Setting up:
    *Make sure the power to the main Houston unit is switched ‘OFF’.

    *Connect both speakers to mains power supply using the 2 adaptors provided and ensure the On/Off switches on both speakers are set to ‘ON’.

    *At this point you will see a flashing RED light on the LEFT speaker and a flashing BLUE light on the RIGHT speaker.

    *Wait for a few seconds and you should hear a ‘bing bong’ sound. This indicates that the speakers have now linked together (can take 30 seconds to 1 minute the first time).

    *You should now have the light on one speaker as a solid colour and the other speaker light will still be flashing. This indicates that the speakers are linked together and the flashing speaker is now searching for the main Houston unit.

    *At this point you need to power ‘ON’ the main Houston unit and wait again for a ‘bing bong’ sound. This indicates that the speakers have now connected to the main unit.

    *You can now start to use the unit on whichever function you wish..
