How do I get sound through my new wireless headphones?
Wireless Headphones Use a “Base Unit” 1. Although the most visible portion of the wireless headphone may be several feet away from the audio receiver, some portion of the headphones must physically connect to the receiver to get sound signals. The portion that connects to the audio receiver is known as a base unit, and may be internal to the receiver or connected by way of speaker wire or audio cable. The receiver sends sound to the wireless headphones base unit in the form of electrical impulses, which must travel over these physical wires as a medium before being prepped for transmission through the air. The Base Unit Sends Radio Signals 2. When the wireless headphones base unit receives electrical impulses from the audio receiver, a processor in the base unit begins converting the impulses into radio waves. Since most wireless headphones work on a frequency modulation (FM) channel, the radio waves generated by the base unit must fall within a very narrow band of frequencies. Slight
