Thomann SIRUS DI USB / BT

Safety instructions

Intended useThis device is used to convert wirelessly received Bluetooth® and / or USB digital sig-nals to analogue signals with line level. Any other use or use under other operating conditions is considered to be improper and may result in personal injury or proper-ty damage. No liability will be assumed for damages resulting from improper use.

Danger for children

Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are disposed of properly and are not within reach of babies and young children. Choking hazard! Ensure that children do not detach any small parts from the product. They could swallow the pieces and choke! Never let children unattended use electrical devices!

Notes on wireless transmissionThis device utilizes frequencies that are not harmonized within the European Union (EU) and therefore may only be used in certain EU member states. In all European countries, the frequencies used for the transmission of audio signals are strictly regulated. Before you start, make sure the frequencies are allowed in the respective coun-try and check whether the operation must be reported to the appropriate authority.

  • Make sure that transmitter and receiver are both tuned to the same channel.
  • Never set multiple transmitters to the same channel.
  • Make sure that there are no metal objects between the transmitter and receiver.
  • Avoid interference from other radio or in-ear systems.

Incorrect handling of lithium batteries can result in injury

  • In the event of a short circuit, overheating or mechanical damage, lithium batteries can cause severe injuries.
  • When handled correctly and appropriately lithium batteries pose no risk.
  • Store lithium batteries in a cool, dry place, ideally in the original packaging.
  • Store lithium batteries away from heat sources (e.g. radiators or sunlight). Lithium batteries are hermetically sealed. Never attempt to open a lithium battery.
  • If the battery housing is damaged small amounts of the electrolyte may leak out. If this should happen, seal the lithium battery in airtight packaging and wipe up the traces of electrolyte using absorbent paper towels. You must wear protective rub-ber gloves when doing so. Clean your hands and the affected surface thoroughly with cold water.
  • Never attempt to recharge non-rechargeable lithium batteries. When charging lit-hium batteries you must use a suitable charging device intended for the purpose.
  • Before disposing of the device remove the lithium batteries. Protect used lithium batteries against potential short circuits, e.g. by covering the poles with adhesive tape.
  • Only use powder extinguishers or other suitable extinguishing agents to extingu-ish a burning lithium battery.

Possible damage to lithium-ion batteries through incorrect storage

By deep discharge, lithium-ion batteries can be permanently damaged or lose some of their capacity.Before long breaks, charge the batteries to around 50 % of their capacity and then switch off the device. Store the device at room temperature or cooler in an environ-ment as dry as possible. If the batteries are stored for a longer period, recharge them to 50 % every three months.Fully charge the batteries only shortly before use at room temperature.

Where to use the productNever use the product

  • in conditions of extreme temperature or humidity
  • in extremely dusty or dirty areas
  • at locations where the unit can become wet

General handling

  • To prevent damage, never use force when operating the switches and controls.
  • Never immerse the appliance in water. Just wipe it with a clean dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners such as benzene, thinners or flammable cleaning agents.

Electromagnetic compatibility other electrical equipmentUsing the device near radios or TV sets may cause interference. Then increase the distance between the devices.

Operating elements

  1. USB: Adjusts the volume of the signal transmitted via USB.
  2. BT: Adjusts the volume of the signal transmitted via Bluetooth®.
  3. STATUS: This LED shows the pairing status of the BT connection:
    • If the LED changes between green and red, the device is ready for pairing
    • If the LED flashes green slowly, the device is coupled via BT
  4. CHARGE: This LED lights up red during charging and green when the device is fully charged.
  5. ANT: Connect the included Bluetooth® antenna here to communicate with the paired device.
  6. USB: Connection for transmitting signals and for charging the device.
  7. MONO: Toggles the incoming sum signal from BT and USB between stereo and mono.
  8. Headphone: This 3.5 mm jack output provides the sum signal from BT and USB.
  9. RESET: Press this button to unpair the device so that the device can be paired again.
  10. BT POWER: Turns on the Bluetooth® wireless connection.
  11. LEFT OUT: Balanced XLR output for connecting active monitors, power amplifiers or recording devices. The USB or BT signal is present here. With simultaneous transmission via both paths, the mono-summed signal (MONO switch in MONO position) or the left stereo signal (MONO switch not in MONO position) is present here.
  12. LIFT / GROUND: This switch separates signal and housing ground potential (LIFT) or connects both (GROUND). A separation of these ground potentials can avoid hum noise caused by ground loops.
  13. RIGHT OUT: Balanced XLR output for connecting active monitors, power amplifiers or recording devices. The USB or BT signal is present here. With simultaneous transmission via both paths, the mo-no-summed signal (MONO switch in MONO position) or the right stereo signal (MONO switch not in MONO position) is present here.

Using the product

  1. Before using the device, you must have fully charged it using a suitable USB voltage source that you connect to the USB port. The CHARGE LED lights up red during charging and green when the device is fully charged.
  2. For BT operation, screw the enclosed BT antenna to the ANT connection and press BT POWER. Switch on the device to be paired and look for Sirus DI USB/BT in its pairing menu. After pairing, the LED slowly flashes green.
  3. For USB operation, connect the USB signal source (computer or similar) to the USB port using a suitable USB C cable.
  4. Simultaneous USB and BT operation is possible.
  5. Connect active monitors, power amplifiers or recording devices to the balanced XLR output sockets. Connect headphones with a 3.5 mm jack plug to the socket.
  6. Start the transmission at the signal source(s). Use the VOLUME controls to adjust the desired volume for the respective transmission path.
  • For the transport and protective packaging, environmentally friendly materials have been chosen that can be supplied to normal recycling. Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are properly disposed of. Do not just dispose of these ma-terials with your normal household waste, but make sure that they are collected for recycling. Please follow the notes and markings on the packaging.
  • Batteries must not be thrown away or incinerated; they must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations for the disposal of hazardous waste. Use the existing collection points for this.Dispose lithium batteries only in discharged condition. Remove replaceable lithium batteries from the device before disposal. Protect used lithium batteries from short circuits, for example by covering the poles with adhesive tape. Permanently installed lithium batteries must be disposed of together with the device. Please inquire about a suitable acceptance point.
  • This product is subject to the European Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) in its currently valid version.
