Cardo Systems Freecom 4x - Using Parallel Audio Streaming

● AGC and voice control performance vary based on environmental conditions, including riding speed,
helmet type and ambient noise. For improved voice control performance, minimize the wind impact on the
microphone by closing the visor and using the large microphone sponge.
7.1 USING PARALLEL AUDIO STREAMING
With parallel audio streaming, you can hear GPS instructions during a mobile or Bluetooth intercom call, or while
listening to other audio sources, such as music or FM radio.
● Parallel audio streaming may not work properly with some iOS devices (i.e., music player or GPS navigator)
due to connected device limitations.
Your FREECOM4x sets the various audio sources to either foreground (volume remains the same) or background
(volume reduced) as described in the following table:

● In some cases, parallel audio streaming may not work properly due to connected device limitations (music
player or GPS navigator).
● Cardo recommends that during a 3-way or 4-way Bluetooth intercom conference call, the rider who is
connected to only one intercom call listens for mobile phone and GPS announcements.
● You cannot use music sharing for voice audio with riders during parallel audio streaming.
You can configure parallel audio streaming via the Cardo app.
