Dali iO-8 - Connection Modes

4.2 Connection Modes
Your IO-8 headphones incorporate four dierent
connection modes. Each mode oers features suited to
dierent needs and scenarios. The table on the following
page illustrates the features of each connection mode
described in the paragraphs below.
Wireless Active Mode
Switch on and connect your headphones via Bluetooth
to a source device such as a smart phone, tablet or
computer. All the IO-8 active noise-cancelling, DSP and
sound mode functions will be available. This is the best
connection mode for headphone use on-the-go when
travelling, for freedom of movement and for avoiding
cables.
Wired Active USB Mode
Switch on and connect your headphones using the
supplied USB cable to a computer with a USB audio
output socket. All the IO-8 active noise-cancelling, DSP
and sound mode functions will be available.
Analogue Wired Active Mode
Switch on and connect your headphones via the supplied
3.5 mm mini jack cable to a source device with an
analogue jack output. All the IO-8 active noise-cancelling,
DSP and sound mode functions will be available. This is
the best connection mode to use with a source device
fied with a conventional analogue headphone output. For
instance, use this mode when flying/connected to in-flight
entertainment systems.
Analogue Wired Passive Mode
With your IO-8 headphones switched-o, connect them
using the supplied 3.5 mm mini jack cable to a source
device with an analogue jack output. In this passive
connection mode none of the IO-8 active noise-cancelling,
DSP and sound mode functions will be available. Use this
connection mode if your IO-8 baery is exhausted or
simply if you prefer the inherent sound of a particular
source device or headphone amplifier. Headphone
volume control in passive, and wired active mode will
default to the source device.
