Connect Orbit Pro to Power

Use the included power cable to connect Orbit Pro to a USB power adapter and plug the adapter into a wall outlet.

Power requirement: Use a 5V USB adapter rated between 500mA and 2A.

Choose one of the included audio cables: AUX, RCA, or Optical (OPT).

Connect the cable to your speaker or soundbar and to the corresponding port in the OUTPUT section of Orbit Pro.

AUX — 3.5mm Audio Connection

On Orbit Pro, use:

OUTPUT — AUX

Select the AUX input on your speaker if it has multiple input modes.

RCA — Red and White Audio Connection
