How to connect Catchbox to a laptop (Mac)

Here you can find instructions for both Catchbox Plus and Lite setup with Mac or Mac Mini.

Catchbox Lite setup with a Mac

1

Connect the receiver:

Connect the power supply to the receiver and plug the cord into an AC power source.

Plug the included USB audio adapter to the computer’s USB port and connect it to the receiver’s audio-output using the provided audio cable.

2

Remove the transmitter from the cover - twist the cylinder 90 degrees to release the magnet lock and pull it upwards.

3

Turn on both the transmitter and the receiver - the status LED should turn green on both.

4

Adjust settings on Mac - go to System Preferences -->  Sound --> Output, and select “Catchbox”.

5

Adjust the volume level - test it first by speaking into the microphone and adjust it using the volume knob on the receiver and/or transmitter.

6

Place the transmitter into the cover - make sure to secure the magnetic lock between both! Do this by aligning both black triangle marks on the cover and transmitter. You should hear a slight click when the magnets lock.
