music over Bluetooth connections. The RS150
will automatically utilize aptX when connected to
a source that supports aptX. Simply connect with
Bluetooth as described in “Quick Start (Bluetooth)”
on page 4.
The RS150 also supports the higher resolution aptX
HD (24-bit/48kHz). If your device utilizes aptX HD
then that resolution will be utilized automatically.
The RS150 also features aptX LL (Low Latency)
which automatically ensures Bluetooth can deliver
sound in sync with visual media. It reduces
delay and improves end-to-end speed of the
audio transmission, resulting in a high quality,
synchronized user experience with any transmitting
device that supports aptX LL.
