High Volume Safety
Protect your hearing from high volume levels. Permanent hearing damage may occur when headphones are used at high volume levels for a prolonged time.
Power Delivery
RM1 receives power through one of the two USB-C ports. RM1 requires at least 15 Watts / 5V3A. This means, through a standard USB-C to USB-A cable, connected to a 5V power supply or a computer/mac, RM1 will not start up. Connect at least to a USB-C or Thunderbolt-Port which supports power delivery.
Maximum USB-C cable length: 2m.
Alternatively, you can connect one of both USB-C ports, to the included USB-C power supply and the other one to your computer / mobile device afterwards for audio I/O.
