PARTS ASSEMBLY
The head tracking system consists of two units: the head tracker itself, which sits atop the listener’s
head, and the head tracking reference, which is placed in front of the listener. For simplicity and
clarity, we will refer to these units as “head-top” and “set-top” respectively. The “set-top” may well be
placed atop a television “set” or display screen, or may not, but will always be centred in front of the
listener.
Clip
for head-top
On the Stax headphones, identify the front vs. the back; to do this, look for the
L
and
R
markings at
each end of the headband. Snap the head-top clip onto the top of the headband so that the rectangular
socket is on the front of the headband.
Although the clip is designed to fit the Stax headband, it can be used with almost any headphones. To
attach to a headphone other than the Stax, turn the clip upside-down, place it on the top of the
headband, and secure it with a rubber band. The socket should be on the forward side of the headband.
