Pyxis remote control
The wireless Pyxis remote control is the easiest way to control the Altair preamp and other Constellation Audio
products. Other Constellation Audio Hercules products can also be controlled by the Pyxis, as can products by
other manufacturers.
1. Installation
Pulsar RF hub
Before the Pyxis remote can be set up, the Pulsar RF hub must be installed. The RF hub
lets up to four Constellation Audio products talk wirelessly to the Pyxis remote control. The
may be placed horizontally or placed on the supplied stand so it stands vertically. Double-
stick adhesive is supplied to attach the Pulsar RF hub to its stand.
A standard Cat-6 cable transmits data between the Pulsar RF hub and the Altair preamp.
Connect the Altair to the port nearest the 3.5mm minijack on the Pulsar (the top port
shown in the photo). Connect other Constellation Audio components to the 2
nd
, 3
rd
and
bottom ports in order.
The Pulsar RF hub also requires a power supply connection, which can be provided from
the DC output of the Altair power supply. A jack for an IR emitter is also supplied; contact
your Constellation Audio dealer for questions concerning use of this feature.
For best results, place the Pulsar RF hub away from metal objects. Range of the Pulsar RF hub is up to 50 feet,
but this range may be affected by the position and orientation of the hub. If the Pyxis remote works reliably,
there is no need to be concerned about the range. If you experience inconsistent operation—i.e., if pushing a
button on the Pyxis sometimes doesn’t cause the components to respond—try turning the Pulsar RF hub in
another direction or moving it to a different location.
