Abstract
An audio transmitter including an audio input interface receiving first audio signals indicative of input audio from an audio source, a wireless transmitter wirelessly streaming second audio signals indicative of the input audio to a first audio reproducing device, and an audio output interface connectable to a second audio reproducing device, the audio transmitter arranged to supply third audio signals indicative of the input audio to the audio output interface. The audio transmitter facilitates connection to the audio transmitter to control wireless streaming of the second audio signals. A characteristic of sound of the wirelessly streamed second audio signals is controllable independently of a characteristic of sound of the third audio signals. An initial connection is established between the audio transmitter and a computing device in response to detection that the location of the computing device relative to the audio transmitter is less than a defined threshold.
