System Requirements
VGtx transmits high quality stereo audio to all VG series speakers and any compatible
A2DP Bluetooth® profile wireless receiving device. Compatible devices include all VG
series speakers, Bluetooth® enabled headphones/speakers or
Bluetooth® adapters.
Bluetooth Codec Support:
The VGtx provides support for three common Bluetooth® codecs: SBC, aptX, and aptX
Low Latency. To pair using a given codec, both the VGtx and the paired receiving device
must support the codec. All Bluetooth® audio devices commonly support the SBC codec.
Unless device specific documentation indicates otherwise; it is likely the VGtx will pair with
your receiving device using the SBC codec.
Note:
• The VGtx is designed to work with all VG series speakers and will utilize the aptX Low
Latency codec automatically. If using other products, aptX Low Latency codec will only be
active when paired with a receiving device that also supports aptX Low Latency.
• AptX Low Latency codec will not be active in TWS mode. The VGtx will indicate an active
AptX Low Latency connection when the PWR/LLC LED indicator is Yellow.

Detailed Instructions
Power on/off
The VGtx supports mini USB power. Connect one end of the included USB power
cable to the VGtx USB jack; connect the other end to the included or a compati-
ble USB power supply unit (5V/500mA), computer, or television USB port. Any
USB charger that is rated at an output of 5V@500mA or higher is compatible
and may be used with the VGtx.
Connecting Cables
The VGtx ships with the following audio cables:
• (3ft) 3.5mm to 3.5mm analog audio cable
• (3ft) TOSLink optical digital audio cable
The audio lag will
be around
38ms ± 5ms
70ms ± 10ms
220ms ± 50ms
Optional Cable – Fiber Optic
A TOSLink digital optical cable can be used with the VGtx. The audio source, E.g.
smartphone, TV, "Digital output"will be connected to the VGtx "Digital Input".
* The VGtx digital input will only recognize/decode stereo streams, not Dolby/
DTS encoded, etc. The optical "pass-through" will however pass through both
encoded and stereo type streams.
Optical Output – TV Applications - Outdoors
The VGtx Optical output is a "pass-through" circuit. The Optical output of the VGtx
can be used with TV audio via the TV's Optical output even though an existing
soundbar or home theater amplifier is already connected to the TV's Optical out-
put (most TV's only have 1 Optical output). Please see image A.(Next page) The
optical "pass-through" circuit is active when the unit is turned off, but the VGtx
must have power in order for the "pass-through" to operate.
The VGtx can be installed in an outdoor TV application. The VGtx can be mounted
behind a TV and fastened to a hard surface (mounting bracket, wall) utilizing the
adjustable mounting tabs. The VGtx must be mounted with the front of the unit
facing up to ensure a long-life expectancy.
Please see image B. (Next page)
Note 1:
The VGtx requires an audio input source like a computer, tablet, smartphone,
television or stereo system, etc. that can offer the VGtx an audio signal/music
to transmit. The cable being used must be connected to the appropriate input:
either 3.5mm to the "Analog Input", or optical digital to the "Digital Input".
Note 2:
The included USB cable with is for USB power only and does not offer an audio
or data type connection. For optimal performance, always use the provided USB
cable with your VGtx.
