Connect EP 01 to a wired audio source

Learn how to use the optional Low-Latency Gaming Cable with your EP 01, so you can connect to wired-only audio sources and avoid the audio delay of Bluetooth.

How to connect the Low-Latency Gaming Cable:

1. Connect the 3.5 mm plug of the Low-Latency Gaming Cable to the headphone jack of your wired audio source (e.g. a gaming controller, a media player, a musical instrument).
2. Connect the magnetic connectors of the Low-Latency Cable to the charging ports on the back of your EP 01.

What happens when you connect the Low-Latency Gaming Cable connects?

When the Low-Latency Gaming Cable connects to your EP 01, a few things change:

• The button light on your EP 01 blink cyan rapidly four times to confirm that a a secure connection is made.
• Your Bluetooth headphones, if connected, will disconnect from EP 01.
• Why? Because all Bluetooth headphones have a delay that would eliminate the low-latency benefits of the Low-Latency Gaming Cable. Learn more about Bluetooth latency.
• If your phone was streaming sound to your EP 01, playback will stop.
• EP 01 switches audio source from Bluetooth audio to the Low-Latency Gaming Cable.
• The device status in the Drop Labs app changes to “Connected to Low-Latency Gaming Cable”.
• If you try to play audio from your phone (e.g. play something in a music app), EP 01 will immediately stop that playback as long as the Low-Latency Gaming Cable is connected to your EP 01.

Adjusting intensity while the Low-Latency Gaming Cable is connected

Use the Drop Labs app to adjust the intensity of sensation, same as you would while connected to a Bluetooth.
