Preparing for your Audio Radar setup involves gathering a few essential items to ensure a seamless installation. Here's a checklist of everything you'll need to get started.

Required Items:

• 2 HDMI 2.1 Cables: We recommend Anker HDMI or comparable HDMI 4K@120hz or 8K@60hz
  OR, 
• 1 HDMI 2.1 & 1 DisplayPort: Checkout this article How to Use DisplayPort with Audio Radar  for more help.
• Monitor or Television: Ensure your display has room for the light bars, which are ideally suited for screens 24"/60.96cm or larger.
  

  Have a thin, ultra-thin or OLED TV or monitor?

  We offer 3D printed L-brackets designed to assist with mounting light bars to thin TVs or monitors, ensuring a secure and stable setup, even on slim displays. You can find them here: L-Bracket Kit

   
• 3.5mm Audio Cable (Optional): Needed if you plan to use the headphone/mic passthrough feature on a PC.
• HDMI-Compatible Console or PC: Your gaming device should support HDMI connections for optimal performance.

Additional Item for International Customers:

Audio Radar comes with a standard Type A US plug. For international customers, either of these options will work for your power supply needs:

• IEC 60320 C7 Cable: Choose a cable with an electrical plug suitable for your region and easily switch out the portion of the power supply. For example, a C7 Figure 8 Non-Polarized 2 Prong European Power Cord, or similar, works for the EU.
  OR, 
• An Electrical Adapter: Use an appropriate electrical adapter to convert the US plug for use in your country.

Recommended Items:

1. Cleaning Supplies: Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe down the surfaces of your display and light bars for proper adhesion.
2. 3M Command Strips: While these are included, having extra on hand can be useful for repositioning or additional setups.

By ensuring you have these items ready before your Audio Radar arrives, you can look forward to a smooth and hassle-free setup. For more detailed information and installation guides, check our our Full User Manual.
