How to Set Up Your Zed Silent Disco Headphones

Setting up your Zed headphones with your Silent Disco transmitters is quick and straightforward. Follow these steps to get going in seconds:

  1. Check Your Battery & Transmitters: Ensure your Zed battery is fully charged and securely clicked into place. Turn on your Silent Disco transmitters (such as the Falcon) and start playing music on each active channel.
  2. Check Battery Level: Quick-press the power button to check the Batterysense LED indicator-this lets you confirm charge levels instantly before using the headphones .
  3. Power On the Headphones: Press and hold the Power button for 2 seconds until the ear-cup lights illuminate to signal that the headset is active.
  4. Choose Your Channel: Tap the Channel Select / Scan button to toggle between Channel 1, Channel 2, and Channel 3 (depending on how many transmitters you are using). The ear-cup LED lights will switch colors accordingly so you know which feed you are listening to.
  5. Adjust Volume & Light Settings: Scroll the intuitive volume wheel to set your listening level. You can also press and hold the volume dial to cycle LED modes between static, flashing, or lights-off mode.
Pro Tip (Zero Downtime): Using the optional 50-bay Zed Charging Station, you can keep a secondary set of batteries charging on the side. When a headset runs low, simply swap the battery in 5 seconds and keep the event going without taking the headphones out of service!
