Welcome to the Audeze Penrose Experience
Hey there, thanks for joining us-- we're glad to have you on our team! Whether you use Penrose with your gaming console, PC, phone or
other source, we know you'll get a lot of use out of it. We created this guide to help you get the utmost enjoyment from Penrose, so please
read on for the uber-important details! We promise to keep things fun and brief.
Getting Started with Penrose
• Plug in the microphone by inserting into the Mic Port and aligning the flat sides. Press firmly to fully insert.
• Slide the Mic Mute Switch on Penrose's left earcup to the UP position to unmute.
• Adjust headband size by sliding in/out above the Audeze A logo.
• Power-on Penrose by pressing the Power Button for about 3 seconds. 1 one-thousand, 2 one-thousand, 3 one-thousand...
• Connect to your source device using 2.4GHz Wireless, AUX or Bluetooth (BT). See below for instructions on each connection method.
• Adjust Headphone Volume and Microphone Volume by turning the corresponding adjustment wheels on the left earcup. Not too loud,
now, don't hurt yourself.
• To fully charge Penrose's battery, connect a USB-C cable between the port on the headphones and a 5V/1A charger.
• Further customize your Penrose experience with the Audeze HQ app for Windows, Mac and Android, available at
www.audeze.com/AudezeHQ
• Have fun storming the castle!
Charging, Adjusting Volume and Powering On/Off
You took the time to fully charge your Penrose after unpacking, right? Of course you didn't, and we don't blame you! There should be
sufficient charge in the battery to get you started, but if you find Penrose starting to misbehave, please pause to plug in to an approved
power source. We suggest a USB charger of 5V/1A, like the one you might use for your mobile communication device. In a pinch you can
use most computer USB ports (results may vary).
Penrose should charge automatically once connected to a power source: the LED on the left earcup will flash slowly while charging, then
stop flashing at full charge. Charging with a 1A charger should take about 3 hours with power off, from 0% to 100%. Speaking of full charge,
the battery inside Penrose should last about 15 hours before running out of juice. At that point, you should probably take a break, too. (Mom,
get outta here...) You can charge and play at the same time, so don't fret, just plug in and carry on!

Summary of Contents for Audeze Penrose

  • Page 1 Hey there, thanks for joining us-- we’re glad to have you on our team! Whether you use Penrose with your gaming console, PC, phone or other source, we know you’ll get a lot of use out of it. We created this guide to help you get the utmost enjoyment from Penrose, so please read on for the uber-important details! We promise to keep things fun and brief.
  • Page 2 To connect using 2.4gHz Wireless: The Penrose X USB adapter has a two-position slider switch on one side. Slide the switch to the XBOX position for Xbox use, and to the PC position for other sources. (The PS version of Penrose does not have this switch.) Insert the included USB-A dongle fully into the proper port of your console or PC.
  • Page 3 Microphone Use and Chat/Game Mix Setup Test 1, 2... Can you hear me now? In order to level-up your chat status, plug the mic into the Penrose port with the Mic symbol. Align the flat side of the mic plug with the flat side of the port and push the mic in firmly. Then, be sure the Mic Mute Switch on the upper part of the left earcup is flipped UP.
  • Page 4 Since Penrose is an active headphone, it must be powered ON for the AUX connection to work. Incoming analog audio signals pass through Penrose’s built-in ADC, are processed by the DSP, and then go to the DAC and AMP before being shuttled back out to your EARS.
  • Page 5 Since Penrose has an analog input port, it can technically be used with any source that provides an analog signal. However, use of an amp that provides greater than line level output (such as some headphone amps) can cause clipping, distortion, and possible damage, and is not recommended.

    • Support, Care, and Feeding your Penrose • To clean Penrose, simply wipe it down regularly with a clean, soft towel. You can use a little clean water if needed, but don’t use any harsh chemical cleaners, abrasives, C-4, TNT, or other dangerous substances. (Explosions and chemical meltdowns are not covered by warranty.)
  • Page 7 Volume Control wheel on the side of Penrose's left earcup. • Can’t control mic gain using Penrose’s Mic Volume wheel? In AUX mode, the wheel is disabled and you must use the gain controls on your source device.
