Important note: As of November 2021, Waves Audio no longer sells or supports the Nx desktop standalone application for Mac and PC. Click here for more information.
To connect the Nx Head Tracker Bluetooth device with the Waves Nx application for 3D audio on your Mac or Windows computer, follow these instructions.
Important – before connecting the Nx Head Tracker, do the following:
OS X
Bluetooth must be turned on in order for the Nx Head Tracker to function. If Bluetooth is off, go to System Preferences > Bluetooth and click on ‘Turn Bluetooth On.’
Windows
In order for the Nx Head Tracker to connect with the Waves Nx app, you must first pair the device through Windows’ Bluetooth Devices Settings.
Note: These steps must be taken before initial connection to your computer. If you disconnect the Nx Head Tracker from the Bluetooth settings menu, you will need to pair it again.
Pairing Instructions (Windows and Mac)
Now position yourself in front of the computer, and press the Sweet Spot. This will now be your center position.
To get the most out of Nx, it is highly recommended that you set the values in the Personalization section to your own individual head measurements. If you choose not to enter your personal head measurements, it is recommended that you stick with the default values, which are the average for the human population. Radical departures from the recommended values will seriously distort the effect.
Disconnecting the Nx Head Tracker
To preserve battery life, the Nx Head Tracker will automatically shut down if you do not move for ten minutes. You can also turn it off by holding the button for more than two seconds.
