I want to set up a 5.1 system with the citation towers, soundbar, sub, and the wireless surrounds with a regular non wisa tv. Do I need a device like the Axiim q uhd media center or the citation adapt or both to connect to my tv?

Asked by: Gio8708
It's not necessary to have an Axiim UHD media with the Citation. You can setup the citation devices as long as you have either the Citation Soundbar, or the Citation adapt. In your scenario, You'll only need the Citation Soundbar(main/center), Towers(Front L/R), Surrounds(surround L/R) and sub and you're all set.

Can you only use Citation Adapt with Tower or can 100 or 300 be used instead for front speakers? and really sorry that it only runs 2,1 since many tvs cannot have a whole soundbar below it for 5.1. ex LG wallpaper and samsung Q series w. fiber cable.

Asked by: mOliver
The Citation adapt only works with the Tower and sub as the Citation x00 can only be used as music player and can't be used as surround system. For full 5.1 set up you can use the Citation Bar(center), Citation Tower(front), Citation Surround(rear), and Citation Sub(Subwoofer)

Will this work for a 5.1 setup without the sound bar? Since it is Wisa it should be able to also support other wisa speakers in addition to the amazing looking Citation towers. Was thinking of mixing to make a 5.1 wireless wisa setup. Thanks.&nbsp;

Asked by: Mapezzul
The HK Citation Adapt can only do a 2.1 Surround system set-up by adding a Citation Tower &amp; Citation Sub to it. For a 5.1 surround set-up, a Citation Bar is a must.

I just preordered the bar, towers, sub and surrounds. Am I all set for the 5.1 setup for everything to communicate with each other, or do I need to add the citation adapt receiver as well?

Asked by: Jazzy Jeff
Since you are setting up a 5.1 system, you no longer need the Citation ADAPT. When setting up a 5.1, the BAR acts as the brain and the center. When setting up a 2.1 system, because there is no center/bar, the ADAPT is needed.

Hi guys, will it be possible to connect a Bluetooth Headphone to Citation Adapt and Listen to the HDMI sources on this Headphone? (Would be a brilliant use case for me)

Asked by: Juergen F
The citation adapt's bluetooth function is only for receiving signals. Which means it can't connect to a bluetooth headphone.
