1.0 Summary of Test Result
This report certifies that the sample of the equipment under test (EUT) complies with the requirements of FCC Part 15, Subpart C for Intentional Radiators, as per 47 CFR [10-1-23]. Key test specifications met include Transmitter Radiated Emission, Band Edge, Conducted Emission, and 20dB Bandwidth, all resulting in a 'Pass' status.
The EUT utilizes an Integral Antenna, deemed compliant with FCC Section 15.203.
2.0 General Description
The Equipment Under Test (EUT) is a Rear Surround Speaker operating in the 5.8GHz band (5729-5851MHz) using GFSK modulation. It is powered by AC 100-240V, 50/60Hz. The models R652, A652, AX5100QAU, and TS5100Q are hardware-identical to the AX5100Q, with model and brand name differences serving as marketing strategies.
Testing was performed according to ANSI C63.10 (2013) standards in Semi-anechoic chambers and shield rooms at Intertek Testing Services Shenzhen Ltd. Longhua Branch.
3.0 System Test Configuration
The system was configured for testing in a typical customer usage scenario. The EUT was powered by AC 120V, 60Hz. For radiated emission maximization, the EUT was rotated 360°, antenna height was varied from 1 to 4 meters, and polarization was changed. The EUT and transmitting antenna were centered on a turntable. No special EUT exercising software or accessories were used, and no modifications were made by the testing laboratory.

The 20dB bandwidth of the emission was measured and found to be contained within the designated frequency band, consistent with FCC Part 15 Section 15.215(c).
9.3 Discussion of Pulse Desensitization
Pulse desensitization is not applicable as the transmitter operates continuously.
9.4 Transmitter Duty Cycle Calculation
Duty cycle was not used for this device as the transmitter operates continuously.
9.5 Emissions Test Procedures
Tests were conducted following ANSI C63.10-2013. Radiated emissions were measured with the EUT on a turntable, varying antenna height and polarization to find maximum emissions. Detector function for radiated emissions was peak mode. Conducted emissions were measured from 150 kHz to 30 MHz using QP & AV modes with a 9 kHz IFBW.
