The science of sound development

Recommendations for use

Important:

Carefully read the complete instruction

booklet before use.

1. Unpack Ritmo and ensure that all

the components are complete and

undamaged.

2. Charge the Controller for 12-14 hours

before initial use (see Ritmo Audio

Research in human fetal development

shows that babies exposed to music,

while

in-utero, display advanced

intelligence, coordination, and learning

abilities.

A fetus can hear clearly from 17 weeks

of pregnancy; Listening together, you

and your baby stay in tune.

Babies remember and process sounds

heard prenatally and learn

to link them with emotions

and moods.

You and your baby

can enjoy sensory and

emotional benefits while

relaxing together.

Research on optimal

volumes for fetal

hearing and wellbeing

inspired Ritmo’s patented

Safe&Sound Technology.
