ATTEnTiOn: The loudspeaker is equipped with an integrated amplifier and needs to be connected to a mains outlet by
means of the supplied mains cable. The voltage selector (11) has been set at the factory to 230 V for operation in Europe.
Warning: connecting the loudspeaker to a 230 V mains outlet while the voltage selector is set to 120 V will lead
to immediate destruction of the amplifier!

plEAsE nOTE: Only the right (master) speaker has a remote control sensor (see fig. 2, (4)). so always point
towards this.
(28) On/sTBy: Switch the speakers on if they are in standby mode. The right (master) speaker also switches the left
(slave) speaker on and off automatically. If the standby LEDs (Fig. 2, (1) and (5)) do not light up, you need to turn on the
power switches on the loudspeakers (Fig. 4, (10), Fig. 5, (22)). Conversely, the speakers can be switched from power
operation to standby.
(29) AuX: Switches the device to the analogue stereo input. AX is shown on the display.
(30) cOAX: Switches the device to the digital coaxial input. The orange LED status indicator (Fig. 1, (3)) illuminates. CO
is shown on the display.
(31) OpT: Switches the device to the optical coaxial input. The white LED status indicator (Fig. 1, (3)) illuminates. OP is
shown on the display
(32) usB: Switches the device to the USB input. UB is shown on the display.
(33) BT: Switches the device to the Bluetooth input. The blue LED status indicator (Fig. 1, (1)) flashes or illuminates
(see section System installation - Connecting to a Bluetooth audio source). BT is shown on the display.
(34) pAiR: Switches the device to the pairing mode when in Bluetooth operation to establish a connection to a Bluetooth
source device. The blue LED status indicator (Fig. 1, (1)) flashes quickly. The BT display flashes quickly.
(35/36) VOlumE: Increases (+) or decreases (-) the volume.
(37) muTE: Switches the sound on and off.
(38) plAy/pAusE: Pauses the current track on a Bluetooth device or resumes playback.
(39) sKip TRAcK BAcKWARds: Pressing this once starts the track currently being played on a Bluetooth source
device from the beginning. Repeatedly pressing the button allows you to skip to previous tracks.
(40) sKip TRAcK fORWARds: Pressing this once starts the track currently being played on a Bluetooth source device
from the beginning. Repeatedly pressing the button allows you to skip to subsequent tracks.
plEAsE nOTE: You may experience a short delay when activating Bluetooth functions via buttons 38, 39 and 40; this
is due to reasons of a technical nature. In addition, the control functions are also dependent on the individual Bluetooth
device.

Audio connection between the right (master) speaker and left (slave) speaker:
1. Wireless connection via "point to point" Bluetooth with aptX®. This enables a completely wireless stereo setup (apart
from the power cable) and, therefore, a particularly high level of comfort and convenience. The high-quality wireless
connection in CD quality means that there is no loss of sound.
When using for the first time, this connection has to be established once.
Turn on the power switch on each of the speakers; both speakers will then be in standby mode with the power LEDs
lighting up red. Now switch on the right (master) speaker via the remote control (Fig. 3, (7)) or using the controls at the
rear (Fig. 4, (10)). To initiate pairing, press the pairing button on the left (slave) speaker. This switches on the left (slave)
speaker and activates its pairing function; the wireless connection LED (Fig. 2, (6)) flashes quickly. Then press the pairing
button on the right (master) speaker; the wireless connection LED (Fig. 2, (2)) flashes quickly. The speakers connect after
a brief period, with the two LEDs lighting up solid blue. The speaker set is then ready for operation. This process only
has to be carried out once. After that, the connection is established automatically every time after switching on.
Please note that, for technical reasons, there is a slight delay in the audio signal playback in the event of a wireless
connection. However, this is irrelevant for pure audio application.
2. Connection via XLR audio cable
If you also want to use the speakers in conjunction with video content (e.g. TV sound playback), the speakers should be
connected using an XLR cable in order to guarantee lip-synch playback. To do this, connect the XLR cable supplied to
the sockets on the right (Fig. 4, (20)) and left speakers (Fig. 5, (26)). Both speakers should be switched off when doing
this. If the cable is too short, it can be exchanged for a high-quality XLR cable of the required length.
