CONNECTING MULTIPLE SPEAKERS

When several speakers are connected, the signal shared between them is that of the player (USB, microSD, Bluetooth, FM or Line In). In case you want to listen to the wireless microphones, the speakers have a UHF receiver of the same frequency, that is to say, using one of the microphones of each frequency, the signal will be received and reproduced in both speakers. WIRED You can daisy-chain several speakers by interconnecting the LINE OUT PLAYER output with the LINE IN input, so they will all play the same signal.EN

FUNCIÓN TWS (TRUE WIRELESS STEREO) The TWS function allows the player’s audio (USB, microSD, Bluetooth, FM or LINE IN) to be played through 2 speakers in stereo. For this function there will always be a master speaker playing the left channel of the stereo signal, and a slave speaker playing the right channel. To do this you must have 2 MALIBU-308, MALIBU-310, MALIBU-312 or MALIBU-315 speakers and follow these steps: 1.- Turn both MALIBU speakers on and activated Bluetooth mode. 2.- On the slave speaker, press the TWS button and SLAU will both show and flash on the display.. 3.- Wait a few seconds, the displays on both speakers will stop flashing indicating that they are connected. 4.- Select the playback mode on the master speaker and start playback. Both speakers can be used to control the player’s functions: , , and . But it will only be possible to switch modes from the master loudspeaker. NOTE: all other speaker inputs such as MIC or GUITAR will only be heard through the speaker to which they are connected. Please note that if the wireless microphones of both loudspeakers are of the same frequency, both cannot be used.

CONNECTION AND OPERATION

- Before making any connections: - Make sure that all equipment is switched off and disconnected from the power supply socket. - Check the condition of the speaker battery and the wireless microphone batteries. - Set the volume controls to minimum. - Connect the device(s) you need: - USB device in the USB port. - MicroSD card in the microSD slot. - PC, tablet, smartphone, etc. in the LINE IN input. - Microphone cable in inputs MIC 1 and MIC 2. - For Bluetooth mode you will have to wait for the speaker to turn on and pair it. - Turn on the devices connected in the previous step and the wireless microphones, and lastly, turn on the loudspeaker. You can use the MALIBU powered directly from the mains or using the internal battery. - Select the operating mode and adjust the PLAYER VOL and MIC VOL volume controls. NOTE: if a microphone (wireless and/or wired) is to be used, be sure not to stand in front of the loudspeaker and at a distance to avoid feedback and other disturbing noises. - After use, do not forget to switch off and disconnect the equipment from the mains.EN
