Frequently Asked Questions - Breeze XL Quadral

How to connect my smartphone via Bluetooth to the Quadral Breeze XL?

Select the Bluetooth input on the speaker by briefly pressing the front knob. The LED flashes blue. On your smartphone, enable Bluetooth and search for 'quadral Breeze blue XL' in the device list. Select it to establish the connection. The LED then turns solid blue.

What to do if I have no sound from a Bluetooth source?

Check that the volume on your smartphone and the speaker is not muted or too low. Make sure no other app is using Bluetooth. Turn the speakers off and on again. If the problem persists, remove the device from the Bluetooth list and reconnect it.

Can I use a wired source at the same time as Bluetooth?

No, only one source can be active at a time. To change the source, briefly press the front knob until the desired input is selected (RCA, optical, 3.5 mm or Bluetooth).

How to clean the Quadral Breeze XL speakers?

Use a lint-free cotton cloth slightly dampened with glass cleaner. Do not use a microfiber cloth which could scratch the surface.

Can I connect an external subwoofer?

Yes, the speaker has a Sub Out (mono RCA) output that delivers a low-pass filtered signal. Connect an active subwoofer using an RCA cable.

The speaker turns off by itself, is that normal?

Yes, the speaker automatically goes into standby after 60 minutes without an audio signal. To wake it up, press the front knob or the standby button on the remote control.

How to replace the remote control battery?

Slide open the battery compartment on the back of the remote control. Remove the used battery (CR2025) and insert a new one, respecting the polarity (+ facing up). Close the compartment.

What to do if the Bluetooth connection keeps dropping?

Move your device closer to the speaker (maximum range about 10 meters). Avoid metal obstacles. If the problem persists, unpair and reconnect. Also check that no other Bluetooth device is connected.

Can I use the speaker outdoors?

THANK YOU!

First of all we would like to thank you for your decision to purchase our quadral breeze. We manufacture top-quality audio products that satisfy the requirements of lovers of "excellent sound reproduction" and our equipment is far above the average. Even if you already know a lot about this type of equipment, we will introduce some basic rules in the following that will enable you to get the best out of your new equipment.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Please read these instructions carefully and follow all of the steps listed here for installing the equipment. You must abide by all of the warnings and safety instructions that are stipulated on the unit and in this instruction manual. Keep this instruction manual in a safe place.

• Do not swallow a battery. There is a risk of electric shock. The accompanying remote control contains a round cell battery. Keep new and used batteries out of the reach of children. If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the remote control and keep it away from children. Empty batteries must be disposed of promptly and correctly. Do not try to recharge the battery.
  The cable must not be squashed. Lay the cable so that it cannot be damaged by furniture and that you avoid tripping over them.

Take the power plug out of the socket during lightning storms or if the equipment will not be used for a long time. Pull the power plug out of the socket, not the cable.
- Never use the product in the vicinity of water, in humid areas or outdoors. Moisture can bypass the electrical insulation and this will create a life-threatening risk as is the case with all equipment that has not been specially designed against the penetration of moisture. You must also ensure that no vessels containing liquid (e.g. vases) are placed on top of the equipment.
- Do not place the equipment in the vicinity of a heat source such as an electric fire, radiator, oven or similar.
The slits and openings in the enclosure provide the ventilation and ensure reliable operation. They must never be misaligned or covered.
- Burning-out of specific components cannot be completely excluded, despite the use of protective devices, if the equipment is severely overloaded by continually using very loud sound levels. A fire might also be caused inside the equipment in theory, as a result of this type of overloading. Therefore the amplifier should always be used within its limits and not be left unattended.
- Maintenance of your device is only to be carried out by the technical service department. Maintenance will be necessary if any type of damage occurs, i.e. if the power cable or plugs are damaged, if an object falls on the device, if the device is dropped or if liquid seeps into it. Never open the equipment as you might touch the mains voltage (230V / 115V), which is dangerous.
- Only use furniture and other units for attaching and putting the equipment on that can be obtained from or are recommended by the manufacturer. Ensure that moveable table-top units or shelves on which the product will be placed are always moved very carefully in order to prevent damage or injuries from being caused if the device topples over.
- Continuously loud volume can damage your hearing!
- Keep the packing for possible transportation later on and keep the plastic bag well away from children, due to the risk of asphyxiation.

5. INSTALLING

Breeze quadr+ ARL 07 338 SR BXL 0001 15 - 04 8 10 SR BXL 0001 15 - 04 8 10 Breeze quadr+

1. Ensure that the device is switched off.
2. Use the enclosed connection cable to connect the active and passive speakers.
3. Connect the device to the power supply using the enclosed power cable.
4. Now connect up the source devices at your disposal.
5. Now switch the device on using the mains switch (7) fitted on the back of the device.
6. Press the knob (2) on the front panel for 3 seconds and then select the source that you want by briefly pressing the knob (2) again.

SCREW TERMINALS

There is a connection field on the back of each box with colour-coded screw terminals for connecting up the speaker cable. Unscrew the screw terminals and insert the stripped end of the cable into the hole that is now open. One wire is marked in colour or by shape in the speaker cable. Screw this positive lead into the red terminal and the other lead into the black terminal. Hand-tighten the screws. Now check that the connection to the active speaker is correct to ensure correct polarity. The marked wire goes to the (+) pole again here and the other to the black (-) screw terminal.

5. SUBWOOFER CONNECTION

Use a mono chinch cable to connect an active subwoofer to your breeze.

Sub Out has a low-pass filter. This ensures that only the very low signals are passed on to the subwoofer. It is not possible to reset the crossover frequency on the breeze.

6. BLUETOOTH CONNECTION

1. The indicator on the front will start to flash rhythmically when BT input is selected. The connection will be established automatically if the source has already been connected up to breeze blue XL and the indicator light will be permanently blue.

2. Press the rotary knob (2) on the front of the device for 3 seconds if you want to create a new connection to a device. The indicator will flash quickly and your breeze blue XL will send out a pairing signal to create the connection.

3. "quadral breeze blue XL" will now be displayed in the Bluetooth settings on your device. The permanent connection will be made as soon as you confirm this on the device. The indicator on your breeze blue will then be a continuous blue light.

4. You can adjust the volume on your device (smartphone or PC) using the rotary knob (2) on the front of the device or the volume control on the remote control.

Note:

Only one device can be connected up to the breeze at any time. You must disable the first device's Bluetooth feature if you want to use a second device.

Breeze blue XL will be automatically connected to the last connected Bluetooth device after it is switched on.

7. CLEANING THE SPEAKERS

Use a lint-free cotton cloth and a little glass cleaner to remove dirt and fingerprints from the enclosure. Never use microfibre cloths! They can cause small surface scratches.
