Frequently Asked Questions - SOUND4BTWS Monacor

How to connect a Bluetooth source?

To connect a Bluetooth source, press the ✝ button on the remote control to switch to Bluetooth mode. The blue Bluetooth LED flashes. Enable Bluetooth on your source (smartphone, tablet) and select "BT Speaker" from the list. Once paired, the blue LED stays on. The source must support the A2DP profile for audio transmission.

How to use the remote control?

Aim the remote control at the window on the front of the active speaker. Use the buttons to turn on/off (POWER), select the source (AUX1, AUX2, OPT, ✝ for Bluetooth), adjust volume (VOL+/VOL-), mute (MUTE), and control Bluetooth playback (I◀◀, ▶II, ▶▶I). Avoid obstacles between the remote and the speaker.

What to do if the sound is cut off?

Check if the MUTE function is activated: the blue LED flashes. Press the MUTE button on the remote control again to restore sound. Also ensure the volume is not at minimum and the audio source is transmitting a signal.

How to clean the speakers?

Use only a dry soft cloth. Never use chemicals, alcohol or water, as they may damage the surface. Unplug the speaker before cleaning.

Where to place the speakers?

Place the speakers on a flat surface, facing the listening area. The tweeters should be at ear level if possible. Keep speakers away from walls and corners to avoid frequency response distortion and allow proper heat dissipation from the amplifier.

How to connect a subwoofer?

Use the SUB OUT output (RCA connector) on the rear of the active speaker. Connect an active subwoofer or device with a line input. The stereo signal is internally mixed to mono for this output.

What is the amplifier power?

The built-in Class D amplifier delivers RMS power of 2 x 30 W and maximum power of 2 x 50 W. It powers the active speaker (left channel) and the passive speaker (right channel).

What does the flashing of the LEDs mean?

The blue LED flashes when the sound is muted (MUTE). The red Standby LED shines in standby mode. The blue Bluetooth LED flashes when no Bluetooth connection exists and stays solid when connected.

How to replace the battery of the remote control?

Push the battery holder lock to the right while pulling out the holder. Replace the battery with a 3 V CR2025 button cell, positive pole facing up. Reinsert the holder. Do not dispose of used batteries in household waste.

2 Safety Notes

The units correspond to all relevant directives of the EU and are therefore marked with C€.

WARNING

The active speaker system uses dangerous mains voltage. Leave servicing to skilled personnel only. Inexpert handling of the unit may result in electric shock.

• The units are suitable for indoor use only. Protect them against dripping water and splash water, high air humidity and heat (admissible ambient temperature range 0–40 °C).
• Do not place any vessel filled with liquid on the speaker systems, e. g. a drinking glass.

• Immediately disconnect the mains plug from the socket

• if the speaker systems or the mains cable are visibly damaged,

• if a defect might have occurred after a unit was dropped or suffered a similar accident,
• if malfunctions occur.

In any case the units must be repaired by skilled personnel.

• Never pull the mains cable to disconnect the mains plug from the socket; always seize the plug.
• For cleaning only use a dry, soft cloth; never use water or chemicals.

- No guarantee claims for the units and no liability for any resulting personal damage or material damage will be accepted if the units are used for other purposes than originally intended, if they not correctly connected or operated, or if they not repaired in an expert way.

If the units are to be put out of operation definitively, take them to a local recycling plant for a disposal which is not harmful to the environment.

3 Applications

This set of stereo speakers is ideally suited for sound reproduction in smaller rooms (e.g. hi-fi applications or computer applications or in a home recording studio). The set consists of an active speaker system with an integrated 2-channel amplifier (class D) and of a passive speaker system. Each speaker system is designed as a 2-way bass reflex system (bass speaker and dome tweeter). The set includes an infrared remote control.

The set of speakers is equally designed for wireless operation with a Bluetooth audio source (e. g. smartphone, tablet PC) and for operation with connected audio sources (e. g. CD or DVD player, PC). For connection of the audio sources, two analog line inputs and an optical digital input are available. A subsequent unit, e. g. an active subwoofer system, can be connected via a mono line output.

4 Setup/Connection

Set up the speaker systems on an even surface and align them towards the ears of the audience. The tweeters should be at ear level, if possible.

Do not cover the bass reflex openings and do not place the speaker systems too close to walls or in corners; this would distort the frequency response and adversely affect the heat dissipation of the integrated amplifier.

Always switch off the SOUND-4BT/WS prior to connection/disconnection.

1) The active speaker system reproduces the left stereo channel; the passive speaker system reproduces the right stereo channel.

Connect the two speaker systems with each other via their speaker terminals (4), observing the polarity (connect terminals of the same colour).

2) For the connection of audio sources (e.g. CD or DVD player, mixer, MP3 player, notebook, PC, etc.), three inputs (2) are available:

- OPTICAL IN: optical digital input via a Toslink jack

• AUX 2: line signal level input via a 3.5 mm stereo jack
• AUX 1: line signal level input via RCA jacks (left L/right R)

3) The stereo input signal is internally mixed to a mono signal for the output SUB OUT (3). An active subwoofer system or a different unit equipped with a line input can be connected to this RCA jack.
4) First connect the mains cable supplied to the mains jack (6) and then connect the mains plug of the cable to a socket (230V/50Hz).

5 Remote Control

The remote control is supplied with a battery. Prior to initial operation, remove the protective film from the battery support. When pressing a button, always point the remote control to the window (1) of the active speaker system. Make sure that there are no obstacles between the window and the remote control.

If the remote control is not used for a longer time, remove the battery as a precaution so that the remote control will not be damaged in case the battery should leak.

5.1 Replacing the battery

1) Push the latch of the battery support to the right (first arrow in figure 5) and pull out the support (second arrow).

⑤ 1. 2.

2) Remove the discharged battery and insert the new battery (3 V button cell of type CR 2025) in the support, positive pole facing upwards.

3) Push the support back into the remote control.

Never put batteries in the household waste. To protect the environment, always take them to a special waste disposal, e. g. collection container at your retailer.

6 Operation

Note: To prevent switching noise, always switch on the units connected before switching on the SOUND-4BT/WS. After use, switch off the SOUND-4BT/WS first.

1) To switch on the SOUND-4BT/WS, use the POWER switch (5). The blue power indicator in the upper section of the window (1) will light up.
2) To switch between the audio sources, press the respective button on the remote control:
AUX 1 = source at the input AUX 1
AUX 2 = source at the input AUX 2
OPT = source at the input OPTICAL IN
* = Bluetooth mode; the blue Bluetooth indicator in the lower section of the window (1) will light up Information on operation with a Bluetooth source can be found in chapter 6.1.

3) To adjust the volume, use the buttons VOL+ and VOL- on the remote control.

CAUTION

Never adjust a very high volume. Permanent high volumes may damage your hearing! Your ear will get accustomed to high volumes which do not seem to be that high after some time. Therefore, do not further increase a high volume after getting used to it.

4) To mute the sound, press the button MUTE on the remote control. When the sound is muted, the blue power indicator in the upper section of the window (1) will flash. To unmute the sound, press the button again.

5) To switch to the standby mode, press the button POWER on the remote control. In the upper section of the window (1), the blue power indicator will extinguish and the red standby indicator will light up. To switch on the SOUND-4BT/WS, press the button POWER again.

Auto standby:

- when AUX 1, AUX 2 or OPTICAL IN has been selected: If the SOUND-4BT/WS does not receive any audio signal via the respective input, it will automatically switch to the standby mode after 15 minutes.

- in the Bluetooth mode: If the SOUND-4BT/WS does not receive any audio signal from a Bluetooth source, it will automatically switch to the standby mode after 15 minutes. If the Bluetooth connection is still available (e.g. because the source has not been switched off but set to pause), the SOUND-4BT/WS can be switched on again by starting the replay at the source.

6) To switch off the SOUND-4BT/WS, use the POWER switch (5).

6.1 Operation with a Bluetooth source
