You can also daisy-chain multiple iX speakers using only the analogue connections, and then directly control the overall level from your mixer’s master fader.For example, you have four iX speakers and a mixer with simple left-right stereo outputs. For typical operation, set the DSP volume and input gain settings on all speakers to a fl at “0 dB” setting. Connect the mixer’s left and right stereo outputs to the fi rst two speakers’ analogue INPUT A connections (the left and right mixer outputs will go to separate speakers). Then, run cables from the OUTPUT analogue connections to the remaining two speakers. In a similar way, subwoofers can also be linked to the analogue OUTPUT. iX Series Bluetooth Instructions Bluetooth Connection To play audio from a Bluetooth-enabled device, you will need at least one iX speaker and an iPad*/ iPhone*/Android*/Windows* device with basic Bluetooth connectivity. With a basic Bluetooth connection, all related iX DSP functions must still be controlled directly from the iX rear panel via the rotary encoder. For Apple iOS devices, you can also download a dedicated TURBOSOUND iX Bluetooth app from the Apple App Store. This iX Bluetooth app allows you to control a single or stereo pair of iX speakers, including all DSP functions, remotely from your iOS device (see “Bluetooth Control” below for more information). Bluetooth Streaming To Stream Bluetooth Audio with Any Bluetooth Device (iPad/iPhone/Android/Windows, etc.) Mono operation

1. Enable Bluetooth on your remote device.

2. Switch on your iX speaker and minimize the volume.

3. Select “Pair device” from the SLAVE speaker’s Bluetooth menu.

4. Check that your remote device is searching for a connection.

5. Once your device detects the iX speaker, select the iX speaker from your remote device’s menu

(e.g., “TURBOSOUND iX12”).

6. Wait until the remote device shows an active connection, and then check the speaker’s Bluetooth menu,

which should display the name of the remote device (e.g., “Coolpad8150”).

7. Bluetooth music can now be streamed to your iX speaker. The stereo signal will automatically mix down

1. Complete the steps above to connect the fi rst speaker to Bluetooth audio.

2. The fi rst connected speaker automatically becomes the MASTER speaker.

3. Switch on the second speaker, which becomes the SLAVE speaker.

8. WAIT for the speakers to link.

9. Once the linking process is complete, Bluetooth audio will stream to the two speakers. The MASTER

speaker will receive the left channel, and the SLAVE speaker will receive the right channel.

10. MASTER and SLAVE connection will be indicated on the main, top-level DSP screens.

NOTE: These Bluetooth speakers can only link with another speaker of the same model (e.g., an iX 12 speaker can only be paired with another iX 12 speaker). Bluetooth Control A dedicated iOS control app for iX speakers can be downloaded from the Apple Store.

• • In both mono and stereo mode, fi rst pair the MASTER speaker, and then launch the iOS control app.

• • The iOS control app will automatically detect and adapt for mono or stereo mode.

• • To alter the speaker settings, swipe the screen or press the settings icon. All iX speaker settings can be accessed from the iOS control app. Main Page (1 speaker) Main Page (2 speakers linked) Settings/EQ Page IMPORTANT NOTE: The mounting of a permanently installed sound system may be dangerous unless undertaken by qualifi ed personnel with the required experience and certifi cation to perform the necessary tasks. Walls, fl oors or ceilings must be capable of safely and securely supporting the actual load. The mounting accessory used must be safely and securely fi xed both to the loudspeaker and to the wall, fl oor or ceiling. When mounting rigging components on walls, fl oors or ceilings, ensure that all fi xings and fasteners used are of an appropriate size and load rating. Wall and ceiling claddings, and the construction and composition of walls and ceilings, all need to be taken into account when determining whether a particular fi xing arrangement can be safely employed for a particular load. Cavity plugs or other specialist fi xings, if required, must be of an appropriate type, and must be fi tted and used in accordance with the maker’s instructions. The operation of your speaker cabinet as part of a fl own system, if installed incorrectly and improperly, can potentially expose persons to serious health risks and even death. In addition, please ensure that electrical, mechanical and acoustic considerations are discussed with qualifi ed and certifi ed (by local state or national authorities) personnel prior to any installation or fl ying. Make sure that speaker cabinets are set up and fl own by qualifi ed and certifi ed personnel only, using dedicated equipment and original parts and components delivered with the unit. If any parts or components are missing please contact your Dealer before attempting to set up the system. Be sure to observe the local, state and other safety regulations applicable in your country. MUSIC Group, including the MUSIC Group companies listed on the enclosed “Service Information Sheet”, assumes no liability for any damage or personal injury resulting from improper use, installation or operation of the product. Regular checks must be conducted by qualifi ed personnel to ensure that the system remains in a secure and stable condition. Make sure that, where the speaker is fl own, the area underneath the speaker is free of human traffi c. Do not fl y the speaker in areas that can be entered or used by members of the public. Speakers create a magnetic fi eld, even if not in operation. Therefore, please keep all materials that can be affected by such fi elds (discs, computers, monitors, etc) at a safe distance. A safe distance is usually between 1 and 2 metres.14 iX series Quick Start Guide
