FAQs
Can I connect a subwoofer to these speakers?
The SW208 does not feature a dedicated subwoofer output, so a secondary subwoofer cannot be easily integrated.
Do the speakers require an external amplifier?
No, the SW208 speakers are 'active,' meaning they have a built-in power amplifier.
How do I switch between input modes?
The speakers will typically default to the connected source or can be toggled via the controls or by disconnecting the USB/Aux cable to trigger Bluetooth mode.
Are the speakers shielded against magnetic interference?
Yes, they are designed with noise-filtering components to minimize interference from nearby electronics.
Does the speaker remember volume settings?
The speakers typically reset to a default volume level upon power cycling.
Troubleshooting
No sound output from speakers
Verify the speaker wire is securely connected to both terminals and ensure the source device volume is not muted.
Bluetooth connection drops out
Ensure the source device is within 10 meters and there are no large metal objects blocking the signal path.
Distorted sound at high volumes
Lower the volume on the source device and adjust the bass/treble knobs to ensure the signal is not being overdriven.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the SW208, connect the included speaker wire between the left and right units using the spring-clip terminals. Connect your audio source via the preferred method: USB for PC/Mac, the 3.5mm input for analog devices, or Bluetooth for wireless streaming. For optimal performance, position the speakers at ear level and angled slightly toward the listener. To maintain the equipment, use a dry microfiber cloth to dust the cabinet and the carbon fiber drivers. Avoid placing the speakers in direct sunlight or in areas with high humidity, and ensure there is adequate clearance around the rear vents for heat dissipation.
