Troubleshooting
No sound is coming from the speakers.
Check all cable connections (power, speaker wire, and audio input). Ensure the speakers are powered on and the correct input is selected. Verify the volume level on both the speakers and the audio source.
Bluetooth connection is unstable or not connecting.
Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your device. Ensure the speakers are in pairing mode. Move your device closer to the speakers to reduce potential interference.
Distorted sound or poor audio quality.
Check the speaker placement. Make sure nothing is blocking the speakers. Lower the volume level and check the audio source.
One speaker isn't working.
Check the speaker wire connection between the speakers. Ensure the speaker wire is securely connected to both the primary and secondary speakers. If the issue continues, try swapping the speakers to see if the problem persists on the same speaker, which may indicate a faulty speaker.
