FAQs

Do I need an amplifier for these speakers?

No, these are 'Active' speakers, meaning each kit includes a built-in amplifier within one of the speakers, so no external amplifier is required.

How do I connect multiple speaker kits together?

Connect the 'LINE OUT' port on the first active speaker to the 'LINE IN' port on the next active speaker using the provided RCA cable. Repeat this process for any additional kits.

Can I connect to these speakers using Wi-Fi?

No, these speakers utilize Bluetooth for wireless audio streaming. They are not Wi-Fi enabled.

What is the maximum range for Bluetooth?

Typically, Bluetooth offers a range of up to 10 meters (33 feet) in open space, though this can be affected by obstructions and interference.

Can I paint the speaker grilles to match my decor?

Yes, the magnetic frameless grilles can be removed and repainted to match your room's aesthetic. Ensure you use a paint suitable for fine mesh and avoid clogging the mesh itself.

What is the total power output of a single kit?

Each kit provides a maximum output of 50W (2 x 25W), powering a pair of speakers.

How do I connect my smart home assistant (e.g., Echo, Google Home)?

Simply pair your smart home assistant via Bluetooth to the primary active speaker, similar to how you would pair a phone. The system is designed for easy pairing with these devices.

Troubleshooting

No sound from speakers

Ensure the active speaker is powered on and the power supply is securely connected. Check that your audio device is connected via Bluetooth to the *correct* primary active speaker and volume is turned up. Verify speaker cables are correctly attached between active and passive units.

Bluetooth connection failing

Make sure the speaker is in pairing mode (usually indicated by a flashing light). Ensure your audio device's Bluetooth is enabled and within range. Try turning Bluetooth off and on again on your device, or restart the speaker by unplugging its power supply.

Sound only from one speaker in a pair

Check the speaker cable connecting the active and passive speakers. Ensure it is firmly seated at both ends. If using multiple kits, confirm the RCA connection between active speakers is secure.

Poor audio quality or intermittent connection

Minimize the distance between your audio device and the primary active speaker. Ensure there are no major obstructions or sources of interference (like microwaves) between the devices. Update your audio device's operating system if possible.

Subsequent kits not playing audio

Verify that the RCA cable is correctly connected from the 'LINE OUT' of one active speaker to the 'LINE IN' of the next active speaker. Ensure all kits have a power supply connected.
