FAQs

How do I connect my turntable to the Victrola Tempo speakers?

You can connect most turntables using the RCA inputs on the back of the speakers. If your turntable has a built-in pre-amp, use the 'LINE' or 'RCA' input. If it requires an external pre-amp or has a phono output, you may need to connect it through a separate phono pre-amplifier first, then to the speakers' RCA inputs.

Can I use these speakers with my TV?

Yes, the Tempo speakers offer an Optical input, which is ideal for connecting to modern TVs for clear digital audio. You can also use the RCA or 3.5mm AUX inputs if your TV has analog audio outputs.

What is Auracast™ and how does it work?

Auracast™ is a wireless audio-sharing technology. It allows you to broadcast audio from a source (like these speakers or a compatible device) to multiple Auracast™-enabled speakers simultaneously, or to receive audio from an Auracast™ transmitter. This enables a synchronized, multi-room audio experience.

Do I need a separate amplifier for these speakers?

No, the Victrola Tempo speakers are active bookshelf speakers, meaning they have built-in amplifiers. You can connect them directly to your audio sources.

Can I use just one speaker?

Yes, you can use a single speaker, but for the best stereo experience, it is recommended to use both speakers as a stereo pair.

How do I reset the Bluetooth connection?

To reset the Bluetooth connection, turn off Bluetooth on your source device, wait a few seconds, and then turn it back on. You can also try removing the 'Victrola Tempo' speaker from your device's Bluetooth list and re-pairing it.

What is the purpose of the bass filter switch?

The bass filter switch is used when you connect an external subwoofer. Engaging the filter helps to optimize the performance of the Tempo speakers by reducing the low-frequency load, preventing muddiness and allowing the external subwoofer to handle the deep bass more effectively.

Troubleshooting

No sound output

Ensure the speakers are powered on. Check that the correct input source is selected on the illuminated knob. Verify that all audio cables are securely connected at both ends. Increase the volume using the illuminated knob.

Bluetooth connection fails or is unstable

Make sure the speaker is in Bluetooth pairing mode. Ensure your source device is within range (typically 30 feet/10 meters). Turn off Bluetooth on your source device and then turn it back on. Try forgetting the speaker on your source device and re-pairing. Ensure no other devices are causing interference.

Distorted or muffled sound

Check that the volume is not set too high, which can cause distortion. If using the subwoofer output, ensure the bass filter switch is set correctly to avoid muddling the mid-range. Verify that the audio source itself is not the issue.

Auracast™ streaming not working

Confirm that both the source and receiving Victrola devices are Auracast™ compatible and enabled. Ensure they are within optimal wireless range. Restart both devices and attempt to re-establish the Auracast™ connection.

No bass when using external subwoofer

Verify the subwoofer is properly connected to the subwoofer output. Ensure the external subwoofer is powered on and its own volume is adjusted. Check that the bass filter switch on the Tempo speakers is set to the desired position for subwoofer optimization.
