Introduction
Hello,
Thank you for purchasing Cowin Ark 4:1.
Your Cowin Ark can be easily connected to your smartphone, tablet, PC and other devices wirelessly using
Bluetooth or by using the supplied auxiliary audio cable
(3.5mm AUX).
Before You Start (Important)
It is very important that you fully charge your Cowin
Ark before its first time use. Failure to do this WILL
result in technical issues.
Cowin Ark is a two part speaker system. The larger lower
part of Cowin Ark is called the Bass Station, and houses
a 3.5” Subwoofer. The smaller upper part of Cowin Ark
is called the Cruz Sound Bar and is home to 2 speaker
drivers.
The Cruz Sound Bar is powered by its built-in rechargeable lithium batteries. Whereas the Bass Station runs from
a standard domestic mains socket.
It is very likely that your Cruz Sound Bar will need fully
charging when you first unpack it from the box. This is because Lithium batteries will lose discharge naturally over
