DIALOG
User Manual
Streaming - wireless music playback
With DIALOG you can stream music from a variety of sources wirelessly. For this you need a wireless connection from your audio source (smartphone, tablet, etc.) to the DIALOG.

Other connection options
Streaming services
With AirPlay, UPnP/DLNA and Bluetooth apt-X, you can use a variety of other streaming services with your DIALOG system. For example, Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Qobuz, Radio via TuneIn and many more are available. The DIALOG is
recognized as a stand-alone WiFi speaker, so the smartphone only serves as a remote control. The music les are
downloaded directly from the DIALOG from the internet. Installation instructions for this can be found on the websites of the respective providers.
Network Attached Storage (NAS)
With a network attached storage (NAS) supporting AirPlay or UPnP/DLNA, the stored music les can be streamed directly
from the hard drive to the DIALOG system. Thus, your smartphone is only used as a remote control. The instructions for integrating such a network hard disk can be found on the website of the respective manufacturer.
Volume adjustment with remote control
The volume of the DIALOG can be adjusted with the supplied infrared remote control.
Vol. up +
Adjust the volume
If you want to change the volume, press the “Vol. up +“ or “Vol. down –“ key. If you hold down one of these buttons, the volume changes continuously.
Note: Be sure to point the remote at the left DIALOG speaker as soon as you press a key.
Mute
If you press the “Mute“ button you can mute the DIALOG system or deactivate the mute function.
Note: Be sure to point the remote at the left DIALOG speaker as soon as you press a key.

User Manual
Pairing the remote control
At factory settings, the remote control is not paired with the DIALOG. If you have several remote controls of the same
type, pairing is useful to avoid conicts.
1. Use a pen or a straightened paper clip to press the pairing button on the back of the DIALOG
2. The device is now in pairing mode for 30 seconds
3. Now press any key on the desired remote control (e.g. the “Mute“-key)
4. The device is now paired with this remote control and accepts only commands from this remote control
Note: If the DIALOG does not receive any command from a remote control during the 30 seconds it is in pairing mode,
the pairing is canceled and the DIALOG accepts commands from any remote control of the same type.
Wake-up function
In case of inactivity, the DIALOG automatically activates the standby mode after a while to avoid unnecessary power consumption. The automatic wake-up functionality automatically reactivates the DIALOG when there is an incoming audio signal via Bluetooth, AirPlay® or UPnP/DLNA. Accordingly, the loudspeakers can remain permanently connected to the power connection without affecting the energy consumption or the lifetime of the product.
Sound optimization
In order to achieve an optimal sound experience, it is advisable to observe the following points:
- Place your DIALOG system on the wall or near a wall. Avoid placing the device in the middle of the room, as certain
frequencies are not sufciently reproduced by the missing wall surface.
- Your DIALOG system offers a unique, lossless music reproduction. It is therefore advisable to play high-resolution
music les or uncompressed formats (such as WAV or Apple Lossless).
- Make sure your room has adequate acoustic damping. Too much reverb negatively affects the music signal. Curtains, upholstered furniture or carpets can support good room acoustics and contribute to a pleasant damping.
- If possible, use the digital audio input of the DIALOG when connecting a third party device. The digital input provides a better sound quality than analog inputs.
Note: There are no rules that apply to all environments. Nevertheless, it is advisable to consider the above points.

Saftey instructions
Please observe the safety instructions when using the DIALOG, otherwise warranty claims may expire.
- Do not expose to rain or moisture. There is a risk of re and the risk of damage.
- Do not use near liquids (bathtub, etc.).
- Do not place burning objects (candles, etc.) next to or on the speaker.
- Do not place near heat sources.
- Use only with original manufacturer accessories.
- Do not connect the speaker during thunderstorms.
Hearing damage
The DIALOG can reach a sound pressure level higher than 90dB (SPL), which could cause hearing loss. To avoid hearing damage, you should therefore only use the DIALOG system for a short time at high volume. As a precaution, set an appropriate volume. The higher the volume, the faster it can cause hearing damage.
Repair
The DIALOG must not be unscrewed or disassembled. Unauthorized opening of the housing is a risk of electrical shock. All necessary repairs are to be carried out exclusively by a service partner or manufacturer, otherwise the guarantee and warranty claim expires.
Maintenance
The speakers are maintenance-free. Clean the surface only with a soft dry to slightly moist cloth or a feather duster. Do not use scouring powder, alcohol, gasoline, polish, wax or other similar liquids. Do not set up the DIALOG in a humid environment. Frequent temperature changes, humidity and excessive sunlight will damage the speaker and may alter
its appearance. If the speaker is destroyed by improper use, contact the manufacturer and nd out about repair options.
The speaker membrane should not be touched.
Warranty
The warranty for this product complies with the legal requirements at the time of purchase. In addition, LOG Audio offers a warranty of 3 years from the date of purchase. Changes to the device will void the warranty and the manufacturer‘s warranty.

Recurring short failures of audio playback
Bad connection to audio source via Bluetooth
Bad WiFi connection between audio source and DIALOG
Bad WiFi connection between DIALOG and home network
Make sure that the audio source is close to the DIA­LOG and that there are no other interfering signals. Otherwise, reduce the distance between the audio source and the speaker, or restart your DIALOG sys­tem and your Bluetooth source.
Reduce the distance from your audio source to your DIALOG. Make sure that there are no other interference signals. Otherwise restart your DIALOG system and your AirPlay® or UPnP/DLNA source. Contact a wireless network specialist if the problem persists.
In many cases, the home network is not strong enough to incorporate audio devices (like the DIALOG in this case). Reduce the distance between DIALOG and your wireless router. If possi­ble, connect the DIALOG system and the router via LAN cable. Also a restart of the devices can solve the problem. Contact a wireless network specialist if the problem persists.
Bad WiFi connection between audio source and home network
DIALOG not visible on the network
Wireless connections - whether Bluetooth or WiFi - are inherently more susceptible to interference than cable connections.
It is therefore possible that disruptive factors (other WiFi networks, structural shielding, concrete walls, etc.) in your
environment have a negative effect on the connection quality and lead to failures in the music playback - regardless of your
Connection problems between DIALOG and home network
Note:
DIALOG. In such a case, please contact a WiFi or network specialist.
Reduce the distance between the audio source and your wireless router.
Disable the WiFi on your home network. Restart the DIALOG. The autonomous network of the DIALOG
now allows a new conguration.
