network.
4. Open the AirLino®-App. The setup wizard will start automatically
5. You can choose a custom name for your MONOLOG so recognice the device easier in the future
6. Choose your home network name and enter the correct password of the network
The AirLino®-App will now try to connect your MONOLOG to the home network
Note: If the device is not ready after 60 seconds there might occured an error. Please check if you entered the
correct network password and try the setup again. In some cases it is useful to unplug your MONOLOG and try all
steps again after at least 10 seconds.
7. If the setup was successfully, your MONOLOG is visible in the network. You can now see your MONOLOG in your
audio streaming device.
8. Enjoy the music through your MONOLOG square
Note: Please make sure that the WiFi connection and the signal are stable and strong enough to manage high quality
audio signals in your home network. Low quality WiFi routers might cause problems. Please contact a wireless network
specialist if problems occur.

In case of inactivity, the MONOLOG square automatically activates the standby mode after a while to avoid unnecessary
power consumption. The automatic wake-up functionality automatically reactivates the MONOLOG square when there
is an incoming audio signal via Bluetooth, AirPlay® or DLNA. Accordingly, the loudspeakers can remain permanently
connected to the power connection without affecting the energy consumption or the lifetime of the product.

Wall mounting
The MONOLOG square is also suitable for on-wall mounting. Before mounting, make sure the wall on which the
MONLOG is to be mounted is strong enough to support the unit. In case of doubt, please contact a specialist. To
attach the MONOLOG square to the wall it is necessary to mount two suitable brackets (screws or similar) at a
distance of 34 cm from the wall. First connect your MONOLOG square to the power before you hang it on the wall, as
this is more difcult to do afterwards.

Sound optimization
32.5 mm35 mm
The mono concept of the MONOLOG square is optimized for uniform room acoustics. This means that the entire sound
is reproduced at every position in the room. This avoids the undesirable side effects of a stereo system, where more
information can be heard from the left channel at one position in the room than from the right (and vice versa).
In order to achieve an optimal sound experience, it is advisable to observe the following points:
- Place your MONOLOG square on the wall or near a wall. Avoid placing the device in the middle of the room, as
certain frequencies are not sufciently reproduced by the missing wall surface.
- Your MONOLOG square 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 MONOLOG square 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.

duster. Do not use scouring powder, alcohol, gasoline, polish, wax or other similar liquids. Do not set up the MONOLOG
square 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.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible cause Solution
Press the “Mute“ or “Volume up +“ button on the included remote control to deactivate the mute mode.
There may be no connection via Bluetooth or WiFi.
Check if the audio source is near the audio system.
If necessary, reduce the distance between the audio
source and the audio system.
Check that you are actually connected to “MONLOG“
via Bluetooth, AirPlay® or DLNA. If necessary, disconnect and reconnect.
Make sure the power plug is well connected in both
the speaker and the power outlet.
Make sure that you have not turned down the volume
at the audio source. Slowly increase the volume.
Increase the volume by pressing the “Volume up +“
button on your remote control.
Decrease the volume by pressing the “Volume down -“
button on your remote control.
Stop playing unwanted source (Bluetooth, AirPlay® or
DLNA).
Make sure that the audio source is close to the
MONOLOG square and that there are no other interfering signals. Otherwise, reduce the distance between
the audio source and the speaker, or restart your
MONOLOG square and your Bluetooth source.
Reduce the distance from your audio source to your
MONOLOG square. Make sure that there are no other
interference signals. Otherwise restart your MONOLOG
square and your AirPlay® or 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 MONOLOG
square in this case). Reduce the distance between
MONOLOG square and your wireless router. If possible, connect the MONOLOG square 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.
Reduce the distance between the audio source and
your wireless router.

Note:
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
MONOLOG square. In such a case, please contact a WiFi or network specialist.
