In Memory of Peter Olsen Schausen
30.09.1965-26.04.2015
Thousands of years ago, the Vikings set out to conquer the world. They became notorious as the
fearless conquers from the North. Everybody knew, that the Vikings did not compete – they
kicked ass!
Besides their penchant for gold, cattle and soil, the Vikings loved to party. Music was a huge
part of their lives.
Many years later, a true Viking was born in Scandinavia. A Viking with a love for music in his
blood and a heart of gold. A Viking, with a vision that one day, Vikings would once again
conquer the world. A Viking who wanted you to be able to listen to your favorite music
collection on a system worthy of your ear. A Viking, who not only wanted to, but also was able to
provide the latest technologies and the best possible sound.
A Viking, who created the active speaker system, you are now in possession of. He named it, the Gida.
His name was Peter Olsen Schausen. Co-founder and product manager for Nordic Audio.
Like all the great warriors, he tragically fell in combat. As one of the best Viking warriors, he fought. He fought for the life
of music.
He is now sitting in Valhalla with the rest of the Vikings. Partying, as only Vikings know how to.
We, the remaining of Nordic Audio, now set out to complete his mission on Earth.
We present to you, in honor of Peter Olsen Schausen: The Gida.
Gida is the Old Norse word for a true Viking. Which is exactly what this active speaker system is: A true Viking. Just like
Peter Olsen Schausen.
May his soul rest in peace.

The Rock
Normally, you always get a pair of white gloves with your new speakers. Of course, we have also included a pair of white
gloves, to avoid scratching the speakers.
The Gida is an active speaker system, which we have promised, has as few limitations as possible. We therefore decided
to use all of the money on the speakers. We did not want any unnecessary costs.
However, we still wanted to give you a gift. Not a fancy, pricy gift, but still a gift.
Therefore, we have enclosed a little rock.
A rock to remind you of, and maybe, for a short while, bring you to the coast of the North Sea.
A rock to a true Viking.
From the Vikings of Nordic Audio.

television/satellite/cable boxes, game consoles and others, are best supported using the OPTICAL or AUX 1 (RCA) inputs.
Portable music players and PCs are best supported by using the AUX 2 (3.5 mm.) input.
Bluetooth Connection
Bluetooth connectivity provides an easy, wireless connection for a personal audio device such as a tablet or mobile
phone. The receiver has a range of approximately 10 meters. To pair your device, put the device into pairing mode. Press
the BT-button on the remote control. Press “scan” on the device. Select the device “DABTA”. The blue LED indicator will
illuminate on the speakers to show, pairing was successful.
Wifi Connection
The Gida can be set up to the Wi-Fi from any PC or smart device. You only have to do this once and for the future, the
Gida will automatically link to the Wi-Fi. After unpacking the speakers, turn on your system. A voice will inform you, that
the system starts in “Direct Connection Mode” and asks you to “Set up Wi-Fi”. Choose and link to the Gida speakers
under “Networks” on your device. Now, open your Explorer and go to the address “192.168.10.1”. This will direct you to
the Wi-Fi setup page for Gida. You can now choose and connect to the desired network. Your Gida is now connected to
the Wi-Fi!
OBS:
- If the Gida have difficulties in receiving signal, move the router closer.
- The Gida will only connect to a 2,4 Ghz router and not to a 5.0 Ghz router.
- Streaming to multiply rooms requires a third-party driver.
