Opalum sound system Quick Manual

Traditional Speaker Connection

Connect the active speakers
to the hub using the speaker
cable included in the box or
any 2 conductor speaker cable.
Don’t worry about the polarity
of the cables and terminals. The
system operates at maximum
performance in any case due to
its digital nature.

The cables transfer both signal
and power, which is why you
don’t need an extra power cable
for each active speaker.

Alternative Speaker Chain

The hub can be placed between
the speakers as illustrated above
or you can choose to place the
hub in one side as part of a
speaker chain. Just connect the
rst active speaker to the hub
and the second speaker to the
rst speaker.

Connect Input Sources

Depending on your choice of
sources and connection cables,
connect the cables to the correct
inputs on the hub. The type of
inputs is indicated on the hub in
both colours and text.

Activating the Sound System

Turn on power to all input
sources and the system itself.
The hub will automatically turn
on. There is no need for source
selection as the system auto­matically plays music from any
connected source.

Digital Sources

Computer, Apple tv, Airport
Express, Blu-ray, DVD, TV,
video games, HTPC etc.

Analog Sources

MP3-player etc.

Subwoofer

In most cases the system won’t
require a subwoofer, but should
you happen to be a fan of
extreme deep and vibrant bass,
just connect your subwoofer to
the hub and turn the low-pass
frequency setting to max. The
only thing you need to adjust is
the subwoofer level.

Connecting through Bluetooth

You can stream your music wire­lessly from a smartphone, tablet
or any other Bluetooth enabled
device directly to your Opalum
system.

After the hub is powered the
system is ready for pairing with
your Bluetooth device.

Activate Bluetooth on your
device and search for nearby
connections. Your Bluetooth
device must be within 10 meters
reach of the hub.

Choose ”Opalum” and enter
PIN/passcode: 1397.

The sound quality from your
Opalum speakers depends on
the music le type/compres­sion rate and which Bluetooth
version your device is using.
For optimal quality use lossless
music formats and use the latest
Bluetooth version available for
your device.
