The MRM will always be available for pairing as long as it is on, in Bluetooth mode, and doesn’t have two devices already connected
to it. There is no pairing “mode” unlike other Bluetooth speakers, which makes pairing simpler and easier.

your device (E.g. smartphone). Turn
Bluetooth ON and search for device
FIND YOUR MINIRIG PLAY SOME MUSIC SHARE WITH FRIENDS
MINIRIG MINI

CONNECT TWO DEVICES TO SHARE MUSIC HIGH AND LOW GAIN SETTINGS
You can pair and connect two devices to a MRM at the same time.
To switch between them you need to stop the music on the device
playing, then start playing music on the second device.
PLUG IN A SUBWOOFER WHEN USING BLUETOOTH
In Bluetooth mode, the MRM will output audio from both AUX
sockets. This allows you to connect to another Minirig, Minirig
subwoofer or Hi-Fi system.
high gain low gain
The MRM has two gain (volume) settings – LOW and HIGH. In
Bluetooth mode it will always start in HIGH gain. In AUX mode it
will start in LOW or HIGH gain depending on which AUX socket
you plug in to.
TO CHANGE GAIN AT ANY TIME:
• Check that the Minirig is ON and audio is playing
• Press the button once, do not hold it down
• In high gain the LED will be brighter than in low gain
We recommend that you use LOW gain at normal listening
levels for the best sound quality
CONNECT AUDIO CABLE
If your device does not have Bluetooth or you would like to use a wired connection instead, you can connect to the MRM using the
supplied AUX cable. ensure your minirig is o and remove any audio cables before using cable mode.
• Plug one end of the AUX cable into the headphone socket on
your audio device.
• Plug the other end into one of the AUX sockets on the Minirig.
The MRM will turn on when you insert the cable displaying the
green LED There will be no tone. when you unplug the cable
the minirig will turn o displaying the red LED there will be
no tone.
Please ensure the cable is pushed all the way in when turning on!

The top socket will put the MRM in high gain, the bottom
socket low gain. push it in firmly to make the connection. You can
still change gain using the button as in Bluetooth mode.
You can turn the Minirig OFF and ON by pressing and holding the
button. However, it will stay in AUX mode until you remove all the
audio cables
In AUX mode, removing the audio cables will also turn the MRM
OFF. Again there will be no tone in AUX mode.
You must do this before you can use the MRM in Bluetooth mode.
linking-up with subwoofer and Minirigs
In AUX mode you can use the spare audio socket to link out to
another MRM or Minirig subwoofer. If using a subwoofer, please
feed the audio into the Bluetooth Minirig FIRST as shown below.
Ensure that you match the gain levels.
In aux mode you can use the minirig splitter cable to
give you stereo sound, splitter cable can be purchased
here http://minirigs.co.uk/shop/accessories.
when using a subwoofer ensure you plug your audio
device into the sub first, then use the splitter cable to
link out of the sub to the minirigs.
This method also works for minirig V1 & MRBT

WIRELESS STEREO PAIRING
Two MRM’S can link up together using the wireless Bluetooth connection. This allows you to create an immersive stereo soundstage
or to double up the sound in dierent areas without any cables.
1 meter
l
r
• Turn both Minirigs ON in Bluetooth mode and place them
around 1 meter or less apart – they only need to be close for
this pairing process.
• Select which one you want to use as the LEFT (master)
speaker. You may already be connected and playing music
through this MRM.
It is vital that that the other RIGHT (slave) MRM does not have an
audio device connected to it. If it does they will not pair.
pressing the button to pair for tws
• Press the button TWICE on
the LEFT (master) MRM. Just
press and release both times,
don’t hold the button. You will
x2
hear a “beep beep” tone.
• The MRMwill disconnect from your audio device and
start searching for other Minirigs in the area. The LED
will flash white and red.
• At any time you can stop the process by pressing the
button.
• When it has found another MRM, that minirig will also
start flashing white and red
• After around 10 seconds they should pair. You will hear a “confirmation”
tone from both Minirigs and the LEDs will stop flashing.
• If the pairing is unsuccessful or if the search times out, you will hear a
dierent lower “failed” tone. Please try again or see FAQ for assistance.
• Once the Minirigs are paired, go ahead and connect your Bluetooth
audio device to the LEFT (master) speaker as usual. If you were
previously paired and connected, it should automatically reconnect.
In wireless stereo you can only connect one Bluetooth audio device.
home
• Go ahead and connect a Minirig subwoofer to either MRM if you have one. It will receive both LEFT and RIGHT signals. This can
be re-configured using the MRM APP. See demo videos for more information.
• When you turn one of the paired MRM OFF, they will both turn OFF. They will automatically un-pair and return back to normal.
• You can lock them together using the MRM APP, so next time you turn them on, they reconnect automatically in wireless stereo.
See APP instructions for more details.
• At anytime you can also un-pair the Minirigs by pressing the button TWICE on either MRM. You will hear a tone to confirm they
are un-paired.
POWER SAVING FEATURES
To save power, the amplifier circuit will automatically turn o while there is no music playing, even though the MRM remains ON.
In this “standby” mode, a full battery can last up to 14 days in Bluetooth mode or 40 days in AUX mode.
If you are listening to the MRM at low volumes in AUX mode, please use the low gain setting to ensure the MRM does not turn o unexpectedly. Alternatively, you can turn this mode OFF using the MRM App.
In Bluetooth mode, the Minirig will turn OFF completely if there are no devices connected for 30 minutes.
TROUBLESHOOTING
We hope that you find the MRM easy and problem-free to use. However, if you are having any trouble here are a few things you can
try which may help:
• Pause/stop the music for 5 seconds and press play again. This can resolve some audio issues.
• Turn the MRM(s) OFF and ON again. This will re-establish the MRM connection.
• Try a dierent AUX audio cable or MRM power cable if you have one.
• Move the MRM closer to the Bluetooth audio device.
• Turn Bluetooth OFF and ON again on your Bluetooth audio device.

If you are still having trouble, try a full reset of the MRM – this will restore it to default and un-pair all devices.
• To reset your MRM, start with the Minirig OFF and no cables plugged in.
