Repairs may only be carried out by
an authorised specialist workshop.
Only parts that match the original
specifications may be used.
• Only use the accessory products
specified by the manufacturer.
• Never modify the device. Unauthorised modifications may affect the
safety and functionality.
• Never touch the mains plug with
wet hands.
An unsuitable setup location may
result in injury and damage.
• Never use the device unmounted
in vehicles, in unstable locations,
on wobbly tripods or furniture, on
insufficiently dimensioned brackets
etc. The device could tip or fall
down and cause injury to persons
or be damaged itself.
• Arrange the device so that it cannot
be knocked over accidentally and
make sure that the cables do not
pose a tripping hazard.

• Only use the wireless speakers
in locations where wireless radio
transmission is allowed.
Children can become trapped in
the plastic wrapping when playing
and suffocate.
• Do not allow children to play with
the device or the plastic wrapping.
There is a danger of suffocation.
• Never allow children to operate
electrical equipment unsupervised.
Extended listening at high volumes
may lead to hearing loss.
To avoid damage to health, avoid
extended listening at high volumes.
• When the volume is set high,
always keep a certain distance
from the device and never place
your ears directly on the speaker.
• If your external player is set to full
volume, it may produce very high
sound pressure. This may have
psychological consequences and
also cause physical injury. Children
and pets are particularly at risk. Set
your signal source device volume
to a low setting before turning on
the power.
This product contains magnetic
material.
• If necessary, consult your physician
and ask about effects on implants
such as pacemakers or defibrillators.
Improper use may lead to damage
or fire.
• Do not place open flames such as
burning candles or similar on the
device.
• Ensure sufficient ventilation.
• Do not expose the device to direct
sunlight.
• Only use the device indoors.
• Do not operate the device in wet
rooms and protect it from dripping
and splashing water.
Make sure that no vases or other
liquid-filled objects are located
on or near the device in order to
prevent liquid from penetrating the
housing. If water or other debris
have infiltrated the device, immediately pull the mains adapter out of
the socket. Then send the device to
our service address.
The isolation pads can produce
discolouration on sensitive
surfaces.
• On parquet, varnished wood and
similar surfaces, you should stick
felt gliders to the rubber feet of the
device or put a blanket under it.
This will prevent discolouration of
the floor over the long term.

Old devices must not
be disposed of with
household waste!
If the device is no longer
operational, every
consumer is required
by law to dispose of old
devices separately from
household waste, e.g. at
a collection point run by
the communal authority/
borough. This ensures that
old devices are recycled
in a professional manner
and also rules out negative consequences for the
environment.
For this reason, electrical
equipment is marked with
the adjacent symbol.

Setup
NOTICE
If the device is subjected
to warm temperatures after
being cold (e.g. after transport), condensation may occur
inside of it.
– In this case, wait approx. 2
hours before you connect
and activate it.
CAUTION
The device is disconnected
from the mains by pulling the
mains plug out of the socket.
– Therefore make sure that
the socket is always easily
accessible.
Location tips
• Make sure that the environment is
clean and free from dust.
• Select a location away from heat
sources and direct sunlight.
• Do not place any heavy objects on
the cables or the device.
• The wireless connection has a
maximum range of 50 m, but can
be obstructed by objects, walls and
other transmitters (Wi-Fi, DECT).
Rear speakers
As rear speakers, the wireless
speakers are set up or hung to the
side of or behind the listener at a
height of 1.20 m to 2.10 m (see the
grey areas in the graphic).
The ideal position is offset by approx.
20 degrees from the parallel position to the listener on the left and
right side (A). The distance between
the rear speakers and the listening
position should not be less than 1 m.
However, if you (need to) sit closer,
please ensure that the front side of
the speaker is not directly facing you.
Rather, the speaker must be angled
towards the wall (B). Alternatively,
you can create a greater distance
by placing the speakers higher than
1.20 m (e.g. also on the ceiling) or
further away (C).

Operation
Setting the channel
With the L REAR R switch (6), you
determine the stereo channel (right
or left) to be played back by the
respective wireless speaker.
This switch is only queried when
establishing the power supply. When
you modify the setting,
– pull the mains plug,
– wait until the power indicator (2) is
off,
– insert the mains plug back in the
socket.
Mains connection
1. Insert the plug of the mains cord
(5) in a mains socket (220–240
V ~/50 Hz).
• The first time you turn the wireless
speaker on, it will switch to pairing
mode and the power indicator (2)
will quickly blink in white.
• The power indicator (2) will slowly
blink in white for approx. 30
seconds. If no compatible transmitter is detected during this
period, the wireless speaker will
switch to standby mode and the
power indicator (2) will continuously illuminate in red.

until the power indicator (2) blinks
quickly in white.
2. Switch the transmitter unit
(receiver, transmitter) to pairing
mode. Please refer to the user
manual for the transmitter unit for

continuously in white then.
Automatic connection
• If the wireless speakers were
already connected to a compatible
transmitter, they will immediately
be connected to it.
The power indicator (2) illuminates
continuously in white.
• If there is no transmitter nearby or
if it is switched off, the Effect will
search for the transmitter.
The power indicator (2) will slowly
flash in white in the process.
• The connection will be established
as soon as you switch on the transmitter.
The power indicator (2) illuminates
continuously in white now.

receive a signal from a connected
transmitter, they will switch back on
from standby mode.
If the signal is deactivated, the
wireless speakers will switch back to
standby mode after a short time. In
standby mode, the power indicator (2)
will be continuously illuminated in red.

remain mute. Then select a surround sound simulation such
as Dolby Prologic on the transmitter unit.
A “test tone” is suitable for testing the connection providing
your transmitter unit offers this function for adjusting the
level.
Distance is too great or objects are blocking the connection
signal. Correct the allocation of the devices.
Reconnect the devices (see chapter „First-time connection“
on page 10).
Other wireless signal sources (cordless telephones, Wi-Fi
stations or microwaves) affect the connection. Move the
devices causing the disturbance.
MP3s, radio as well as many TV programmes only transmit
stereo sound. Switch your receiver to a Pro-Logic mode or a
DSP mode (5.1 Stereo).
