Heads up! Do not transport or move the POLAR 8 when it is
assembled. This could damage the system or cause damage to property
or personal injury!
Stereo setup
If two POLAR 8s are used as a stereo system, the left POLAR 8 receives the
left mixer signal, whilst the right POALR 8 receives the right signal. Both
systems should be set to sound identically (sub, treble, volume, master).

1
Mains
Please use the factory-included power cable to connect this IEC mains
socket to a wall outlet.
Good to know: The power supply unit is an automatic switching power
supply unit with a wide-range input and can be operated on AC voltages
from 100 V to 240 V at 50 or 60 Hz.
●
2
Power
Mains switch for switching the power supply on and off.
Channel 1 and Channel 2 (Line/Mic)
Channels 1 and 2 are identically equipped and are used to connect micro-
phones as well as devices with a line output such as a keyboard or (DJ)
mixer.
●
3
Input
Balanced XLR/jack combo input socket. Connection is possible via XLR plug
or 6.35 mm jack plug (balanced or unbalanced).
Heads up: A balanced signal is always preferable because it is less sus-
ceptible to HF and other interference.
●
4
Line/Mic
Selector switch for adjusting the sensitivity and impedance of the pre-
amplifier.
The Line position is intended for connecting a device with line level, such
as a mixing console, keyboard or similar. The Mic position is intended for
connecting a dynamic microphone.
●
5
Volume
Rotary control for adjusting the signal volume of the channel.
In the full left position, the signal is completely turned down; in the full
right position, the maximum volume is reached.
Channel 3 (Aux +Bluetooth)
Channel 3 is used to connect devices such as CD/MP3 players or comput-
ers, as well as for music playback via Bluetooth audio streaming. Aux and
Bluetooth signals can be used simultaneously.
●
6
Input
Unbalanced input (2x RCA jack) for connecting high-level audio sources such
as CD/MP3 players, smartphones, DJ mixers or computers.
●
7
Volume
Rotary control for adjusting the signal volume of Channel 3.
In the full left position, the signal is muted; in the full right position, the
maximum volume is reached.
Good to know: This control affects both the Aux input and the Bluetooth
input. This means both signal sources can be used simultaneously and
the volume can be controlled together.
Heads up: To ensure optimal, noise-free playback of the audio
stream via Bluetooth, the outgoing signal level on the Bluetooth player
should be set to maximum. The desired volume should be controlled via
the volume control for Channel 3, which allows for sensitive adjustment
without level jumps.

Pairing
Push button to establish a Bluetooth connection between POLAR 8 and
a Bluetooth-enabled device in order to play music via Bluetooth audio
streaming.
Press the Pairing button to start a Bluetooth connection. POLAR 8 will then
be ready to connect to a Bluetooth device for the next 120 seconds.
When ready to connect, the blue LED on the button will flash. Once POLAR 8
is connected to the Bluetooth device, it will light up permanently.

TWS Link
Switch to establish a Bluetooth TWS connection between two POLAR 8 in
order to play music via Bluetooth audio streaming in TWS (True Wireless
Stereo).
The first POLAR 8 should already be connected to the Bluetooth device.
Now press the TWS switch on both POLAR 8 one after the other to start
setting up a Bluetooth TWS connection. Once ready for a TWS connection,
