Using the Aux audio input
1. With the Hive 2 turned on, insert the 3.5 mm audio cable into the
Aux input (7) on the Hive 2

will disconnect

output on an MP3 player or other audio source

through the Hive 2
5. The volume can be adjusted on your both your device and Hive 2
Note: The play/pause and skip track functions on the Hive 2 do not operate
in aux mode.
PLEASE NOTE:
Your device will have an internal amplifier and if it is playing digital files like
MP3s it will also have an integrated DAC (Digital Audio Converter). If you turn
up the volume to 100%, your device will be sending distorted signals to the
Hive 2. To avoid this and to get the best sound quality from the speaker, we
recommend that you do not run your device any higher than 95% volume.
Also note, the Hive 2 uses a dynamic EQ which changes depending on the
volume level set on the Hive 2. We recommend you set the volume on your
device to 95% and then adjust the volume only on the Hive 2. As you set
the volume higher on the Hive 2, the bass level will slowly decrease to
prevent distortion.
