Ethernet: This cable allows you to physically connect a device to a LAN (local area
network). When connected to a LAN, audio information can be sent to this
speaker using various protocols (such as Play-Fi
®
or AirPlay). If a wireless (Wi-
Fi) connection is used to connect to a LAN, there is no need to use an
Ethernet connection. However, in some installations, a ‘hard-wired’ Ethernet
connection may prove more desirable than a wireless connection.
Wi-Fi:
This connection technology wirelessly connects a device to a LAN (local area
network). When connected to a LAN, audio information can be sent to this speaker using
various protocols (such as Play-Fi or AirPlay). If an Ethernet connection is used to connect
to a LAN, there is no need to use a Wi-Fi connection. In some installations a ‘hard-wired’ Ethernet
connection may prove more desirable than a wireless connection.
Bluetooth: This wireless connection technology allows a wide variety of devices to connect
to an audio output device and stream audio. Bluetooth establishes a connection directly
with an audio output device and does not require either device to be connected to a LAN.

Depending on the input selected on your speaker, the volume will exhibit different behaviors .
SPEAKER INPUT FRONT LED COLOR VOLUME BEHAVIOR

Purple (flashing purple indicates
no network is available)
Volume on device/remote and speaker
are synced and control each other.
Aux [Auxiliary] Green
Volume on device/remote and volume
on speaker are controlled separately.*
Bluetooth Blue
Volume on device/remote and volume
on speaker are controlled separately.*
* Devices connected via auxiliary and Bluetooth will often have
their own volume control which functions separately from the
speaker’s volume. If you are connecting a device which allows
you to adjust its volume separately, we recommend that the
volume on the device not be set to maximum. When set to its maximum setting, the amplifier in the external device is likely to in-
troduce elevated levels of distortion into the audio signal which,
in turn, will be further amplified by the speaker. Find a volume be-
tween 50–75% of the device’s maximum volume and use your
speaker’s volume control to adjust the final playback volume.
