Control Box Functions
Audio Input: MA4-BT accepts audio in by 2 different methods, one being via Bluetooth®
wireless technology, the other being “line level input” via the female mini jack wire on
the control box. When the control box is playing via line in, “Mode” is illuminated.
When the control box is playing via Bluetooth®, its blue logo is illuminated. You can
have a wired line in device and Bluetooth® working at the same time but only one
device can be heard depending on what the Mode button is set to.
/ - buttons: Pushing the “” increases the volume of the system, and
“Volume -” reduces the volume. The volume buttons are active in both Bluetooth® and
line in modes. Please Note: If you hear an audible “beep” through the system when you
are pushing the button, this indicates you have reached the maximum volume
of MA4-BT. You “may” be able to get additional volume by adjusting the volume level of
your music playback device.
Track+ / - buttons: When in Bluetooth® mode (only), these buttons allow you to skip
tracks forward or backwards remotely on your paired music player. Depending on your
music device, you will have to figure out how to go back to the start of the song your
listening to vs the start of the last song you listened to. In most cases pushing the
“track -” once will take you back to the start of the song your listening to, and pushing
it twice within a second will take you to the start of the previous song you listened to.
Play/Pause Button: When in Bluetooth® mode (only), this button allows you to pause
(mute) music, and restart remotely on your paired music player.
“Folders” on your music device: If you play music from within a file folder on your
music device , MA4-BT can only play music from within that folder. MA4-BT cannot
automatically “skip” from folder to folder in your music devices file system.
Final Audio Adjustments:
How your system sounds sitting still will be RADICALLY different from how it sounds
“at speed”. Your music playback device may have equalizers or other audio
adjustments built in you can test till you find the one that works best for you. The best
way to make your system sound good is to use GOOD QUALITY music files. “Borrowed”
music from most free sharing sites will typically play quieter and sound the worst.
Adding Additional Amplifiers To Your System:
You will see a 4 pin blue plug attached to the main wire harness. This can be used to
send a full range audio output to “drive” the input of any amplifier that has “hi level
input”. This gives the ultimate flexibility as you can continue to have the supplied
speakers be powered by the MA4-BT main unit, and then have an amplifier power
other speakers such as saddlebag lid speakers or even subwoofers.
