Playing back from Bluetooth
When you start playing audio on your paired device the option to stream over
Bluetooth should be available. Select Bluetooth or the appropriate name for your
Minx Air , Bluetooth playback should begin.
You can use both the volume controls on your Bluetooth device and the Minx
Wireless Music system to control the level.
To stop Bluetooth audio, press the
(Stop/Mute) button on the top of the Minx
Wireless Music System.
To pause Bluetooth audio use the playback controls on the Bluetooth device itself.
Note:
The Bluetooth Audio input and the Audio In/MP3 inputs are internally mixed
inside the Minx Wireless Music System. This allows for Music to be played back
from a Local source (such as CD player) whilst the Minx system is used to playback

Bass Control
The Bass control can be found on the rear panel of the Cambridge Audio Air
100/200 Wireless Music System. Changing this setting allows the bass/low
frequency response of the unit to be tailored to your taste and the acoustics of
your room.
In particular, placing the Minx Air in the corner of a room can increase its bass
response or in open space decrease it, this control is designed in such a way as

Renaming your Minx Air
As default, the Minx Air will be named by its serial number. Eg. 'Minx Air 100
008571'. This is how it will appear in the app or when selecting it as your Airplay
or Bluetooth speaker.
If you wish, you can rename the Minx Air to something of your choice – for example,
'Minx Air Living Room', or 'Ben's Minx Air'. The easiest way to do this is from within
the app, after you have set the Minx Air up and connected it to your network.
To do this, go to Settings > Devices within the app and select the Minx Air speaker
that you wish to rename. Then press 'Enter Web Page'. This will open a webpage
within the app where you can rename the Minx Air.
Type the desired new name into the Airplay Device Name box, and press 'Change
Name'. You will now get a 'new settings were successfully applied message', and
your Minx Air will have been renamed. You may need to close and restart the app
to reconnect to your newly re-named Minx Air speaker.
