12. How to use Spotify Connect
11. “Wi-fi Direct“ mode : the iWa250 can create its own Wi-fi network
When there is no Wi-fi network available or when the connexion is not good
enough (sound drops), the iWa250 can create its own Wi-fi network. This is call
“Wi-fi Direct” mode.
1. Turn on the unit and wait for 10 seconds for initialization.
2. Push the “Wi-fi Settings” key on the remote control for around 5 seconds until
the left LED starts flashing. The left LED will turn to red.
3. On your iDevice or on your computer, go to the Wifi settings dropdown list
and look for the network named “MTX iWa250 network”.
4. Go to your music app, play a tune and choose “MTX iWa250” as streaming
device output.
5. To go back to the regular “Client Mode” (The amp is available in your personal
Wi-fi network), push on the “Wi-fi Settings” key (#10) on the remote control for
5 seconds and wait for the left LED to turn blue.

The MTX iWa250 can stream directly from Spotify. Your
iDevice or Android® device becomes “only” a remote control.
It is convenient as it doesn’t drain your battery and you
can leave the room or even the house without any music
interruption. You still can control the tracks (Play, pause,
skip, forward, volume level...) with the iWa250 remote
control.
To use this feature, just download the Spotify app on your
device, register, choose a playlist, an album or some tracks,
and the iWa250 will contact Spotify by itself.
You don’t have to do any special setting. It is transparent for
the user. Only Spotify app is required on your device or on
your compurer. When your are in the app, do not forget to
select the iWa250 as audio output.
Note that Spotify Connect can’t operate when the iWa250
is in “Wi-fi Direct” mode as the unit is not connected to
internet.
13. Automatic “Networked Standby” and OFF
1. When the unit is ON, if there is no audio signal
broadcasting on any of the 3 audio inputs, after 15 minutes,
the unit will automatically enter “Networked Standby“
mode. Both LEDs will switch OFF, but the unit will remain
available in the Airplay®/DLNA® network.
2. When the unit is in “Networked Standby“ mode, it will
automatically switch ON if any signal is detected on any in-
put, or if you call the unit from Airplay®/DLNA®.
3. In “Networked Standby“ mode, the power consumption
is 2,9W. If you push the “Power Off” key on the remote con-
trol, the unit will be OFF and the power consumption will
be only 0,4W.
4. If the Wi-fi is switched off (10 seconds push on the Air-
play®/DLNA® key), the unit will turn off after 15 minutes
without signal on the other inputs.
