BLUETOOTH
The ART 9-AX speaker offers a Bluetooth
connection for both audio streaming and
remote control.
The modes to connect audio and control are
different.
For remote control, please launch the
LiveRemote
app on your smartphone, then
go to the DEVICES lower tab; launch a SCAN
to discover devices and select the one you
wish to connect to.
This page helps you to select the appropriate
device in case there is more than one unit
within reach. We suggest modifying the
default Bluetooth names to differentiate
between units.
If the ART 9-AX speaker is not found, please
refer to the paragraph “Troubleshooting the
Bluetooth connection” below.
For audio connection, the ART 9-AX behaves like a usual Bluetooth speaker: press PAIR on the unit (available on the main Bluetooth page), then open the Bluetooth
settings on your smartphone and select the ART 9-AX speaker. Take care in avoiding selecting entries with _LE suffix, as they are not available for audio streaming.
Please notice that ART 9-AX1 is the default Bluetooth name;
it can be edited on the speaker itself. To modify the name,
go into the Bluetooth SETUP page and tap once on the
current name (lower row on the display). Then select each
character using the encoder and the confirm the choice with
an encoder push, which also jumps to next available position.
If you press OK, name editing is completed. The first available
character is an END-OF-LINE special symbol (grayed out) that
indicates the name end, ignoring the following characters:
the second available character is the usual space character.
In the Bluetooth SETUP page, you can configure Bluetooth mode, as follows:
OFF:
no Bluetooth connection
SINGLE:
a single ART 9-AX speaker is available, and acts as a standalone speaker
DUAL:
two ART 9-AX speakers are paired and can be treated as a combined group
In
DUAL
mode, two different roles are available:
DUAL PRIMARY
: this unit is visible from LiveRemote app and can be paired for audio streaming. The PRIMARY unit controls the SECONDARY
directly. When PRIMARY is selected, the ART 9-AX tries a connection with a SECONDARY speaker.
DUAL SECONDARY
: this unit is still visible from LiveRemote app, but cannot be selected, as it is controlled by the PRIMARY speaker only.
We suggest setting the SECONDARY speaker first, then proceed to configure the PRIMARY
speaker for quick connection between the two units.
In SECONDARY Bluetooth mode, a summary of settings is visible:
