Bluetooth™
The EXM Mobile8 is capable of streaming
audio from Bluetooth™ enabled devices and
supports wireless ‘stereo’ pairing between two
EXM Mobile8s. In Bluetooth™ stereo mode,
the first unit acts as the “Primary,” playing the
left audio channel and additional units are
“Secondary” (playing the right channel). The
audio source needs to be connected to the
Primary EXM Mobile8 unit.
Operation:
When the EXM Mobile8 is
powered on, Bluetooth™ is disabled by default.
To turn on Bluetooth™, tap the Bluetooth™
button. If a device has been previously
connected, it will attempt to reconnect. If a
wireless stereo connection was used, both
EXM Mobile8 units will try to re-establish the
wireless stereo connection (the same Primary/
Secondary roles re-established).
Pairing:
Press the Bluetooth™ button down
and hold for 4 seconds, then release.
Status:
The blue LED indicates the status of
the Bluetooth™ connection, please refer to the
chart in the Owner’s Manual for more detail.
Level:
Streamed music’s volume can be
changed via the connected Bluetooth™
device or channel 3’s Level control. Channel
3’s Level setting controls the maximum level a
connected device can set.
Stereo Mode:
Wireless stereo playback is
supported between two EXM Mobile8s. One
acts as the Primary unit while another acts as a
Secondary unit. The Primary unit plays the left
audio channel while the Secondary unit plays
the right. The source device only connects to
the Primary unit, not the Secondary.
To enable Stereo Mode, double tap the
Bluetooth™ button on the EXM Mobile8 used
as the Primary unit (left), then double tap the
Bluetooth™ button on the secondary EXM
Mobile8 (right). The first unit double tapped
becomes the Primary unit (left).
New devices can still be paired to a Primary
unit if it’s in Stereo Mode. Pairing a device to
an EXM Mobile8 that is in Secondary mode will
end the stereo wireless connection.

Bluetooth™
Range:
The EXM’s Bluetooth™ operating
range is rated for 10 meters (33 feet) line
of sight. The link’s quality can be affected
by excess wireless traffic in the 2.4 GHz
bandwidth or structures between the
Bluetooth™ unit and the streaming device.
Note: When connected with Blue-
tooth™, ALL audio is streamed from
your device. If you don’t want the
streaming music to be interrupted, turn
off ‘notifications’ on your device.
Controls & Input/Output
Level:
Adjusts the channel’s gain, use to
adjust the channel’s level in the overall mix.
Shape:
The response is flat in the center
position. Setting towards ‘Music’ shapes the
response suited for prerecorded music and setting
towards ‘Speech’ is best for speech and vocals.
Reverb:
This control determines how much
Reverb is applied to the corresponding channel.
Master:
Used to set the overall level of
the EXM Mobile8.
Note: When two systems are linked to-
gether, the Master Control only affects
the level of the unit on which it is located.
Main Output/Input:
Both male and
female XLR jacks are wired in parallel
to make it easy to ‘link’ different EXM
enclosures together. Use standard XLR
patch cables between cabinets.
Battery
Status:
A series of four green LEDs
indicate the approximate charge level. The
topmost green LED illuminates if charged
greater than 75%. The red LED indicates
if the battery is critically low (approx. 10%
remaining). The indicators only operate
when the unit is turned on.
Low-Power “Sleep” State:
The
“Sleep” state is a special feature of the EXM
Mobile8, this automatic mode reduces energy
consumption when the system is not in use,
preserving battery life. This mode is nearly
undetectable when configured properly. To
ensure the sleep state doesn’t interfere with
normal operation, the output level should be
controlled with the Master.
Charging Indicator:
When AC is
connected to the unit, the charging indicator
will be enabled. If green, the unit is fully
charged. If red, the unit is actively charging.
Charging:
Plug it into an AC power
source using the included power cord.
The EXM Mobile8 will not charge
when the temperature is below 0° C
or above 45° C.
If the EXM Mobile8 is going to be stored
unused for a long period of time (6+
months) it is advisable to periodically
plug it in to charge up the battery. If
stored for a long period of time unused
and it has not been maintained, it is advis-
able to connect the charger and leave it
plugged in for approximately 24 hours.
