iP Series Bluetooth Instructions
Bluetooth Connection
To stream audio from a Bluetooth-enabled device, you will need at least one iP speaker and an iPad*/iPhone/Android*/Windows* device with basic
Bluetooth connectivity.
With a streaming-only Bluetooth connection, all related iP DSP functions must still be controlled directly from the iP rear panel via the rotary encoder.
For Apple* iOS devices, you can also download a dedicated Turbosound iP Bluetooth app from the App Store. This iP Bluetooth app allows you to control a single or
stereo pair of iP speakers, including all DSP functions, remotely from your iOS device (see "Bluetooth Control" below for more information).
Bluetooth Streaming
To stream Bluetooth audio with any Bluetooth device (iPad/iPhone/Android/Windows, etc.)
Mono operation
1. Enable Bluetooth on your remote device.
2. Switch on your iP speaker and minimize the volume.
3. Select "Pair device" from the iP speaker's Bluetooth menu.
4. Check that your remote device is searching for a connection.
5. Once your device detects the iP speaker, select the iP speaker from your remote device's menu (e.g., "Turbosound iP300").
6. Wait until the remote device shows an active connection, and then check the speaker's Bluetooth menu, which should display the name of the remote device
(e.g., "HUAWEI P7-L07").
7. Bluetooth music can now be streamed to your iP speaker. The stereo signal will automatically mix down to mono.
8. The iP speaker will display the Bluetooth indicator on the main, top-level DSP screen.
Stereo operation
1. Complete the steps above to connect the fi rst speaker to Bluetooth audio.
2. The first connected speaker automatically becomes the MASTER speaker.
3. Switch on the second speaker, which becomes the SLAVE speaker.
4. Select "Link speaker" from the SLAVE speaker's Bluetooth menu.
5. The SLAVE speaker will display "Slave linking..."
6. Select "Link speaker" from the MASTER speaker's Bluetooth menu.
7. The MASTER speaker will display "Master Linking..."
8. WAIT for the speakers to link.
9. Once the linking process is complete, Bluetooth audio will stream to the two speakers. The MASTER speaker will receive the left channel, and the SLAVE speaker will
receive the right channel.
10. MASTER and SLAVE connection will be indicated on the main, top-level DSP screens.
