The Omni 10, Omni 20 and Adapt support both WPS-PBC and WPS-PIN modes. If your router supports it, WPS-PBC is the simplest way to set up your Wi-Fi connection. To connect to your home network via WPS-PBC mode: 1. Press the WPS button on your router. 2.
Rooms are a convenient way to permanently group multiple speakers into a single playback zone, or to give speakers a meaningful name. Single products or pairs of products can be grouped into individual rooms. To set up a room, select the ‘Set up products’ button on the home screen of the app.
Next, determine which type of room you want to set up. ‘Stand alone’ rooms consist of a single product, while ‘Stereo pair’ rooms consist of two products. Stereo pairs must include two products of the same type, i.e. two Omni 10s, two Omni 20s, or one Adapt. ROOM SETUP Note: Select the appropriate option that you wish to configure. If you select ‘Custom’ you will need to add your own custom name for it to be displayed.
After selecting a room type, a list of available products will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. To set up a ‘Stand alone’ room, select one of these products. ROOM SETUP Note: If at any point your speaker loses its connection to the network go through the steps previously shown and tap the ‘Refresh signal strength’ button in the upper left-hand corner. After selecting a product from the list, the product’s icon will appear in the middle of the screen, along with its Wi-Fi signal strength.
ROOM SETUP From now on, the configured rooms will appear for selection on the side bar of the app’s home screen instead of individual products. When you stream music to a room, all speakers in that room will play together.
To set up a ‘Stereo pair’, two products must be selected as the left and right channels respectively. To begin, select L and then select a product from the bottom of the screen. Then select R, and select the other product from the bottom of the screen. When you select a product from the bottom of the screen, the Link button LED on that specific product will flash off and on three times. Check if you’ve selected the correct products for left and right channels, and select ‘Done’.
Next, you must select one of the products to as Master. The Master product is important, so select whichever product you have easier physical access to, if any. The product in a ‘Stereo pair’ that is not the Master will have its Bluetooth® and Aux inputs disabled, and the LED on its outer ring will not illuminate. S E T U P S T E R E O PA I R Now you can adjust the left/right balance of the stereo pair. The balance is used to compensate for differences in volume between the left and right speakers.
Place the speaker on a firm and level surface. Make sure that the surface and any mounting hardware can support the Omni 10 or Omni 20’s weight. • Do not place the speaker directly on a carpeted surface. • o not place the speaker in extremely hot or cold locations, in areas near heaters or heat D registers, or in direct sunlight. To create the best ‘Stereo pair’ system possible, you should place both your speakers in a semicircle with your listening position at its center.
