CHORD MOJO 2 PRODUCT GUIDE
Unboxing the Mojo 2 In the box: – The Mojo 2 – A MicroUSB to USB type A cable Before Powering On Before using the Mojo 2, charge it fully via the MicroUSB port that has the battery icon over it. When the Mojo 2 is fully charged, the battery status light will be blue. There is also a desktop mode that bypasses the battery for those who wish to use the unit as just a desktop DAC/amplifier. The battery status light will be purple when you are in this mode.
Battery Status Charging Status Battery Life When you are finished charging the device, the battery status light will remain blue when it’s powered on while unplugged from the charger.
Digital Inputs Whether you are using a computer, phone, tablet or any other device to play back your music, you will be using the digital inputs of the Mojo 2. The Mojo 2 can also be used wirelessly with the Chord Poly. This will be covered in more detail in the Poly section of this document. From right to left, you have: – – – – – Optical/Toslink input.

Powering On and Playback – – – – – – – Press and hold the power button to turn the Mojo 2 on. Once connected to a music source via the digital inputs, press and hold the ‘-’ volume button until both the ‘+’ and ‘-’ are unlit. Attach your headphones or IEMs and slowly keep pressing the ‘+’ until it reaches an ideal volume for you. Pressing the ‘-’ again once at no volume will toggle the device to Low Gain mode. We recommend using Low Gain mode for most IEMs and sensitive headphones.
Front Panel Controls The Mojo 2 operates via a set of glass marble buttons that change color to display current setting status. From right to left, you have: The Power Button. Turns the device on and off. The ‘+’ Button. Increases the volume when not in a menu. When the volume is set to the maximum, pressing this button again will enable High Gain mode. Do not make this adjustment while headphones are attached. When in a menu, this button along with ‘=’ will cycle through the various options available.
Menu Button Cont. When the Menu button is off, the device is in Low Gain Mode with volume controls enabled. When the Menu button is glowing white the device is in High Gain Mode with the volume controls enabled. This is considered the main menu and the device will auto return to this menu after sitting for awhile in a different menu This does not apply to Lockdown Mode, which locks the device. In the Dark Blue menu, the ‘-’ button will control the brightness of the buttons.
Equalization Equalization is the process of adjusting different audio frequencies to get a desired effect from your audio equipment. A common example of this would be “bass boost” mode on an amplifier. This setting boosts the lower frequencies to enhance the presence of the bass when this setting is active. Along these lines, if you were to press ‘+’ while the menu button is displaying Red (bass is selected) you can increase the bass presence of this player.
EQ steps represented by color. Lockdown Mode This mode turns off all other buttons, locking in your settings to what they where when you entered “lockdown mode.” Press the menu button again to leave lockdown mode.
