Select a location
You can put your speaker just about anywhere. For maximum enjoyment, we have a few guidelines:
• The Play:1 is designed to work well even when placed next to a wall or other surface. For optimum
performance, maintaining more than 1" (2.5 cm) clearance around the back of the unit is recommended.
•The Play:1 is humidity-resistant so you can use it in the bathroom; however it is not water-resistant so
don’t position it near water or leave it outside during a rain storm.
Set it up
See Getting started when you’re ready to set up your speaker.
Speaker mounts and stands
The Play:1 has a standard 1/4"-20 threaded mounting socket. If desired, you can easily wall mount it using a
suitable bracket (not included). Simply choose a location that’s close to an electrical outlet (power cord length
is 2m), taking care to avoid heat, steam, dripping water or hidden wiring, and follow the instructions included
with the wall mount kit. You can hang it right side up (control buttons on top) or upside down (control buttons
on the bottom).
Note: Be sure the wall mount bracket you purchase will support at least 8 lb (3.6 kg) and has a 1/4"-20
threaded post.
Play/Pause • Press once to play or pause music.

Threaded mount 1/4" / 20-thread Integrated mounting socket so it can be wall-mounted
(bracket not included). See Speaker mounts and
stands for more information.
Ethernet port Use the supplied Ethernet cable if you want to connect
to a router, computer, or network-attached storage
(NAS) device (optional).
AC power (mains) input Use only the supplied power cord (using a third-party
power cord will void your warranty). Insert the power
cord firmly until it is flush with the speaker.
