iX Series Analogue Connection
Despite their sophistication, iX speakers offer straightforward analogue connectivity, and you can easily
arrange the iX system to allow simple control of levels from other devices, such as mixers. You can also
daisy-chain multiple iX speakers using only the analogue connections, and then directly control the overall
level from your mixer’s master fader.
For example, you have four iX speakers and a mixer with simple left-right stereo outputs. For typical
operation, set the DSP volume and input gain settings on all speakers to a fl at “0 dB” setting. Connect the
mixer’s left and right stereo outputs to the fi rst two speakers’ analogue INPUT A connections (the left and
right mixer outputs will go to separate speakers). Then, run cables from the OUTPUT analogue connections
to the remaining two speakers. In a similar way, subwoofers can also be linked to the analogue OUTPUT.
iX Series Bluetooth Instructions
Bluetooth Connection
To play audio from a Bluetooth-enabled device, you will need at least one iX speaker and an iPad*/
iPhone*/Android*/Windows* device with basic Bluetooth connectivity. With a basic Bluetooth connection,
all related iX DSP functions must still be controlled directly from the iX rear panel via the rotary encoder.
For Apple iOS devices, you can also download a dedicated TURBOSOUND iX Bluetooth app from the
Apple App Store. This iX Bluetooth app allows you to control a single or stereo pair of iX 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 iX speaker and minimize the volume.
3. Select “Pair device” from the SLAVE speaker’s Bluetooth menu.
4. Check that your remote device is searching for a connection.
5. Once your device detects the iX speaker, select the iX speaker from your remote device’s menu
(e.g., “TURBOSOUND iX12”).
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., “Coolpad8150”).
7. Bluetooth music can now be streamed to your iX speaker. The stereo signal will automatically mix down
to mono.
8. The iX 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 fi rst 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.
