DEFUNC HOME MULTIROOM WI-FI SPEAKER

Defunc HOME is an audio system made up of one or several speakers, with powerful sound, Alexa built-in, AirPlay 2 built-in, Spotify Connect and several other audio streaming services, Bluetooth 5.0, AUX IN and of course, Wi-Fi connectivity. The best way to enjoy your speaker set up is via a Wi-Fi network since this makes it possible for you to place your speakers in different rooms and control your audio with the Defunc HOME app. The Defunc HOME app lets you adjust volume, set EQ, use lacement EQ, group/ungroup your speakers, set stereo/mono in an easy way, and more.
WHAT’S MULTIROOM?
Multiroom speakers are wireless speakers that you can connect to each other and control via for instance an app or voice AI. The speakers work best when connected to a Wi-Fi network, since this gives more stability and improved range. If you have two or more speakers in your home, you can create different speaker groups for different rooms. You can choose to play audio in a selected speaker, speaker group or all together, and you can play audio from many different audio streaming services via your device.

SET UP YOUR SPEAKER VIA WI-FI

Plug in your speaker. If this is the first time you’re setting up, the speaker will go into Wi-Fi set up mode automatically after it has booted up. Allow the speaker 25-30 seconds to boot up. Wait until you hear ”Now in set up mode. Follow the instructions in your device’s companion app.”
Open the Defunc HOME app.
The first thing the app does is to search for speakers that’s already been set up. As this is the first time you’re setting up, no speaker will be found. Therefore, tap “Add speaker” to start. Bluetooth is used by the app to find your speaker, so make sure your device’s Bluetooth is switched on.
Allow the app to access your device’s location, then tap “Next.”
Make sure the speaker is plugged in, then tap ”Next.”
Make sure that the left LED indicator on the front of the speaker is flashing with a yellow colour. Verify that it’s flashing by tapping on ”Indicator is flashing.” If the indicator isn’t flashing, tap ”Indicator is not flashing” and follow the instructions on screen.
The app lists all the available speakers as ”Defunc HOME SMALL XXXX” and ”Defunc HOME LARGE XXXX”. Tap on the speaker that you want to set up, then tap ”Next.” Please note: The first speaker in the list is always pre-selected.
In this next step, you will connect your speaker to your Wi-Fi network. The app has automatically chosen the Wi-Fi your device is connected to and has also auto-filled the password. Simply tap ”Next” or change Wi-Fi network and password first.
Your speaker is now connecting to your Wi-Fi network. The app will confirm a successful connection via voice and on screen. Tap ”Next” to continue.
The app is now looking for an app update. When done, the app will go to the next screen.
It’s now time to name your speaker. The speaker has a preentered product default name in the app. You can keep this name, change it to another preset name or create your own name. Tap the arrow in the top right corner on the screen when you’re done.
You can now choose to set up Alexa by following the instructions on screen. If you choose to skip setting up Alexa, tap the arrow in the top left corner on the screen to start using your speaker. To set up Alexa, refer to ”Setting up Alexa” in this manual.
