Pick Your Speaker Locations
Speakers sound best when they point toward your ears. The T0 Plus has been
designed to make this easy, whether used on a desk or in a room.
The support is optional for desktop usage, but we recommend leaving it
installed if you have space to improve portability. For spaced constrained
applications the supplied 2.5mm Allen wrench can be used to remove the support
(reinstall the screws in the amplifier plate if the support is removed). The
support can also be moved to the other side of the cabinet, as the T0 Plus
works with the passive radiator facing either up or down. Note that when the
passive radiator faces down the support must face down too; the speaker cannot
be allowed to rest on the passive radiator.
Desktop Usage
Place the speakers on the supplied pads with the supports and passive
radiators facing up. Position the active speaker with the connections on the
right side of your seated position (this can be changed in software). Try to
get your speakers at equal distance on each side.
In-Room Usage
Place the speakers on the supplied pads with the supports and passive
radiators facing down. Position the active speaker with the connections on the
right side of your listening position (this can be changed in software).
Ideally your speakers should be at equal distance from your best listening
position on each side, and approximately at ear level when you are seated.
Connect the Speakers
The included speaker interconnect cable with modular RJ50 connectors makes this a “snap”!
Connect Power
Plug in the AC adapter to the wall and to the active speaker.
Connect Your Audio Source
Your T0 Plus speakers support analog, USB, optical, and Bluetooth wireless connections.
- Analog — Connect your source using the included using 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable or 3.5mm to RCA cable as appropriate for your source component.
- USB — Connect your computer to the T0 Plus using the supplied USB A to USB B cable. Select the Vanatoo T0 Plus in your computer’s audio settings.
- Optical — Connect your source component to the Vanatoo T0 Plus using a Toslink optical cable.
- Bluetooth —
a. Press and release the “Pair-Prog” button on the rear of the active speaker, or press “Enable” and then “BT Pair” on the remote control.
b. Ensure Bluetooth is turned-on on your source device and pair with the Vanatoo T0 Plus.
c. Ensure your source device is connected to the Vanatoo T0 Plus over Bluetooth and play music!
Install the Grills
Grills come in individual plastic bags. Simple magnetic mounting (no or little alignment necessary). Can go either way such that the “Vanatoo” logo is upright on the bottom.
Listen to Music!
In most applications you can set the T0 Plus volume control to 100% and adjust the volume up/down from your source (Computer, Bluetooth device, etc).
Remote Control
The included IR Remote Control is especially handy when your T0 Plus is used with a TV, or for switching sources, adjusting bass and treble, etc. Note that you must hit the “Enable” button to enable the other buttons inside the rectangular box for 30 seconds.
Optional Settings
The T0 Plus has a lot of setup options, such as enabling the speakers to play mono, disabling sleep mode, varying the LED brightness, connecting a subwoofer and alternate bass profiles for room placement.
