USER MANUAL

CONGRATULATIONS!

YOU HAVE TAKEN A LEAP OF FAITH.

A step towards a world of wireless bliss. It takes a great deal of courage to liberate yourself from the shackles of speaker cables and ordinary stereo systems. But you have jumped right into it.

FOR THIS WE SALUTE YOU.

We have done everything in our power to make your Libratone sound system as simple and user friendly as possible. Hopefully this manual will answer any questions you might have.

Thank you for buying our product. Thank you for joining the revolution.

FULLROOM™

Libratone speakers are based on a patent-pending audio technology. We call it FullRoom™ sound. Allow us to explain:

Regular speakers have closed cabinets. They push the sound waves in one direction – forward. Libratone Live and Libratone Lounge, on the other hand, plays like an acoustic instrument, dispersing sound waves in multiple directions giving you a 360° sound experience.

FullRoom technology means that you only need one sound source to get a room full of sound.

MUSIC AT HOME  – AIRPLAY

AirPlay is a technology designed by Apple to transmit audio and video instantly from source to source within a Wi-Fi network. Once AirPlay is installed, you can stream from iTunes – both on Mac and PC – or you can use your iOS devices: iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. This means that you have your entire music and movie library in the palm of your hand, ready to be set free.

MUSIC ON THE GO – PlayDirect

Libratone PlayDirect™ is AirPlay to go. It allows you to stream your music wirelessly in non-Wi-Fi areas from PC/Mac or your iOS devices: iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. Libratone PlayDirect™ technology creates a direct network connection between your speaker and music device.

LIVE PLACEMENT

Thanks to our FullRoom technology a speaker from Libratone is very versatile when it comes to placement. Still, we would like to give you our advice:

If you place Libratone Live against a hard backdrop with about 20cm/8 inches of air, the sound will reflect off the wall. This gives you a deeper bass and an even fuller soundscape. This in mind, we don’t recommend you place Libratone Live in a corner but it’s up to you.

To optimize and customize your Libratone sound experience we recommend you download the Libratone app.

LOUNGE PLACEMENT

Thanks to our FullRoom technology a speaker from Libratone could be placed just about anywhere. Still, a piece of good advice won’t hurt:
To create the best sound conditions Libratone Lounge should be placed against a hard backdrop.

Whether you hang it on the wall, place it on a shelf or put it on the ground won’t change the sound.
If you want to use Libratone Lounge for TV-sound, we recommend you place the TV and speaker together to get the best stereo effect and the optimal FullRomm conditions.

LIBRATONE APP

Add another dimension to your Libratone speaker by downloading the free Libratone app from Apple’s App Store to your iOS device.

The Libratone app keeps your speaker firmware up to date and allows you to customize the sound to your music style and acoustic surroundings – and thereby enhancing the FullRoom experience.

• Hold “Logo Button” while powering up the speaker.
• Release the “Logo Button” when it turns solid YELLOW.
• After 45 sec. of pulsing YELLOW the speaker will emit the WHITE setup sequence and enter Setup Mode.

CONNECT AUX

You can connect the old fashioned way as well, by using the 3,5 mini jack/digital mini plug. This is a great way of upgrading the mediocre sound of your TV. You can use both the analog and the digital ports of your TV. We recommend you use the analog connection (‘headphone out’), since this enables you to use your TV remote control to adjust the volume.

If you choose the digital connection, you need to download our app to control the volume. On most Apple products you can adjust the volume directly on the product – also when you use the digital connection.

Oh, by the way – in our world wireless always trumps wires. This means that your wireless streaming overrules the AUX connection.

So make sure nothing is streaming, when you want to use AUX.

CLEANING

Your Libratone product is covered in fine Italian wool, so please don’t use it as a coffee table. You can use a lint roller to remove lint from the fabric or vacuum at very low power with a special textile brush/head.

COVER CHANGE

Gone are black speaker boxes! Libratone Live and Libratone Lounge comes in all colors of the rainbow. Can’t decide on a color? Don’t worry! The wool covers are sold separately and can easily be changed.
To buy new speaker covers, please visit our Web Shop at:

When cleaning or changing the cover, gentle is the name of the game.
