Model: SEI-SETXAUD User Guide
Important
- Please read this User Guide before installation and use.
- CAUTION: The power input voltage range for your Audio Rocker Switch Remote Control (referred to as Switch) is 9V to 16V. It is designed to work with a +12V DC battery power supply. If your vehicle battery power output is not 12V (e.g., 24V, 36V, or 48V), you will need a voltage converter with 12V output (e.g., a 48V-to-12V converter). Connecting the Switch directly to higher voltages will cause damage to your device and VOID THE PRODUCT WARRANTY.
- The Switch is capable of handling switching power with current loads up to 20A at 12VDC. Don’t connect it to a device with operating current exceeding 20A.
- The Switch has a Remote Turn-On Output feature; this is an optional connection. When the Switch is turned on, it outputs a 12V signal, which can be used to control the Remote Turn-On Input on many SoundExtreme products, including our marine radios, and amplified tower speakers (sold separately).
- The Switch has a built-in RF remote transmitter, which is designed to pair with and control SoundExtreme soundbars, marine radios, and amplified tower speakers (sold separately).
- The Switch fits in a standard Carling rocker switch opening, which is commonly used in the dashboard of many off-road vehicles, boats, and golf cars. The Switch panel is waterproof; however, the housing behind the panel is only splash proof.
- CAUTION: In order to make sure there is no potential damage to your audio system, unplug or power off your audio equipment until after all connections are completed.
Introduction
Features
The Switch is an all-in-one device providing power, audio, and LED lighting
(Scenes) controls to a paired SoundExtreme product.
Remote Turn-On Output
In addition to opperating as a power switch, the Switch also has a +12V Remote
Turn-On signal output, which can be connected to a SoundExtreme product’s
Remote Turn-On Input. That SoundExtreme product can then be automatically
turned on or off when you turn the Switch on or off.
RF Remote Transmitter
The Switch has a built-in RF 433MHz remote transmitter, which is used to pair
with and control SoundExtreme audio products. The first time you use the
Switch, you will need to pair it with a product. Once they are paired, your
product will remember your Switch. Next time you power on your product, your
Switch’s remote functions will be ready to use.

Installation and Wiring
Installing Your Switch Onto Your Vehicle
The Switch is designed to snap into a standard Carling style rocker switch
opening.
- If you already have that style of an opening on your vehicle, you can simply snap the Switch into place.
- If your vehicle doesn’t already have that style of an opening, you will need to cut a rectangular hole into your vehicle. Before you cut, please refer to the dimensions under the Specifications section to determine the cutout size.
Connecting to an External Speaker
If you want to provide power to and control an external SoundExtreme product’s
power on and off feature, you will need to
connect it to the Switch’s Accessory Power Outputs and Remote Turn-On Ouput.
Accessory Power Outputs
Connect the Switch’s Accessory Power Outputs
(+12V and GND) to the power inputs on the SoundExtreme product you want to
control.
Make sure that the Switch’s RED +12V Wire is connected to the SoundExtreme
product’s RED Wire and the Switch’s BLACK GND Wire is connected to the
SoundExtreme product’s BLACK Wire.
Remote Turn-On Output
Besides the 12V power supply, the Switch has an optional Remote
Turn-On Signal Output to turn on and power off the SoundExtreme product you
want to control. The output voltage is 12V.
If your SoundExreme product has a Remote Turn-On Input, follow the steps
below:
- Connect the Switch’s (Dark Blue) Remote Turn-On Output Wire to the SoundExtreme product’s Remote Turn-On Input. You may need an extension cable (not included).
- Once the connections are completed, the SoundExtreme product will automatically turn on or off when the Switch is turned on or off.
Connecting to 12VDC Power Supply
When you install the Switch to a battery or a voltage regulator on a golf
cart, a boat, a quad bike, a UTV, or another vehicle, you need to make sure
that your vehicle battery or battery pack terminal voltage is 12VDC. If the
battery terminal voltage is not 12V, you will need a DC–DC converter with
output 12V. Connecting the Switch to a non-12VDC power source will lead to a
malfunction or damage to the Switch.
Recommendation: If you are not familiar with all of the vehicle’s battery
or ignition switch connections, consult your vehicle’s manual or a technician.
Incorrect connections to your vehicle’s battery or ignition signal terminal
may cause damage to your speaker and your vehicle. Connect the +12V and GND
wires to the 12VDC power supply. · Make sure that the RED Wire is connected to
+12V battery’s positive (+) terminal and the BLACK Wire is connected to
battery’s negative (-) terminal. WARNING! Only connect to a 12V power
supply. Do NOT connect to a 24V, 36V, or 48V power supply. Connecting the
Switch directly to these higher voltages will cause damage to the Switch and
VOID THE PRODUCT WARRANTY.
Audio Functions
First Time RF Remote Pairing
The first time you use the Switch, you will need to pair
the Switch with a SoundExtreme product. This process is only needed for the
first time you use the Switch with a product.
Please follow the steps below for first-time pairing:
-
Press and hold the Power Button to turn the Switch on.
-
Enable RF remote pairing on your SoundExtreme product.
Example: On a SoundExtreme Elite Soundbar, press and hold both the and Buttons on the Soundbar at the same time for 3 seconds. The Soundbar’s LED Party Lights will flash Green, indicating it is ready to pair with a remote. -
On your Switch, double-click the Power Button . Your Switch will start pairing.
-
Once paired, a SoundExtreme Elite Soundbar’s LED Party Lights will rapidly flash Green 3 times, indicating a successful pairing.
Note: If the paired SoundExtreme product is not a Soundbar, it may produce a different prompt to indicate a successful pairing. Please refer to the product’s User Guide. -
Now you can press a button on the Switch, such as the Audio Mode Button, to check if your SoundExtreme product responds.
