Before You Begin
For your safety, the SongBook MAX is shipped from the factory with partially charged batteries. With the unit off, connect a power supply (not included) and plug it into a wall outlet to charge the batteries. The SongBook MAX supports USB PD Fast charging via the USB-C Charge Port. The power delivered by the charger must be between min 5 Watts required by the Songbook MAX, and max 30 Watts in order to achieve the maximum charging speed.
Like many rechargeable devices, you may see a delay before the LED starts to blink when the SongBook MAX is brand new and first plugged in, or when left unused for several weeks. This is a feature of the power management system designed to protect the batteries from damage. It may take up to 4 charge/discharge cycles before the batteries are operating at full capacity.

You can control the volume of the speaker using the volume control on the SongBook MAX or with the volume control of your audio source. Your input may require the use of a 1/4” to 1/8” (6.35mm to 3.5mm) adapter.
AMP / LINE Toggle Switch
This toggle switch controls the onboard preamp, allowing you to connect a
variety of inputs.
LINE: Set the toggle to Line when plugging in a line or headphone level
source. This setting turns the onboard preamp OFF, and is for use with inputs
that do not require additional amplification.
Use this setting when connecting an MP3 player, record player, keyboard or
other line-level inputs.
AMP: Set the toggle to Amp when plugging in a guitar, bass or other
instruments requiring a high impedance input. This setting turns the onboard
preamp ON, and is for use with instruments or other inputs that require
additional amplification.
Use this setting when connecting instruments or other inputs requiring a high
impedance input.
AMP IT UP
With the switch set to AMP, the AUX IN Input is active in Bluetooth Mode. Use
this feature for home practice, or open mic nights! Stream a track on
Bluetooth and play along using the AMP input.
CAUTION:
Always turn the volume down to 0 before plugging in or unplugging your aux
input.
If you are unsure which preamp setting to use:
- First set the toggle to LINE
- If you need more volume: set the toggle to AMP
- Take care to not set the toggle switch to AMP when connecting a line level source. The additional input volume may cause damage to the SongBook MAX’s speakers.
EQ Section
Use the sliders to tailor the sound to your liking. Adjust the Lo, Mid and Hi frequency ranges – each slider ranges from -6 dB to +6dB. The points on the front panel by the slider correspond with +/- 2, 4, 6 dB. The setting of the slider will also be displayed temporarily on the display.
About The Battery Pack
The SongBook uses a sealed pack of Lithium Ion cells. The display and front panel LED serve as a power, battery power and charge status indicator. Use only an authorized Tivoli Audio SongBook Lithium-Ion battery. The estimated battery life on a full charge is 10 hours. Note: battery life varies depending on volume and EQ settings.
Low Battery
When the SongBook MAX is switched On but not plugged in, as the batteries
become discharged, the LED Indicator will change to red, indicating the
batteries are in need of being recharged. The remaining playback time from the
moment the LED indicates Red until the SongBook MAX shuts off is estimated
between 30 minutes and 1 hour. For instance, the SongBook MAX will likely play
longer off of the batteries at a low volume than at higher volume levels. As
you use your Songbook MAX, you will develop a better idea of how much playback
time you have before recharging is necessary. You may also notice reduced
battery playback time with SongBook MAX when using Bluetooth®.
Leaving the SongBook MAX plugged for long periods of time when not in use may cause premature wear to the batteries. There is no harm in operating the SongBook MAX with the power supply, however charge time will be affected. The SongBook MAX is always running off the battery, even when plugged in and charging. FM and DAB reception may be effected when the SongBook MAX is powered on and charging.
