INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT: BEFORE COMMENCING ANY ELECTRICAL WORK ENSURE THE SUPPLY IS SWITCHED OFF AT THE MAINS. IF YOU ARE UNSURE HOW TO FIT SEEK HELP FROM A PROFESSIONAL ELECTRICIAN/AV INSTALLER

1. Mark out the position of the speaker using a tape measure and mark using a pencil with the template supplied. Check using a stud finder to make sure no obstruction is present prior to cutting.
2. Drill a pilot hole and cut the speaker hole using a cutting saw. Take caution when cutting to keep fingers away from the cutting blade and wear protective eyewear.
3. Connect the power lead from the transformer (supplied) to a 13A mains plug socket or terminate to a dedicated 3A fused spur. Ensure the power lead is not overstretched.
4. Insert the speaker into the ceiling then using a screwdriver lock the 4 dog leg fixings to secure the speaker in place, do not over tighten. Attach the magnetic grille to the speaker front.

PAINTING THE SPEAKER GRILLE
Do not paint the speaker grilles whilst attached to the speaker. Lithe Audio recommends spray painting using 5 parts thinning agent to 1-part paint. Spray thinly to ensure speaker cover grille holes are not blocked as this will affect the sound quality of the speakers.
INSTALLATIONS IN FIRE-RATED CEILINGS
If you plan to mount your speakers in a fire-rated ceiling, you should purchase a fire hood for the
speaker. Visit www.litheaudio.com for more information and recommended hoods.

SETUP AND PAIRING

BLUETOOTH SETUP APP

Have multiple speakers in the home? Use this App to set up & identify each speaker easily by giving each a unique name and if want to give a password. You can also configure it so the speaker works with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, or TV wirelessly. For more information visit:
www.litheaudio.com/bluetooth-5-setup- app.html

HARD WIRED INPUT- RCA INPUT

To connect other devices that may not have a Bluetooth connection (such as Turn tables, CD players, mp4 players, or mini-discs!)
RCA CONNECTION: To play music via speaker RCA connection connect an RCA cable to the speaker and play through your device. Ensure ALL Bluetooth connections are turned off to be able to play through the speaker. The LED will turn green when playing using RCA.

ADDITIONAL SPEAKER – OPTIONAL

PLEASE NOTE: LBT1 DOES NOT INCLUDE PASSIVE SPEAKER
With the Lithe Audio Master Bluetooth ceiling the speaker is able to connect to and power an additional passive speaker via the speaker out-put (+/-). Use wire cutters to strip the ends of the speaker cable (if required). This setup is ideal for Kitchen diners or larger rooms where you want a true stereo setup.

LITHE-LINKTM SETUP

For larger or open-plan rooms the Lithe-link feature will allow you to connect up to 3 master speakers and their passive/slaves and play audio from all the speakers at once. Depending on which master speaker you connect to and how the speakers are wired will then determine how many speakers will play. For larger or open-plan rooms the Lithe-link feature will allow you to connect up to 3 master speakers and their passive/slaves and play audio from all the speakers at once. Depending on which master speaker you connect to and how the speakers are wired will then determine how
many speakers will play. To connect the speakers you will need a 3.5mm to 3.5mm Jack cable (Not supplied, as length will vary in all situations) Connect one end to the Line OUT (Pink connector block) and the other to the Line IN (Green connector block)

SETUP WITH FULL LOOP CONNECTION
Adding a connection between the first and last master speaker will create a full loop system. When connected to whichever master speaker you connect to, all the masters and their passive speakers will play. This will ensure in a large room you will always be within the range of a speaker to connect to.
This setup is ideal for open-plan rooms where you always want all speakers to play at once.
SETUP WITHOUT FULL LOOP CONNECTION
This configuration will allow you to play only the speaker you connect to and the masters and passives connect after it with the link cable. For Example, if you have a 6-speaker setup and you connect to Speaker A then speakers A, B, and C will play. If you connect to Speaker B then only speakers B and C will play. Connect to Speaker C then only Speaker C will play. This setup is ideal for a floorplan with multiple areas or rooms where you may not always
want to play the whole area at once.

LITHE-LINK SPEAKER SETUP OPTIONS

STEREO / MONO SELECTOR
If using a secondary passive speaker you can select if the music is played in Stereo (left and right channels) or in Bridged Mono (single channel). Use the switch on the back of the speaker to select Stereo or Mono output.
VOLUME CAPPING SWITCH
If installing in a hotel room or commercial space you may wish to cap the volume at 50%. Using the Volume capping switch on the back of the speaker you can select either 100% or 50% max volume output.
LED INDICATOR COVER
To mask the LED indicator, use the LED cover sticker included
CONNECTION RESET BUTTON
