Connecting the STUDIOART A100 to a passive P100 Room Speaker

When switched off, the STUDIOART A100 can be connected to the passive STUDIOART P100 using the pre-assembled speaker cable (3m). The cable is included with the P100.

During start-up, the A100 will automatically recognize the P100 as the auxiliary speaker and assign it as the right channel. The A100 will play the left channel. If the A100 is on the right, you can simply swap the right / left assignment in the STUDIOART app.

In stereo mode, the battery life is correspondingly slightly shorter than in mono mode. If the P100 was subsequently connected to the A100 when it was already switched on, a P100 search can be carried out using the STUDIOART app. The detection can be started in the setup menu of the A100 with the field CHECK

Integration of A100 in the local network with WPS * function

Note: A100 as rear AND room loudspeaker
If an A100 is to be used alternately as room loudspeaker and rear / paired loudspeaker (from the Audio bar or A100 second loudspeaker), WLAN integration via WPS is not advisable, as the WLAN password (Key) is only communicated to the A100 once and in encrypted form. In this case, integration via the Apple or Android routine is preferable. More information can be found in the detailed operating instructions on the Redox homepage.
