FAQs

Are the ceiling speakers truly waterproof?

The speakers are moisture-resistant, making them suitable for bathrooms and kitchens. They are not designed to be directly exposed to water spray or submersion.

Can I use Bluetooth to connect my phone?

This system primarily uses Wi-Fi for connectivity, which offers greater range and reliability. It does not feature Bluetooth connectivity.

What is the RMS power output of the amplifier?

The amplifier delivers 2x 40W RMS, with a peak power output of up to 80W.

How many amplifiers can I control with one app?

The app supports independent control of multiple amplifiers, enabling advanced multi-room or zoning setups.

What type of audio files can be played from USB or MicroSD?

The system generally supports common audio formats like MP3, WMA, and WAV. Refer to the instruction manual for a definitive list.

Do I need to hire a professional for installation?

While basic wiring is straightforward, cutting ceiling holes and running cables may require some DIY skill. For those uncomfortable with electrical work or ceiling modifications, professional installation is recommended.

What is included in the box?

The system includes one 80W Wi-Fi Stereo Amplifier, four 80W White Moisture Resistant Ceiling Speakers, 10m of speaker cable, and instruction manuals.

Troubleshooting

Amplifier not powering on

Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the amplifier and a working wall outlet. Check if the outlet itself is functioning.

No sound from speakers

Verify that speaker wires are correctly connected to both the amplifier and the speakers, ensuring proper polarity (+/-). Check the volume level in the app and ensure the correct input source is selected.

Wi-Fi connection unstable or not connecting

Restart your router and the amplifier. Ensure the amplifier is within range of your Wi-Fi signal. Check if your Wi-Fi password has changed. Re-run the Wi-Fi setup process via the app.

App cannot find or control the amplifier

Make sure your smartphone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the amplifier. Close and reopen the app. Restart both the amplifier and your smartphone.

Poor audio quality or distortion

Check that the amplifier is not being overdriven (volume too high for the speaker's RMS rating). Ensure speaker wires are not damaged and connections are secure. Verify the audio source file is of good quality.
