• AUX AUDIO INPUT: Connect your Bluetooth ceiling speakers to a local television, WiFi media streamer or a local audio device such as a record player using the RCA audio inputs on the back of the speaker.
  
  
• CUSTOM BLUETOOTH NAME: Using the free iOS/Android app you can easily rename your speaker so that when it shows up on your smart phone it can say “Kitchen Speakers” instead of the default “Lithe Audio BT2”. This is perfect for homes with multiple Lithe Audio Bluetooth ceiling speakers as you’ll always know what speakers you are connecting to.
  
  
• VOLUME LIMITER: Looking to fit these speakers in a kid’s bedroom or in a hotel / AirBnB? Luckily Lithe Audio have thought of this and fitted a volume limiter switch on the rear of the speaker. At time of installation you can choose to have the amplifier at 50% or 100% power. Don’t worry, no one will ever know as your phone will still go to full volume however the speaker’s output will reduce thus keeping the neighbours happy!
  
  
• EASY TO INSTALL: Simply use the cut-out template to make a hole in your ceiling and connect the active master speaker to a local power or lighting circuit with the lighting transformer style wire-in power supply. With minimal wiring and no programming or setup required this speaker can be easily installed DIY or by an electrician / other competent trades person.

• STEREO / MONO: The Lithe Audio Bluetooth ceiling speakers can be installed as a single speaker, or as a pair of speakers. When a single speaker is installed, it will play in mono so that you don’t miss any of the audio channels. A pair can be set to “stereo” for true left and right audio output and optimum sound quality. You can also run a pair of speakers in mono which is ideal if you’re putting a single speaker in the bedroom and a single speaker in the dressing room for example.

Q. How Do I Power The Lithe Audio Bluetooth Ceiling Speaker?

A. The speaker comes with a laptop style inline power supply with a 230v fast-fix terminals. You can either install a fused spur above your ceiling, or wire into the permanent live of your lighting circuit (must be rated to 6A). The speaker comes with comprehensive installation instructions in the user manual and we recommend consulting an electrician for the installation.

 

Q. How Do I Set Up The Speakers?

A. Once installed there is very minimal setup required! You can simply pair your smartphone, tablet or computer to the speaker by going into your devices standard Bluetooth settings and searching. You will see “Lithe Audio BT2” to connect to. Once connected, anything your device plays will sound through the ceiling speakers. There is also a companion app available on the app stores that allows you to change the Bluetooth name (ideal if you're having more than one speaker per house) as well as changing the PIN code. Don't forget that Bluetooth is point to point so it can only connect to one device at any one time.

 

Q. How Many Speakers Do I Need For My Room?

A. We usually recommend one pair of speakers per 20-25sq. metres (so 5x5-6x6 metres). Larger rooms up to 10 metres would typically need four speakers. Smaller rooms under 4m x 4m such as bedrooms or studys can get away with a single speaker, however bear in mind that a single speaker plays in mono and a pair plays in stereo which signifcantly improves the sound quality.

 

Q. Do I Need A Separate Amplifier?

A. No. This product is a complete plug & play system. The amplifier and Bluetooth receiver is built into the back of one of the speakers (referred to as the “master” speaker) and the second passive speaker (referred to as the “slave” speaker) wires into the master speaker with the included speaker cable.

 

Q. Can I Use This Speaker In The Bathroom?

A. This is the standard version which is fit for living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, studies and other “dry" rooms. There is a specific IP44 rated model (Code: 03210) specifically for bathrooms that you can find by clicking here.

 

Q. Can I Use Amazon Alexa or Google Home For Voice Control?

A. Yes, you can pair the Lithe Audio Bluetooth ceiling speakers to an Amazon Echo device or a Google Home device (sold separately) via Bluetooth. This will remain connected at all times and anything your Alexa/Home plays will come through the ceiling speakers. 

 

Q. Can I Paint The Grilles?

A. All of our speakers come with white grilles as standard, however you can spray paint the grille any colour. You must use an aerosol spray paint, not emulsion.

 

Q. Can I Put Speakers In Multiple Rooms?

A. Yes absolutely, you can fit speakers in multiple rooms including bedrooms and bathrooms. You can also use the free companion app to change the Bluetooth name of each speaker so you can easily see on your device which speakers you are connecting to. Please bear in mind though that with Bluetooth ceiling speakers they are a point to point technology so you can connect your phone to one room at a time and playback music. Someone else can use a different speaker at the same time from a different device, but you can't make multiple speakers play the same music from one device (this is however possible with the Lithe Audio WiFi versions).

Q. Which Speaker Is The Left & Right?

A. When set to stereo in a master & pair setup the master speaker is the left channel and the passive slave speaker is the right channel./
