Introduction

This manual is for all three models.
For the purposes of this manual, the name "Envaya" is used to refer to the three products.
Their respective model names are used in the model-specific manuals.

Unpacking

• 
  USB to AC power adapter not included.

Overview

Sound Quality

• Despite the compact size of Envaya, powerful playback sound is produced by using neodymium magnets in the magnetic circuit and utilizing an original surround shape in the passive radiator.
• Envaya is compatible with a wide range of codecs, including the high sound quality Qualcomm ® aptX™, AAC and SBC.
  Envaya automatically selects the optimum compatible codec for your Bluetooth device (smartphone or tablet) so you can enjoy high-grade wireless sound. aptX is also Low Latency compatible to minimize lag in the picture and audio (Not supported during stereo pairing).

Design

• Envaya has a slim stick design for easy carrying.
• Envaya has a waterproof and dustproof design to keep the unit safe if it gets wet or is exposed to dust clouds.
  This allows it to be used in a wider range of areas, such as by a pool or in dusty outdoor environments.

Operation

• Hands-free phone calls can be conducted using Envaya by pairing with a Bluetooth-compatible mobile phone.
• If you have two Envaya units*, you can make a stereo pair connection between them to create spatial stereo sound.
  * The two units must be the same model.
  * Stereo pair connection does not support aptX's Low Latency function.
