INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION
The External Speaker Bar is an add on module for the Konnekt Videophone. It is used to increase volume when the
Videophone speakers are not loud enough, or to improve audio quality for those that find the standard speakers need more
bass. The External Speaker Bar can provide a significant increase in volume, and provides improved sound quality, with more
bass tones in particular.
The External Speaker Bar is a Cyber Acoustics model CA-2880. It has been chosen for use with the Videophone due to the
sound quality and volume, but also because it conforms to the Konnekt philosophy of simplicity, and reliability ....
It derives power from a standard USB port. It therefore does not need charging and cannot accidentally go flat.
•
It has a simple, real power switch, instead of an intelligent "soft" switch, so it is on when the Videophone is on.
•
No USB audio drivers or setup required. Sound is instead obtained from the Videophone 3.5mm Audio Out socket.
•
Volume can be adjusted using a physical volume knob on the Speaker Bar. No computer skills required.
•

Installation Tips

Installation Tips Installation Tips Installation Tips
To avoid feedback, the Speaker Bar must not be installed close to the microphone, and the speakers should be aimed
•
away from the microphone. Placing on top of the Videophone is NOT recommended.
If necessary, cover the Power Switch and Volume Knob with electrical tape or similar, to prevent accidental
•
adjustment or switching off by the Videophone user.
If the blue LED is too bright at night, cover it with a small piece of black electrical tape or similar.
•
However, DO NOT cover the entire speaker bar or any part of the Videophone with cloth or other objects.
