Using the aux audio output

If you have more than one Hive Evolution speaker (or any other speaker with an aux input) you can connect them

together for a bigger sound. To do this:

– Connect your device to the Hive Evolution via Bluetooth or the aux input (3)

– Connect an aux cable (not supplied) from the aux output (5) on the Hive Evolution speaker to the aux input on

another speaker. If the second speaker also has an aux output, you can then connect a third speaker. You can

continue chaining speakers together for as long as you like. Connecting Hive Evolutions together will create the

best eect as the sound quality/volume will match.

Note: To help prevent phase cancellation, it is recommended to have the speakers around 1 m apart from each other.

PLEASE NOTE:

Your device will have an internal amplier and if it is playing digital les like MP3s it will also have an integrated

DAC (Digital Audio Converter). If you turn up the volume to 100%, your device will be sending distorted signals to the

Hive Evolution. To avoid this and to get the best sound quality from the speaker, we recommend that you do not run

your device any higher than 95% volume.

Call-handling

Answer a call When a call comes through, the Hive Evolution will play a ringtone.

Press the MFB (1) to answer the call

End call During a call, press the MFB (1) to end the call

Note: If using an Android phone, you can disable the hands free function. sTo do this:

1. Go to your device’s Bluetooth menu and press the settings icon next to ‘HIVE EVOLUTION’

2. Uncheck the ‘Call Audio’ box

Calls are now controlled and played through the phone as normal.
