Move the devices closer so that they are within 10 meters, and unobstructed by obstacles such as walls or doors. Items such as microwave ovens, wireless network adapters, fluorescent lights, and gas cookers use the same frequency range as the Bluetooth device. This may lead to electrical disturbances.
THERE IS A CRACKLING SOUND	The amplifier is clipping as it has run out of output power.	Decrease the volume on your audio source. Lower the volume or bass on the Stanmore II.
THE AUDIO IS DISTORTED	Volume is set too high on the audio source. The audio stream or audio file is of poor quality. Volume is set too high on the Stanmore II. Too much bass/treble on the speaker.	Turn down the playback volume on the audio source. Try another audio file or music player. Lower the volume on the speaker. Lower the bass/treble on the speaker.
