CONNECTING SOURCES

The ELARA active speakers can be paired with a variety of sources. Here are the various options :
Connection via Bluetooth
This enables you to stream music wirelessly thanks to latest generation 4.0 A2DP aptX Bluetooth technology. AptX is a coding system which enables you to stream music to your Elara speakers via Bluetooth, delivering sound approaching CD-quality. The range is of about 10 meters, depending on the surroundings and obstacles within the path.
Elara active speakers lets you play music from any Bluetooth-enabled sources: smartphone, tablet, computer, etc. To do so:

When you search on your Bluetooth device (refer to the user guide if needed), the speakers should appear under the name “LN01A” or “LN05A”, you can then connect to this. Your speakers are now linked to your device and will reproduce the sound from the device. The connection will be made automatically next time you switch on your speakers if Bluetooth is selected and enabled on your device.
If you wish to connect another device while the previous one is still connected, disable the Bluetooth connection from your formerly paired device or disconnect it directly from the Bluetooth menu. The LED will blink again, and the seeking mode will be activated.
Elara active’s Bluetooth process allows you to change track, play and pause directly from your remote, without using the connected device.
