Speaker Placement
Some helpful guidelines which will help you achieve the best performance from
your BeatboxTM.
Your BeatboxTM is designed and engineered to sound great anywhere you place
it. However, realising that every space is different, there are placements which
will maximise the performance of your BeatboxTM. The home environment can
present a challenge in choosing the best location for your BeatboxTM. The trick is
to place the BeatboxTM in a location which will take advantage of the acoustic
properties of your room and give you the best overall balance of sound.
Distance to the side walls, back wall and corners can have the biggest impact
on the sound of your BeatboxTM. The closer the BeatboxTM is to a wall, oor or
ceiling the more bass reinforcement you will receive. Maximum bass comes
when it is placed in a corner.
The shape of BeatboxTM allows you to place it perfectly into a corner, giving you
a great combo of space saving and deep bass. The surface you place your
BeatboxTM on can also signicantly impact the sound. Make sure you place your
BeatboxTM on a solid surface to avoid unwanted distortion to the sound.
The height of your BeatboxTM in relation to your listening position can also affect
the sound quality. Ideally, your BeatboxTM should be as close to ear level as
possible and at least four feet away from your listening position for the best
performance.

UK English
Troubleshooting
The table can help solve most operating problems with your BeatboxTM. First,
follow these precautions:
• Remove your iPod®/iPhone®from the dock completely.
• Reseat it in the dock rmly.
• Make sure your iPod®/iPhone®has the latest software installed.
We encourage you to spend the time to experiment with the location of your
BeatboxTM. Trial and error is the best way to hear how your BeatboxTM reacts
in your environment. Take your time to nd the ideal location to ensure you
experience the best sound quality your BeatboxTM can offer.

Problem What to do
My
BeatboxTM
suddenly
stopped
working
and the
red LED is
ashing.
• Carefully check if the back plate of the amplier is
hot. If the BeatboxTM has been running at its highest
power output for an extended period, the amplier may
have overheated and the protection circuitry has
shut down the BeatboxTM temporarily. Your BeatboxTM
provides maximum protection from amplier
overdrive and overheating. Switch off the BeatboxTM
and wait 30 minutes to let the back plate cool down.
Switch the power back on.
• Raise the volume to check that it is operating normally.
• If the BeatboxTM is still not responding, contact
the dealer you purchased it from, or Beats®.
