For desktop usage, embedding operation is simple (see
the picture inset), just align the stand protrusion with the
rectangle stand receptacle in the bottom of the unit. Make
sure it is seated and engaged properly.
There are two screw holes of the bottom of the stand. They
should automatically align the screw holes of the bottom
of the unit.
Secure the stand to the unit using the screws (x2)
provided.
For best bass response, the speaker should be placed
near a wall.
To avoid adverse sound quality, do not place the speaker in
confined areas that are enclosed or block the sound wave
dynamics.

MOUNTING YOUR SPEAKER ON A WALL
Place the measurement paper provided in the desired location against the
wall and mark the screw locations (x2) with a pencil, using the measurement
paper as a template. Use a tape measure to measure the height from the
floor to the marked holes and make sure they are level and equidistant. If
you plan to feed wires through the wall, mark the pilot hole position first.
Choose the screws to fit the hole of the wall-mounting bracket, however if
your wall surface is hard, like concrete, drill pilot holes to insert anchor
plugs for the screws to engage with. Remember always measure twice.
Secure the screws (x2) on the wall.
Mounting operation is simple (see the picture inset), just hanging the
wall-mounting bracket of the Collage speaker on the screws. The speaker
now is ready to use.

NOTICE!
Do not mount the speaker on surfaces that are not sturdy enough, or have
hazards, such as electrical wire or plumbing, concealed behind them. If
you are unsure about installing the speaker, contact a qualified professional.
The brackets were specifically designed to support the weight
of‘Collage’only.
NOTICE!
The ELECTROSTATZ™ tweeter panels, LHS & RHS, are dipole i.e. sound waves
travel in both directions. To maintain the highest quality acoustic
performance, never block the rear sound output area and always maintain at
least a 3cm distance between the tweeter panels and the wall. The mounting
bracket will automatically provided the clearance required.

CONNECTING THE AC POWER
NOTICE!
For safety purposes always turn off the main power switch when
plugging or unplugging in the device.
The universal power adaptor that comes with Collage accepts multiple
voltages (100-240V); however users are advised to check regional AC
voltage supply and plug type before connecting to the power supply.
Prior to connecting to the power supply, make sure the
speakers are switched off first. Engage the male DC-in plug and female
DC-in receptacle on the rear of the device. Turn on the speakers’ power
as indicated below.

INPUT FROM 3.5MM STEREO JACK
You can connect non Bluetooth enabled audio devices, such as a portable digital MP3 player, with
Filo. This requires using an audio cable with a 3.5 mm stereo plug and cable to connect with the
3.5mm jack input on the Filo system.
Make sure the speakers are switched off.
Connect the 3.5mm plug to audio source (e.g. MP3 player)
Connect the other 3.5mm plug end to Filo
Disconnect any Bluetooth connections
Play music from a player connected via the 3.5mm stereo cable.
Note: Using higher quality cables will improve the sound quality and help Filo speakers realize
their full potential.
Automatic Power shutdown. If there is no Bluetooth connection or Line-in connection for over 10
minutes, the system shall automatically shutdown. User needs to power on the system for usage
after automatic shutdown.

OPTIMIZATION OF AUDIO PERFORMANCE
IN2UIT systems feature proprietary, leading edge Electrostatic Loudspeaker (ESL) technology that we call our
ELECTROSTATZ®tweeter technology. The ethereal acoustic characteristics provide the user with the highest
class of audio playback. In order to maximize this performance, it is advised to read the following instructions:
1. ELECTROSTATZ® tweeters are dipole transducers. This means the sound waves are transmitted
from both sides of the diaphragm in opposite polarity. A dipole transducer produces one sound wave
to the front and another sound wave to the rear.
2. When mounted on the wall brackets, the distance and clearance from the ELECTROSTATZ® back
plane to the wall is optimal. In other possible placement criteria, users are advised to keep a
clearance of at least 3cm from any object that may cause blockage of the front and rear sound waves.
A blockage less than 3cm to the rear of ESL speakers may result in the loss of sound pressure and
less volume output.
3. When correctly positioned, for example, closer to the wall, the reflected ESL back sound wave can
be amplified and help create a wider, deeper sound stage for more realistic acoustic performance.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Components of the highest quality are used in Collage. This assures years of trouble free operation. The
following precautions should still be strictly adhered to.
Cleaning
Use a specialized cleaning brush or vacuum cleaner (low setting) with nozzle attachment to clean speaker
cloth and device. If you wish to use a cleaning agent, apply it onto the cleaning cloth, not directly onto the
product. Test a small area first, as some cleaning products may damage the surfaces and materials. Avoid
products that are abrasive, contain acid, alkali or anti-bacterial agents.
Recycling used products
This product is subjected to the European Union Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment directive
(WEEE), 2002/96/EC. This product must not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste and must be
collected separately and disposed according to your national regulations.
