Product Introduction

The iui DESIGN UD-1404 “IMMERSE” multi-room 2.1 sound bar is a breakthrough in providing high performance
audio to your TV and also your entire home. You’re in control – you can use sound bar with other iui DESIGN
Wi-Fi speakers to create a whole-house system, and the configuration options are almost limitless.
Historically, if you wanted to listen to music from your TV or digital device, you could connect to your speaker with
a 3.5mm audio cable, or Bluetooth. But IMMERSE provides you breakthrough flexibility. While it connects via an
audio cable, optical digital cable and Bluetooth, it also can connect by Wi-Fi and wired Ethernet.
And by using Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet, you can create a whole home audio system, so that you have music
distributed throughout your home.
To get the best experience from IMMERSE, it’s good to understand some basics. First and foremost, you can
simply connect the product to your TV by using the optical or coaxial digital audio input, or 3.5mm stereo audio
line in. But to play your music to the sound bar and also to other Wi-Fi speakers, you need to take a few
additional steps. But, let’s first walk through the basics…
Since IMMERSE is a very high-performance sound bar with amazing technology capability, you have options to
meet your lifestyle. First, you need to decide how to connect your TV and other digital devices to the product, and
what the trade-offs are for each type of connection.
3.5mm Audio Line-in:
If you use the 3.5mm stereo audio line in, you can simply connect your audio source to IMMERSE, and you can
enjoy high performance audio. Of course, you will be limited to one IMMERSE sound bar and you have to remain
physically connected.
Bluetooth:
Bluetooth is a simple wireless connection to connect your digital source to your IMMERSE. Bluetooth technology
only connects from one source (your TV or other digital source, like a PC or Smartphone) to one speaker, such as
IMMERSE sound bar. And Bluetooth has lower sound performance than a wired 3.5mm audio connection, due to
compression of the signal during wireless transmission. Its range is also limited, typically to one room.
Wi-Fi:
Using Wi-Fi, you can connect your Wi-Fi digital source (such as your TV, PC, Mac, tablet, smartphone, etc) to the
Product Introduction

06
IMMERSE sound bar or more Wi-Fi speakers. The benefit of Wi-Fi over Bluetooth is important – Wi-Fi allows you
to stream one source to IMMERSE sound bar and other iui DESIGN Wi-Fi speakers all over your house (because
Wi-Fi typically has longer range), and the bandwidth of Wi-Fi is much higher than Bluetooth, so the quality of the
sound performance is essentially the same as a 3.5mm wired audio connection.
Of course, Wi-Fi performance in the home is influenced by many factors – the quality of your wireless router, how
many people are connected to the router and downloading at the same time, the number of routers that are
active (which is really important in high-density housing such as apartment buildings).
In general, we recommend a maximum of one IMMERSE and two iui DESIGN Wi-Fi speakers connected to your
router. More is possible if you take certain technical steps to improve your bandwidth – but that discussion is
beyond the scope of this manual.
And Wi-Fi performance is impacted by the capability of your Wi-Fi enable digital device – for example, an iOS
based product such as an iPhone can only reliably connect to one Wi-Fi device at a time. But if you use iTunes on
your PC or Mac, you can connect to multiple Wi-Fi speakers. You can also use Android smartphones, tablets
and PC’s to connect using a standard known as DLNA, and connects to multiple Wi-Fi speakers.
Wired Ethernet:
Wired Ethernet, where the IMMERSE is connected to your router or Ethernet switch with an Ethernet cable will
give you the best performance. You can typically connect many more than three Wi-Fi speakers. Ultimately, there
is a limitation of your router or Ethernet switch, but for most standard residential users this is not a factor. And
wired Ethernet will give you the audio performance of a 3.5mm wired connection.
So the first decision you will have to make is how you want to connect to IMMERSE. Once you make that
decision, then you can follow the easy steps in this manual to start enjoying your music.
If you are using an iPhone or /and Android device, we have an app that makes it easy to set-up your IMMERSE.
You can use the app to connect the IMMERSE to your home network, you can name it (Living Room, Bedroom,
Den), and you can assign IMMERSE and other iui DESIGN Wi-Fi speakers to groups, so that you can play your
music to one, some or all Wi-Fi speakers and sound bar.
The IMMERSE application also updates the software on your IMMERSE sound bar, keeping it current and up to
date. The IMMERSE application does not take the place of your music player software, such as iTunes, Windows
Media Player or streaming music service applications such as Pandora. The application lets you configure your
IMMERSE speakers, and then you use your favorite applications to select and play music.

Placement
Placement
IMMERSE is typically used in one of two configurations – wall mounted or
“table top”. For better sound experience, the sound bar should be placed at
or close to ear level.
Option 1: Tabletop
Simply place IMMERSE on a flat surface horizontally with the iui DESIGN logo
facing the listener. The rubber feet on IMMERSE will cushion it on the flat
surface.
Option 2: Wall Mounting
IMMERSE includes screw mounting holes on the back of the sound bar, just
follow the steps below to mount it on wall.
1. Fasten the 2 included screws to the wall. The screws should protrude 11 to
12mm from the wall to allow them to fit into the screw holes on the back of
IMMERSE. Please ensure that the screws are securely installed. Depending
on your wall material, you may need to use other screws to get a strong
installation, or consult a professional to install the screws.
2. Hang IMMERSE on to the screws. You may need to adjust the screws for
best fit. Remember to connect IMMERSE to the power and audio cables
(see below) before final mounting.

12 Connecting to your TV
Subwoofer
The subwoofer should be placed flat surface, preferably on the floor. For stable
connection with the soundbar, place it within 3 meters or 9 feet from the soundbar.
Connect to TV
