3.1 PRECAUTIONS
Read this manual carefully. It provides installation and operating instructions, information on Soul
Bar system configurations, and information that will help you get optimum performance from
your system. Visit levven.com/support or contact an authorized Levven Audio dealer for answers
to any questions you might have. All of us at Levven welcome your questions and comments.
3.2 PLACEMENT
The Soul Bar requires adequate clearance for optimum performance. Avoid blocking the speaker
in a cabinet or stacking with other equipment.
Take the weight of the sound bar into account if mounting on a wall. Make sure that you use
drywall/sheetrock anchors that can support the weight of the speaker.
When deciding the best location for Soul Bar, include the distance needed to transmit from out-
side spaces like the back yard or patio. The wireless SKAA transmitters broadcast to an 80-foot
(25-meter) diameter. For optimum wireless reception and audio performance, mount your Soul
Bar horizontally (feet down). Installing it vertically will yield a smaller wireless reception range.
3.3 NOTABLE PRODUCT FEATURES
1. Soul Bar can receive audio from any Bluetooth device and play the audio to its internal speak-
ers. This is called Bluetooth receive mode.
2. Soul Bar can receive audio from any Bluetooth device, play the audio to its internal speakers,
and re-broadcast the audio stream to up to four other SKAA receivers. This is called Bluetooth
relay mode.
3. Soul Bar can receive audio from any SKAA transmitter and play the audio to its internal
speakers. This is called SKAA receive mode.
4. Soul Bar remembers your favorite Bluetooth devices. The Bluetooth paired list holds up to
eight devices which have successfully paired with Soul Bar. Note that if you pair a ninth de-
vice, it will replace the device on the list which has least recently connected.
5. Soul Bar remembers your favorite SKAA transmitters. The SKAA green list holds up to ten
favorite transmitters.
6. Soul Bar automatically enters a low-power state when not in use. It wakes from its low
power state when a SKAA transmitter connects, a Bluetooth device connects, or a button is
pressed on the front panel.

3.5 MOUNTING TO A WALL
3.5.1 INSTALLING THE BRACKETS
Soul Bar includes two (2) wall mounting brackets and four (4) screws per bracket. For
safety reasons, mount the Soul Bar at a maximum height of 2 m (6 ft) above the floor. Re-
member to account for the length of the power cord when choosing a mounting location
on the wall.
Install the brackets to the wall. Locate a stud (structural framing member) in the wall
and position the brackets so that at least 2 screws install into the stud. This will ensure a
safe and secure wall mounting. If you cannot position Soul Bar near a stud, use drywall
anchors rated for 10 kg (22 lbs) or greater. For safety reasons, make sure to install all four
screws in each bracket.
3.5.2 INSTALLING SOUL BAR
First make sure the AC power cord is disconnected from the wall outlet. Install the AC
power cord into Soul Bar. Position Soul Bar over the brackets that are installed on the wall
and gently lower Soul Bar onto the brackets.
3.6 AC POWER INPUT
Soul Bar will operate between 100-240 AC line voltage with a line frequency of either 50 Hz or 60
Hz. There is no need to convert or adjust the unit in any way.
Note: If you are going to be away from home for an extended period such as a month-long
vacation, it is a sensible precaution to unplug it (as well as other audio and video components)
while you are away.
