Libratone speakers are based on a patent-pending audio technology. We call it FullRoom™
sound. Allow us to explain:
Regular speakers have closed cabinets. They push the sound waves in one direction - forward.
Libratone Live and Libratone Lounge, on the other hand, plays like an acoustic instrument,
dispersing sound waves in multiple directions giving you a 360° sound experience.
FullRoom technology means that you only need one sound source to get a room full of sound.
FULLROOM™ MUSIC AT HOME AIRPLAY
AirPlay is a technology designed by Apple to transmit audio and video instantly from source
to source within a Wi-Fi network. Once AirPlay is installed, you can stream from iTunes - both
on Mac and PC - or you can use your iOS devices: iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. This means that
you have your entire music and movie library in the palm of your hand, ready to be set free.
MUSIC ON THE GO
Libratone PlayDirect™ is AirPlay to go. It allows you to stream your music wirelessly in non-Wi-Fi
areas from PC/Mac or your iOS devices: iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. Libratone PlayDirect™
technology creates a direct network connection between your speaker and music device.

LOUNGE PLACEMENTLIVE PLACEMENT
Thanks to our FullRoom technology a speaker from Libratone could be placed just about anywhere.
Still, a piece of good advice won’t hurt:
To create the best sound conditions Libratone Lounge should be placed against a hard backdrop.
Whether you hang it on the wall, place it on a shelf or put it on the ground won’t change the sound.
If you want to use Libratone Lounge for TV-sound, we recommend you place the TV and speaker
together to get the best stereo eect and the optimal FullRomm conditions.
Thanks to our FullRoom technology a speaker from Libratone is very versatile when it comes
to placement. Still, we would like to give you our advice:
If you place Libratone Live against a hard backdrop with about 20cm/8 inches of air, the
sound will reflect o the wall. This gives you a deeper bass and an even fuller soundscape.
This in mind, we don’t recommend you place Libratone Live in a corner but it’s up to you.
To optimize and customize your Libratone sound experience we recommend you download
the Libratone app.

LIBRATONE APP
Add another dimension to your Libratone
speaker by downloading the free Libratone

FACTORY RESET
Logo Button
To clear all speaker settings on your Libratone speaker you need to perform a factory reset.
• Hold “Logo Button” while powering up the speaker.
• Release the “Logo Button” when it turns solid YELLOW.
• After 45 sec. of pulsing YELLOW the speaker will emit the WHITE setup sequence and enter
Setup Mode.
CONNECT AUX
You can connect the old fashioned way as well, by
using the 3,5 mini jack/digital mini plug. This is a
great way of upgrading the mediocre sound of your
TV. You can use both the analog and the digital
ports of your TV. We recommend you use the
analog connection (‘headphone out’), since this
enables you to use your TV remote control to adjust
the volume.
If you choose the digital connection, you need to
download our app to control the volume. On most
Apple products you can adjust the volume directly
on the product - also when you use the digital
connection.
Oh, by the way - in our world wireless always
trumps wires. This means that your wireless
streaming overrules the AUX connection.
So make sure nothing is streaming, when
you want to use AUX.
