Installation
The MONOLOG slim only needs a power connection for operation. Simply plug the supplied power cable into the speaker
and connect the other end to the power outlet. The integrated components start automatically and are ready for use after
approx. 30 seconds. The different audio sources are automatically recognized or played simultaneously. Switching the
inputs is therefore not necessary. The stainless steel front cover can be easily attached or removed with the magnetic
xation.
Connecting external audio sources
The MONOLOG slim has digital inputs on the back of the speaker. External devices (such as TV, AV receivers, etc.) can
be connected using a digital optical cable (TOSLINK cable) to ensure maximum sound quality.
Switching the inputs
Switching the inputs is not necessary with the MONOLOG slim. All input signals are played automatically. You can,
for example, listen to TV sound while streaming music from your smartphone at the same time. Be careful not to
accidentally play multiple sources at the same time.

5. You can choose a custom name for your MONOLOG to recognice the device easier in the future
6. Choose your home network name and enter the correct password of the network
7. The AirLino®-App will now try to connect your MONOLOG to the home network
Note: If the device is not ready after 60 seconds there might occured an error. Please check if you entered the
correct network password and try the setup again. In some cases it is useful to unplug your MONOLOG and try all
steps again after at least 10 seconds.
8. If the setup was successfully, your MONOLOG is visible in the network. You can now see your MONOLOG in your
audio streaming device.
9. Enjoy the music through your MONOLOG slim
Note: Please make sure that the WiFi connection and the signal are stable and strong enough to manage high quality
audio signals in your home network. Low quality WiFi routers might cause problems. Please contact a wireless network
specialist if problems occur.
Streaming - wireless music playback
With MONOLOG slim you can stream music from a variety of sources wirelessly. For this you need a wireless connection
from your audio source (smartphone, tablet, etc.) to the MONOLOG slim. The built-in Bluetooth, AirPlay® and DLNA
audio-receiving components start automatically and are ready after a short while. Then connect to your smartphone,
laptop, iPod touch, or similar device as follows:
Establish Bluetooth connection
1. Activate Bluetooth in the settings of your audio source (e.g. smartphone, tablet)
2. Search for “MONOLOG slim“
3. Connect with “MONOLOG slim“ like any other Bluetooth device
4. Make sure (in the settings of your audio source) that the audio signal is played via your Bluetooth connection
5. Enjoy the music through your MONOLOG slim
Note: When Bluetooth is activated once again, the device will automatically connect to the MONOLOG slim as soon as
the sound system is within range.
Note: Not every device supports Blutooth apt-X. Therefore, the sound quality might differ.

User Manual
Pairing the remote control
At factory settings, the remote control is not paired with the MONOLOG slim. If you have several remote controls of the
same type, pairing is useful to avoid conicts.
1. Use a pen or a straightened paper clip to press the pairing button on the back of the MONOLOG slim
2. The device is now in pairing mode for 30 seconds
3. Now press any key on the desired remote control (e.g. the “Mute“-key)
4. The device is now paired with this remote control and accepts only commands from this remote control
Note: If the MONOLOG slim does not receive any command from a remote control during the 30 seconds it is in pairing
mode, the pairing is canceled and the MONOLOG slim accepts commands from any remote control of the same type.
Wake-up function
In case of inactivity, the MONOLOG slim automatically activates the standby mode after a while to avoid unnecessary
power consumption. The automatic wake-up functionality automatically reactivates the MONOLOG slim when there
is an incoming audio signal via Bluetooth, AirPlay® or DLNA. Accordingly, the loudspeakers can remain permanently
connected to the power connection without affecting the energy consumption or the lifetime of the product.
Sound optimization
The mono concept of the MONOLOG slim is optimized for uniform room acoustics. This means that the entire sound
is reproduced at every position in the room. This avoids the undesirable side effects of a stereo system, where more
information can be heard from the left channel at one position in the room than from the right (and vice versa).
In order to achieve an optimal sound experience, it is advisable to observe the following points:
- Place your MONOLOG slim on the wall or near a wall. Avoid placing the device in the middle of the room, as certain
frequencies are not sufciently reproduced by the missing wall surface.
- Your MONOLOG slim offers a unique, lossless music reproduction. It is therefore advisable to play high-resolution
music les or uncompressed formats (such as WAV or Apple Lossless).
- Make sure your room has adequate acoustic damping. Too much reverb negatively affects the music signal.
Curtains, upholstered furniture or carpets can support good room acoustics and contribute to a pleasant damping.
- If possible, use the digital audio input of the MONOLOG slim when connecting a third party device. The digital input
provides a better sound quality than analog inputs.
Note: There are no rules that apply to all environments. Nevertheless, it is advisable to consider the above points.

User Manual
Saftey instructions
Please observe the safety instructions when using the MONOLOG slim, otherwise warranty claims may
expire.
- Do not expose to rain or moisture. There is a risk of re and the risk of damage.
- Do not use near liquids (bathtub, etc.).
- Do not place burning objects (candles, etc.) next to or on the speaker.
- Do not place near heat sources.
- Use only with original manufacturer accessories.
- Do not connect the speaker during thunderstorms.
Hearing damage
The MONOLOG slim can reach a sound pressure level higher than 90dB (SPL), which could cause hearing loss. To avoid
hearing damage, you should therefore only use the MONOLOG slim for a short time at high volume. As a precaution, set
an appropriate volume. The higher the volume, the faster it can cause hearing damage.
Repair
The MONOLOG slim must not be unscrewed or disassembled. Unauthorized opening of the housing is
a risk of electrical shock. All necessary repairs are to be carried out exclusively by a service partner or
manufacturer, otherwise the guarantee and warranty claim expires.
Maintenance
The MONOLOG slim is maintenance-free. Clean the surface only with a soft dry to slightly moist cloth or a feather duster.
Do not use scouring powder, alcohol, gasoline, polish, wax or other similar liquids. Do not set up the MONOLOG slim in a
humid environment. Frequent temperature changes, humidity and excessive sunlight will damage the speaker and may
alter its appearance. If the speaker is destroyed by improper use, contact the manufacturer and nd out about repair
options. The speaker membrane should not be touched.
Warranty
The warranty for this product complies with the legal requirements at the time of purchase. In addition, LOG Audio offers
a warranty of 3 years from the date of purchase. Changes to the device will void the warranty and the manufacturer‘s
warranty.
Disposal
Never dispose of the MONOLOG slim with normal household waste. It is strongly recommended to take
the product to an ofcial waste collection point. Be aware of local regulations for separate collection of
electrical and electronic equipment and follow it diligently. Proper disposal of old products helps to prevent
negative environmental and health effects.

Simultaneous playback of multiple
audio signals
Unintentional playback of multiple
signals
Stop playing one or more unwanted sources (analog
input, digital input, Bluetooth, AirPlay® or DLNA).
Recurring short failures of audio
playback
Bad connection to audio source via
Bluetooth
Make sure that the audio source is close to the
MONOLOG slim and that there are no other interfering
signals. Otherwise, reduce the distance between the
audio source and the speaker, or restart your MONO-
LOG slim and your Bluetooth source.
Bad WiFi connection between audio
source and MONOLOG slim
Reduce the distance from your audio source to your
MONOLOG. Make sure that there are no other inter-
ference signals. Otherwise restart your MONOLOG
slim and your AirPlay® or DLNA source. Contact a
wireless network specialist if the problem persists.
Bad WiFi connection between
MONOLOG slim and home network
In many cases, the home network is not strong
enough to incorporate audio devices (like the
MONOLOG slim in this case). Reduce the distance
between MONOLOG slim and your wireless router. If
possible, connect the MONOLOG slim and the router
via LAN cable. Also a restart of the devices can solve
the problem. Contact a wireless network specialist if
the problem persists.
Bad WiFi connection between audio
source and home network
Reduce the distance between the audio source and
your wireless router.
Note:
Wireless connections - whether Bluetooth or WiFi - are inherently more susceptible to interference than cable connections.
It is therefore possible that disruptive factors (other WiFi networks, structural shielding, concrete walls, etc.) in your
environment have a negative effect on the connection quality and lead to failures in the music playback - regardless of your
MONOLOG slim. In such a case, please contact a WiFi or network specialist.
