STANMORE: THE BACKSTORY
SOME PEOPLE JUST HAVE IT. YOU KNOW, THAT KIND OF RAW MUSICAL
TALENT THAT MOST OF US CAN ONLY DREAM OF. JIM MARSHALL WAS ONE
OF THOSE PEOPLE. HIS MUSICAL TALENT WAS INNATE, AND HIS FATE AS
THE ‘FATHER OF LOUD’ WAS NOT TO BE HINDERED, EVEN IN THE FACE OF
A CHILDHOOD DISEASE.
AT THE AGE OF FIVE, JIM MARSHALL WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A RARE
CONDITION CALLED TUBERCULAR BONES. HE SPENT MOST OF HIS
CHILDHOOD IN A PLASTER CAST AT THE ROYAL NATIONAL ORTHOPAEDIC
HOSPITAL IN STANMORE, LONDON. FOR SEVEN YEARS, JIM LIVED IN THIS
CAST, FROM HIS ARMPITS DOWNWARDS, ONLY TO EXPERIENCE BRIEF
MINUTES OF FREEDOM WHEN THE CAST NEEDED TO BE RESIZED TO
ACCOMMODATE HIS GROWING LIMBS.
LIBERATION CAME AT THE AGE OF TWELVE WHEN JIM WAS FINALLY CUT
FREE FROM THE CAST. HE WAS ENCOURAGED TO TAKE UP TAP DANCING
AS A WAY TO STRENGTHEN HIS FRAGILE BONES. HE DISCOVERED HIS
NATURAL SENSE OF RYTHYM, WHICH EVENTUALLY PAVED THE WAY FOR
HIS CAREER IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. HE STARTED OUT SINGING, AND AS
CHANCE WOULD HAVE IT, HE TOOK UP DRUMMING WHEN THERE WAS A
GAP TO FILL ONE NIGHT DURING A GIG. HIS INTEREST IN DRUMMING GREW
DEEPER, AND HE SIGNED UP FOR LESSONS TO IMPROVE HIS SKILLS.
AFTER REACHING THE TOP OF HIS DRUMMING GAME, JIM BEGAN TO TEACH
OTHERS. HE OPENED UP A SMALL DRUM SHOP, WHERE DRUMMERS SUCH
AS MITCH MITCHELL FROM THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE WOULD COME
IN WITH THE REST OF THEIR BANDS, INCLUDING A BUNCH OF THEN-LOCAL
GUITARISTS WHO WERE ABOUT TO CHANGE THE SOUND OF ROCK’N’ROLL
FOREVER. THOSE GUITARISTS INCLUDED RITCHIE BLACKMORE, BIG JIM
SULLIVAN AND PETE TOWNSHEND, WHO ASKED JIM TO DESIGN THEM AN
AMP THAT WAS LOUD ENOUGH TO CUT THROUGH ALL THE DRUMMING. IN
A FEW TWISTS OF ELECTRICAL FATE, THE FIRST MARSHALL AMP WAS
BORN. THAT AMP GAVE GUITARISTS A SOUND THAT WAS UNLIKE ANYTHING
THEY’D EVER HEARD BEFORE.
THE REST, AS YOU KNOW, IS HISTORY.

LOCATING YOUR DEVICES VIA BLUETOOTH
SELECT BLUETOOTH AS THE INPUT SOURCE BY PRESSING SOURCE/WAKE
ON THE SPEAKER. BLUETOOTH IS NOW ACTIVATED, WITH A FLASHING
RED LIGHT IF NO DEVICE IS CONNECTED, AND A SOLID RED LIGHT IF
A DEVICE IS CONNECTED. STANMORE SPEAKER WILL NOW AUTOMATI-
CALLY SEARCH FOR PAIRED DEVICES FOR 3 MINUTES, AND THE LED WILL
RAPIDLY FLASH RED DURING THE SEARCH. THE STANMORE SPEAKER WILL
LOCATE DEVICES WITHIN RANGE THAT HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN CON-
NECTED AND WILL CONNECT THEM AUTOMATICALLY. IF NO DEVICES ARE
LOCATED WITHIN THREE MINUTES, THE STANMORE SPEAKER WILL REVERT
TO STANDBY STATUS (EITHER POWERSAVER MODE OR STANDARD MODE,
DEPENDING ON WHICH OPTION YOU CHOOSE. THERE IS MORE INFORMA-
TION ON MODES IN THE STANDBY MODES SECTION ON PAGE 024.). IF THE
PAIR BUTTON IS PRESSED WHILE BLUETOOTH IS SELECTED AS THE AUDIO
SOURCE, THE STANMORE LOUDSPEAKER WILL PERFORM A NEW SEARCH
FOR THREE MINUTES AFTERWARDS, DURING WHICH TIME, THE LED LIGHT
WILL RAPIDLY FLASH RED.
NOTES:
• THE AUTO CONNECTION FUNCTION WILL NOT WORK IF THE STANMORE LOUD-
SPEAKER IS TURNED OFF VIA THE MAIN POWER SWITCH AT THE TOP OF THE UNIT.
• IF A SEVENTH DEVICE IS CONNECTED, DEVICE A WILL NO LONGER BE MEMORISED.
• ALWAYS START BLUETOOTH IN YOUR SMARTPHONE/COMPUTER FIRST, AND THEN
START STANMORE LOUDSPEAKER TO RECEIVE AN AUTO CONNECTION.

BLUETOOTH AUTO CONNECTION
IF A DEVICE IS MOVED OUTSIDE THE RANGE OF STANMORE SPEAKER
(APPROXIMATELY 10 METRES WITHOUT OBSTACLES), THAT DEVICE IS
DISCONNECTED. THE DEVICE IS AUTOMATICALLY CONNECTED AGAIN WHEN
IT IS MOVED BACK WITHIN RANGE. THE STANMORE SPEAKER CAN MEMO-
RISE UP TO SIX DEVICES AND ALWAYS STARTS SEARCHING FOR THE LAST
DEVICE THAT HAS BEEN CONNECTED. IF THE STANMORE SPEAKER HAS
BEEN CONNECTED TO DEVICES A–B–C–D–E–F IN THAT ORDER, DEVICE F IS
GIVEN FIRST PRIORITY, WHILE DEVICE A IS GIVEN LAST PRIORITY. EVERY
TIME THE STANMORE STARTS UP, IT WILL PERFORM AN AUTO CONNEC-
TION OF DEVICES WITHIN ITS RANGE.

CONNECTING SOURCES BY CABLE
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF WAYS TO CONNECT TO YOUR STANMORE THE
OLD FASHIONED WAY, USING A CABLE. USE ONE OF THE THREE AUDIO
INPUTS AVAILABLE: INPUT 1 - 3.5MM STEREO PLUG, INPUT 2 - RCA
ANALOGUE INPUT OR THE OPTICAL AUDIO DIGITAL INPUT.
• INPUT 1 - 3.5MM STEREO PLUG
USE THE DOUBLE-ENDED COIL CORD WITH 3.5MM PLUGS TO
CONNECT TO AUDIO SOURCES THAT HAVE AUDIO OUTPUT SUCH AS
A MOBILE TELEPHONE, IPHONE/IPAD/IPOD, MP3 PLAYER, OR
AIRPORT EXPRESS.
• INPUT 2 - RCA ANALOGUE INPUT
USE THE RCA ANALOGUE INPUT TO CONNECT TO YOUR CD PLAYER,
TURNTABLE (WITH RIAA) OR SONOS UNIT.
• OPTICAL AUDIO DIGITAL INPUT
USE THE OPTICAL INPUT TO CONNECT TO YOUR TV, APPLE TV,
AIRPORT EXPRESS, HARD DISK PLAYER, STREAMING PLAY, AND
SATELLITE OR CABLE RECEIVER. OPTICAL INPUT WORKS WITH PCM
STEREO ONLY. IF A CONNECTED DEVICE SENDS 5.1 AUDIO (OR
SIMILAR SURROUND SOUND), THE STANMORE WILL NOT FUNCTION.
SET THE AUDIO OUT TO STEREO ONLY ON YOUR TV, EVEN IF THE
SHOW IS BROADCASTED IN 5.1 AUDIO.
