You can pair and connect two devices to a MRM at the same time.
To switch between them you need to stop the music on the device
playing, then start playing music on the second device.
CONNECT AUDIO CABLE (AUX MODE)
CONNECT TWO DEVICES TO SHARE MUSIC HIGH AND LOW GAIN SETTINGS
We recommend that you use LOW gain at normal listening
levels for the best sound quality
If your device does not have Bluetooth or you would like to use a wired connection instead, you can connect to the MRM using the
supplied AUX cable. Ensure your MRM is o and remove any audio cables before using cable mode.
PLUG IN A SUBWOOFER WHEN USING BLUETOOTH
The MRM has two gain (volume) settings – LOW and HIGH. In
Bluetooth mode it will always start in HIGH gain. In AUX mode it
will start in LOW or HIGH gain depending on which AUX socket
you plug in to.
HIGH GAIN LOW GAIN
In Bluetooth mode, the MRM will output audio from both AUX
sockets. This allows you to connect to another Minirig, Minirig
Subwoofer or Hi-Fi system.
• Plug one end of the AUX cable into the headphone socket on
your audio device.
• Plug the other end into one of the AUX sockets on the Minirig.
The MRM will turn on when you insert the cable displaying the
green LED There will be no tone. When you unplug the cable
the Minirig will turn o displaying the red LED there will be
no tone.
Please ensure the cable is pushed all the way in when turning on!
TO CHANGE GAIN AT ANY TIME:
• Check that the Minirig is ON and audio is playing
• Press the button once, do not hold it down
• In high gain the LED will be brighter than in low gain

change gain using the button as in Bluetooth mode.
You can turn the Minirig OFF and ON by pressing and holding the
button. However, it will stay in AUX mode until you remove all the
audio cables
In AUX mode, removing the audio cables will also turn the MRM
OFF. Again there will be no tone in AUX mode.
You must do this before you can use the MRM in Bluetooth mode.
In AUX mode you can use the spare audio socket to link out to
another Minirig product as shown. Connected in this way, all
speakers will play a mix of the left and right channels - mono.
You can connect as many speakers as you like. Always ensure all
speakers are set to either high or low gain.
Two MRMs can be configured to
play in stereo using two standard
3.5mm aux cables. Connect the first
MRM to your audio device, then link
out to the second MRM as shown.
To enable stereo mode, double
press the button on BOTH speakers.
They will now play LEFT and RIGHT
