Location and usage guidelines
You can use your speaker just about anywhere. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
When the microphone is on, Roam tunes itself with automatic Trueplay™ for amazing sound
no matter where you are and what you’re listening to.
You can place Roam next to a wall or on a shelf—for best performance, leave at least 1"
(2.5 cm) space around the back of the speaker.
Roam’s durable design includes silicone end caps to protect the speaker if it’s dropped or
bumped.
For optimal performance, avoid placing Roam in direct sunlight.
Roam can be placed horizontally or vertically. When vertical, Roam takes up barely any room.
Position it horizontally for added stability on uneven surfaces.
Waterproof design
Roam has an IP67 rating—it’s dustproof and waterproof and can be submerged 1 meter for up to 30
minutes. If Roam gets saturated with water, you can dry it off this way:
1. Flush Roam with tap water, then give it a quick shake.
2. Place the speaker vertically for a few seconds until it drains, then place it face down (logo side
down) on a dry towel for a few minutes.
3. Start playing some audio to assist with drainage.
Note: Don’t play audio when Roam is immersed in water.
Automatic Trueplay™
Auto Trueplay tuning optimizes the sound for wherever you are and whatever you’re listening to. Your
speaker’s microphone is used to detect the environment so auto Trueplay can make periodic tuning
adjustments to deliver the best sound.
Microphone on/off
The microphone is used for voice control, and for automatic Trueplay tuning. Press to turn the
microphone on or off—the microphone LED light will let you know when your voice assistant is
listening.
When the microphone light is on,
If you have a voice assistant, voice control is on and your voice assistant is ready to
respond.
Auto Trueplay tuning is enabled so Roam can automatically adjust its sound for your
surroundings.
When the microphone light is off,
If you have a voice assistant, voice control is off—your voice assistant is not listening.
Automatic Trueplay tuning is disabled.
