Charging an External Device
USB Power Jack
The USB power jack can be used to charge most devices that allow

and wireless headsets). Note: Please use the USB power cord that
came with your device to connect to Sound Stack to charge.
Soundfreaq Remote App
We offer the Soundfreaq Remote App for iOS and Android devices.
When Sound Stack is connected with Bluetooth, the app can be
used as a remote control and to interface with the FM radio tuner.
For your convenience, after pairing an iOS device with Sound Stack
you will be prompted to download the free Soundfreaq Remote App
in the App Store.
The Soundfreaq Remote App for Android is available for free in
Android Market and on our website at
www.soundfreaq.com/android.
Optimizing Sound Quality
UQ~ TM is a proprietary technology that enhances stereo
separation. To turn UQ3 on/off press the uGm button on the Sound
Stack unit or remote control.
Tip: To achieve optimal acoustic performance of Sound Stack's
hi-fidelity speakers, we recommend playing your Sound Stack for four
(4) continuous hours upon initial usage to condition the drivers.
Tip: Sound Stack has been tuned to a balanced acoustic profile. You
can use the EQ settings on your playback device to customize the EQ
balance to suit your personal preference. Note: Some custom EQ
settings when combined with UQ3 enhancement may cause distortion.
Tip: For playback in Bluetooth or Aux mode, the output volume is set
by both the volume control on Sound Stack and the source device.
Both may be adjusted to set your preferred listening volume. Typically,
sound quality is best when the volume of the source device is between
70-90o/o. Note: As with any speaker system, if the volume on both
your source device and the speaker are at maximum output, it is
possible to overdrive the speakers and cause distortion. When using
an iOS device or other device that offers a "volume limit" feature,
turn this setting off for higher volume listening in Bluetooth or Aux
mode.
Tip: Sound Stack is capable of reproducing a broad range of sound
frequencies. Using lossless or high quality digital music files with low
compression will improve acoustic performance. Note: Sound Stack is
compatible with lossless transfer of AAC files offered on iOS devices.
With Bluetooth playback on an iOS device (iPod touch, iPhone or iPad)
there is no degradation of the quality of the music file.
For safety, care and additional operating instructions please download
