KEY FEATURES
• The Calliope TV Sound Bar is designed to provide a high quality alternative to the
loudspeakers in your flat-panel TV. To this end it has HDMI inputs, optical digital, analogue,
and Bluetooth aptX inputs. The Bluetooth input allows you to stream music content direct
from your mobile, laptop or tablet wirelessly, straight to the Calliope . The Calliope TV
Sound Bar is designed to mount either on a desktop or on a wall with the supplied wall
mount fixings.
• The Calliope TV Sound Bar is suitable for use with any size of TV where its compact size
and styling should unobtrusively complement your TV and the room décor.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES IN THE CALLIOPE TV SOUND BAR
• Wider Sound Stage: The Calliope TV Sound Bar features an acoustic design utilising 2x 2.5
inch base drivers, 2x 2.5 inch broadband drivers and 2x passive membranes. It provides for
3x DSP presets of Movie, Music and Voice, each tailored to provide what we believe to be
the best possible performance in each programme category.
• The inputs available on the Calliope TV Sound Bar should accommodate all TVs currently
available, with 2x HDMI inputs and 1x HDMI output (with ARC), analogue (3.5mm stereo
input), optical (Stereo) input and Bluetooth aptX (for wireless connectivity).

• Determine how you want to set up your Calliope TV Sound Bar Soundbar.
• The Calliope TV Sound Bar Soundbar is supplied with wall fixings. The input jacks and
power cord are designed to allow a flush mount.
MOUNTING YOUR CALLIOPE SOUND BAR
• Measure the width of the TV - the Calliope TV Sound Bar should be mounted so it
is centered with the TV. Divide the TV width measurement by 2 - that will be the
centerline distance from the edges of the TV.
• If the Calliope TV Sound Bar is to be mounted below the TV, measure from the TV
edge to the centerline distance on the open wall below the TV. Mark an appropriate
distance below the bottom of the TV.
• Make a mark 230 mm on each side of the centerline. Make sure the mark is the same
distance down from the TV on each side.
• Drill a hole in the wall at either of the two marks.
• Hammer the 2 wall mount anchors into the holes - the anchors should be flush with
the wall.
• Now, using a Phillips screwdriver, screw the wall screws into the anchors.
• Tilting the bottom of the Calliope TV Sound Bar slightly away from the wall, guide the
exposed screw heads into the matching holes on the back of Calliope. The Calliope
TV Sound Bar is now securely wall mounted.
