2.4. Setting up your speakers
The powered speaker system is designed for either bookshelf or stands mounting.
The stands should be of rigid construction, between 45 cm to 69 cm high and
preferably have spikes.
The space between the two speakers and the distance from the listener is important.
If the speakers are positioned too close or too far apart, stereo imaging will not be
fully developed. Speakers are designed to perform optimally positioned at least 20
cm from the rear wall in an average listening room. However, it may not be possible
to install the speakers in this position and since rooms vary in shape, size, and
furnishing, a certain amount of experimentation is necessary to determine the most
suitable position.
Moving the speakers very close to the rear wall will enhance the bass frequencies
but will tend to reduce soundstage depth, while moving the speakers away from the
rear wall will tend to have the opposite effect. Avoid positioning the speakers close to
or in the corners of the room, as this will excite undesirable room coupling in the low
and middle frequencies.
If the width of the rear wall is limited, then toe-in the speakers slightly to reduce
reflections. Room characteristics and positioning have a profound effect on the
performance of the speakers, so time and effort devoted to achieving the optimum
positions will be rewarded.
Ensure that the ON/OFF Switch is in the OFF position. Connect the two speakers
together as shown below using the supplied speaker cable. Connect the RED (+)
and BLACK (−) terminals from the active speaker (left channel) to the corresponding
terminals on the passive speaker (right channel).

If you wish to place your speakers further apart than the supplied cable will reach,
we recommend that you purchase a heavier gauge of speaker cable to minimize
signal loss.
Follow the instructions on the ensuing pages to connect your audio sources to
speakers. The examples in the following pages are not meant to be exhaustive - just
examples. Connect the power cord from active speaker to the wall outlet.
2.5. Volume/Input Select Knob
The volume knob on the active speaker functions as an input select knob as well.
Push the knob to select an input source, it cycles through the following inputs
depending on what input source was last used. RCA, LINE-IN, OPT and
BLUETOOTH.
Press and hold volume knob for few seconds to switch Plus system ON of OFF.
Note: The Plus speakers feature an auto standby function as this saves power
consumption. Auto Wake-Up Off: power consumption < 0.5 W Auto Wake-Up On:
power consumption < 3 W

3. Connecting Audio Sources
TIBO Plus speakers feature a high-quality DAC (digital-to-analogue converter) that
supports data streams up to 24-bit/48 kHz resolution.
TIBO Plus speakers support Bluetooth technology.
Use the appropriate audio cable to connect your audio source components to your
speakers. Refer to the following diagrams on connectivity options.
3.1. Analogue Inputs / Digital Inputs
The Plus speakers have two options for analogue audio connections.
1. Digital Optical Input - TOSLINK® connector for connection to the digital optical
output on a TV or other source.
2. 3.5 mm Stereo mini jack - The 3.5mm input jack is ideal for connecting to the
headphone output of an external audio source such as a Phone or Tablet.
3. RCA - Connect the RCA L&R audio output from a Turntable, Amplifier or other
source to the RCA sockets.

3.2. Connecting a Subwoofer
Plus speakers are equipped with an RCA connector to provide output signal to a
powered subwoofer. Simply connect a single RCA subwoofer cable from the SUB
OUT connection on the Speakers to the AUDIO INPUT on your subwoofer. If your
subwoofer has a stereo L/R RCA input, either left or right inputs will work.

4. Bluetooth mode
•With your Bluetooth device and the TIBO Plus speakers system both turned
ON, press the Mode button on the Plus speakers or the remote controlto make
the Plus speakers system enter Bluetooth mode. The speakers will reply
saying “Bluetooth mode”.
•The blue light will flash on the Plus speakers to show that Bluetooth mode is
active, and the speakers are discoverable.
•Set your Bluetooth device to discoverable so it can discover (refer to your
Bluetooth device guide for details) TIBO Plus speakers system. Locate the
Bluetooth device list in the user interface of your device.
•From the Bluetooth device list, select the device named “TIBO Plus 2.1 or Plus
3.1” (depending on which model you have).
•If your Bluetooth device prompts you for an access code, enter digits 0000
(four zeros) and press OK. Some devices also ask you to accept the
connection. Your Bluetooth device indicates when pairing is complete.
•The Plus speaker system indicates pairing is complete with welcome jingle.

5. Line In mode
•Whilst the Kameleon 4 / 6 is turned off, connect a 3.5mm jack cable to the
‘Line in’ port at the rear of the speaker and the other end of the cable to your
Android/iOS device. This is to avoid speaker pop when the speaker is turned
on.
•Hold the power/mode button to turn on. If performed correctly, speaker will
respond by saying “Power on.” The speaker will then tell you what mode is
currently activated. E.g. Wi-Fi mode.
•Short press the mode button until the speaker responds saying “Line In mode.”
The mode light will also turn green.
•You can now play music to the Kameleon speaker via your source, Spotify
etc.
