Introducing your VQ Retro Mk II
VQ Retro Mk II Operation Guide
Welcome to your new Retro Mk II. VQ is a unique British
brand inspired by the fusion of Sound & Style. At VQ we
believe that colour and design is an important part of who
we are, so why should the technology we buy only be Black
or Silver and lacking individuality of design?
Our goal for Retro Mk II is to create a feature product
that not only sounds exceptional but looks fantastic too.
Wrapped in quality leather with a stylish yet strong carry
handle, the Retro Mk II has a retro feel and style, but is
anything but retro in its capabilities. Featuring DAB / DAB+,
FM radio, iPod/iPhone dock and auxiliary input the Retro
Mk II can cater for all your audio needs and look great at the
same time.
What can my Retro Mk II do apart from look fab?
Here’s a brief run-down of your Retro Mk II’s capabilities.
IPod/IPhone dock
Fancy playing your own tunes? You can play your IPhone or IPod through an Apple Lightning Dock and have
it charge at the same time.
Bluetooth streaming
If your phone, tablet or any Bluetooth device is capable of storing audio les, you can use Bluetooth to
stream any music stored in your Bluetooth devices to Retro Mk II.
DAB/DAB+ receiver
Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) is the next big thing in radio. Clarity, station choice and ease of tuning are
often cited as benets. There are two versions, DAB and DAB+. Your Retro Mk II works with either. You can
store up to 30 DAB/DAB+ stations as presets.
FM Radio
DAB isn’t everywhere, so there’s an FM radio in your Retro Mk II that means you can listen wherever DAB
or FM radio is available. You can store up to 30 FM stations as presets.
Auxiliary connection
Lets you plug in and listen to an external audio source so your older devices aren’t left out.
Dual Alarms
Wake up to your favourite radio station, favourite tracks, or two different beep tones.
USB Charging
During DAB/FM/Aux-In playback, Retro Mk II provides an USB outlet with 5V/1A charging to your other
devices.
