Can I connect this to the speaker output of an amplifier?

When setting up your SRM speaker, it is very important that you DO NOT connect it to the output of an amplifier. The inputs of the SRM series are made for non-powered outputs such as the main or aux outputs from a mixer. The outputs of an amp will easily damage and potentially cause a fire in just about any powered speaker such as the SRM series.

How do I link two speakers together via Bluetooth?

First, go to the config menu on both speakers and choose the factory restore option to reset them. This will clear all previously paired devices and will reset the link settings.
 
Next, connect a phone, tablet or other bluetooth enabled device to ONLY ONE speaker. This is the most important part. If Bluetooth is paired to both the primary and secondary speaker, the link feature will malfunction.
 
Once the device is connected to the primary speaker via Bluetooth, attempt to link the two speakers together.
 
After the speakers are successfully linked together, make sure the “Auto Link” option is enabled in the BT Setting menu within the config menu on both speakers.

Is it normal for the speaker to "pop" when it is switched on or off?

It is normal for the SRM to emit a slight "pop" when it is powered up or down. The pop is caused by electricity left inside the amplifier circuitry discharging to the speaker.

Why does my speaker's Bluetooth disconnect unless I'm only a few feet away?

Amidst other physical factors, Bluetooth operates in a very narrow radio frequency band around 2.4GHz which has it competing with numerous other devices in the same range.

Check out our Bluetooth Optimization Guide for more info and best practices on dealing with these physical limitations.
