Before a Bluetooth device can stream audio to a Musaic Player it must
be paired with it as follows.
1. Ensure the Musaic Player is turned on.
2. Turn on Bluetooth, press and hold the Bluetooth button on the
top of the unit for two seconds. The LED will start to flash when
Bluetooth is pairable/connectable and lights continuously when a
connection to a device is made.
Open the Bluetooth settings menu on your device. Make sure
Bluetooth is turned on and select ‘Pairing’ (or similar). Your device
should show a list of Bluetooth players it can find. One of these
should be your ‘Musaic MP5’ or ‘Musaic MP10’. Select your Player and
your mobile device should pair and connect to it, the Bluetooth LED
on the Musaic Player will stop flashing and stay on.
You will now be able to select the Musaic Player for playback from
your Bluetooth device (this may also happen automatically). When
already connected to a device you can re-enter pairable/connectable
mode for another device by again pressing and holding the Bluetooth
button for two seconds.
The Player remains in Bluetooth pairing/connectable mode for up to
60 seconds. If you have not connected within this time the Player will
turn Bluetooth back off.
Make sure that the Bluetooth on your mobile device is on and that
you have previously paired it. Press and hold the top panel Bluetooth
button for two seconds to enable Bluetooth audio. For already paired
devices the Musaic Player will always try to re-connect automatically.
The LED will flash then go on when connected to a device.
If you have more than one paired Bluetooth device nearby and the
Musaic Player automatically connects to the ‘wrong’ one, press and
hold the Bluetooth button again for two seconds (without turning
Bluetooth off). This will drop the current Bluetooth connection and
allow connection by any paired Bluetooth device.
Once connected your device should automatically direct its audio to
the Musaic Player. If not the option to stream over Bluetooth should
be available. Select the appropriate Musaic Player and Bluetooth
playback should begin. The standard range for Bluetooth streaming
is about 10m/30ft ‘line-of-sight’ from the device to the Player.
Use both the volume controls on your Bluetooth device and the
Player to control the level. The Play/Pause, Skip Back and Skip Forward
controls both on your device and on the Player will control playback.
To stop playback and turn off Bluetooth, tap the Bluetooth / Stop
button on the top of the Musaic Player.
The Musaic Players support the standard Bluetooth CODEC (CODer
DECoder; the method of sending audio from a mobile device to
player) called SBC. They also support the higher quality AAC and MP3
and the very latest CD quality aptX CODEC for the best possible sound
quality and will automatically use the best available one that your
Bluetooth device supports.
Note: The Player can remember the pairing information for up to
six different Bluetooth devices at any one time. Pairing a seventh
one will make the unit forget the first one and so on.
The Auxiliary input allows connection of the analog line or headphone
output of MP3 players, CD players, set-top boxes or TVs etc.
To play from a local audio source simply connect the audio source to
the Auxiliary input on the rear panel (3.5mm stereo mini-jack) using a
suitable cable.
When the Musaic Player is not streaming audio (from Bluetooth, the
Network, Streaming Services or Internet radio) it automatically selects
the Auxiliary input for playback (if there is something plugged in).
The top panel and in-app volume controls and mute can be used to
adjust the Auxiliary input volume in the normal way.
