WELCOME! Thank you for choosing Vanatoo Transparent One powered speakers. We hope you’ll enjoy them for years to come. We’ve worked hard to design a bookshelf size speaker that delivers impressive bass, amazing sound clarity, and a rich set of features for today’s home audio environments. Now, all that’s between you and a great listening experience is the short time it takes to set up your speakers and plug in your favorite audio source.
Vanatoo Transparent One’s four audio input options provide the flexibility to connect to a wide variety of audio sources, both directly and through your home audio network. We’ve listed connectivity options for some typical devices below. For a more complete listing of compatible audio devices, visit www.vanatoo.com.

Setting Up Your System, continued Step 1: Connect the active speaker to the passive speaker Connect the two speakers together using the speaker wire provided. If you need a longer length than is shipped with the system, we recommend 12 to16 gauge speaker wire. ! The speaker terminals on the active speaker are OUTPUTS. DO NOT connect the output terminal of a stereo amplifier to these terminals. Doing so might damage the stereo amplifier and/or the active speaker itself. 1.
Step 3: Connect the active speaker to your audio device 1. Turn the volume control (10) on the speaker and audio device down to minimum. 2. Find the correct input connector for your audio device on the active speaker back panel (2, 3, 5, or 6). Connect the device using the appropriate cable and turn it on. 3. Turn the power switch to the ON position (12). The blue LED (11) will light up within 5 seconds to indicate power to the unit.
Connecting to an optional subwoofer Vanatoo Transparent One speakers are designed to provide excellent bass at louder than normal listening levels without the need for a subwoofer. However if you are playing very bass heavy music, adding a subwoofer will allow you to play even lower bass and achieve louder overall volume. When a subwoofer is connected, the active speaker automatically detects the connection and adds a digital crossover network between the Transparent One speakers and the subwoofer. 1.
