This makes playing back music extremely easy and you can also take advantage of Amazon Alexa multiroom audio with multiple speakers in different rooms.

CONNECT YOUR TV

There are two ways that you can connect your television to the Lithe Audio bluetooth ceiling speakers.

1. Via Bluetooth. The Lithe Audio has a Bluetooth 5.0 lossless chipset meaning you can connect to a TV wirelessly with Bluetooth and experience a significant boost in sound quality with no lag or lip sync issues.
   
   
2. There is also an analog RCA audio input on the rear of the speaker allowing you to cable the speaker to the headphone output of your TV. (please check your TV has this output first)

CUSTOMISED TO YOUR HOME

If you’ve ever connected to a portable bluetooth speaker then you’ll know that your device will see a Bluetooth name. The default on these is “Lithe Audio BT2”.

However if you plan to fit these in multiple rooms of your home then you’ll see the same name in your Bluetooth list multiple times.

Lithe Audio have already thought of this and created an easy to use free app for iOS/Android that allows you to rename the speaker to a custom name of your choice.

You can also add a secure PIN code if you want to restrict access to the speaker.

Q. How Do I Power The Lithe Audio Bluetooth Ceiling Speaker? 
A. The speaker comes with a laptop style inline power supply with a 230v fast-fix terminals. You can either install a fused spur above your ceiling, or wire into the permanent live of your lighting circuit (must be rated to 6A). The speaker comes with comprehensive installation instructions in the user manual and we recommend consulting an electrician for the installation.
 

Q. How Do I Set Up The Speakers? 
A. Once installed there is very minimal setup required! You can simply pair your smartphone, tablet or computer to the speaker by going into your devices standard Bluetooth settings and searching. You will see “Lithe Audio BT2” to connect to. Once connected, anything your device plays will sound through the ceiling speakers. There is also a companion app available on the app stores that allows you to change the Bluetooth name (ideal if you're having more than one speaker per house) as well as changing the PIN code. Don't forget that Bluetooth is point to point so it can only connect to one device at any one time.
 

Q. How Many Speakers Do I Need For My Room? 
A. We usually recommend one pair of speakers per 20-25sq. metres (so 5x5-6x6 metres). Larger rooms up to 10 metres would typically need four speakers. Smaller rooms under 4m x 4m such as bedrooms or studys can get away with a single speaker, however bear in mind that a single speaker plays in mono and a pair plays in stereo which signifcantly improves the sound quality.
 

Q. Do I Need A Separate Amplifier? 
A. No. This product is a complete plug & play system. The amplifier and Bluetooth receiver is built into the back of one of the speakers (referred to as the “master” speaker) and the second passive speaker (referred to as the “slave” speaker) wires into the master speaker with the included speaker cable.
 

Q. Can I Use This Speaker In The Bathroom? 
A. This is the standard version which is fit for living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, studies and other “dry" rooms. You can find the bathroom rated speaker here.
 

Q. Can I Use Amazon Alexa or Google Home For Voice Control? 
A. Yes, you can pair the Lithe Audio Bluetooth ceiling speakers to an Amazon Echo device or a Google Home device (sold separately) via Bluetooth. This will remain connected at all times and anything your Alexa/Home plays will come through the ceiling speakers. 
 

Q. Can I Paint The Grilles? 
A. All of our speakers come with white grilles as standard, however you can spray paint the grille any colour. You must use an aerosol spray paint, not emulsion.
 

Q. Can I Have Speakers In Multiple Rooms Of My House? 
A. Yes absolutely, you can fit speakers in multiple rooms including bedrooms and bathrooms. You can also use the free companion app to change the Bluetooth name of each speaker so you can easily see on your device which speakers you are connecting to. Please bear in mind though that with Bluetooth ceiling speakers they are a point to point technology so you can connect your phone to one room at a time and playback music. Someone else can use a different speaker at the same time from a different device, but you can't make multiple speakers play the same music from one device (this is however possible with the Lithe Audio WiFi versions).
 

Q. Which Speaker Is The Left & Right? 
A. When set to stereo in a master & pair setup the master speaker is the left channel and the passive slave speaker is the right channel.
