Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the product.
- Any mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
- Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
- Ventilation. Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
- Power sources. This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. The primary method of isolating the amplifier from the mains supply is to disconnect the mains plug. Ensure that the mains plug remains accessible at all times. Unplug the ac power cord from the ac outlet if the unit will not be used for several months or more. The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
- Grounding or polarization. This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
- Power cord protection. Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exitfrom the product.
- Outdoor antenna grounding. If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the national electrical code, ansi/nfpa 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Overview
Placement
Place the OD-11 on the floor with the grill facing upwards and the LED facing towards the center of the room, as close to a wall as possible but not directly in a corner. When placing a pair of OD-11s, the distance between them should be about 80% of the listening distance. Alternatively, when placing the OD-11 in a shelf, it should be placed on its side with the back side close to the wall. The LED should always be towards the center of the room, facing upwards if positioned below the listening point and downwards if close to the ceiling.
- To ensure your own safety and to prevent possible damage to your OD-11
- Please turn off the power to all units before connecting your OD-11 to other devices.
- This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to the speaker or other devices.
- Even thought OD-11 has very low power consumption, we recommend you to unplug it if you are not going to use it for a long period of time.
- Please don’t place any liquid container on top of your OD-11. For example your coffee or water cup.
- In addition, do not expose your OD-11 to rain or moisture.
- Clean only with dry cloth. When placing OD-11 on a shelf, make sure it’s securely settled and the shelf surface is horizontal to prevent it from falling off.
- To protect your hearing, please be careful when turning up the volume to full.
- Do not listen too close to the speaker or for an extented period of time with high volume.

FAQS
Wireless speakers are a great way to listen to music without the mess of wires. They’re also convenient if you want to listen to music in different rooms of your home. Here are some of our favorites.
The difference between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi speakers is that Bluetooth speakers tend to be better for smaller spaces and are very portable. Wi-Fi speakers have better range, sound quality, and are less likely to have their signal interrupted, but usually need to be connected to power at all times
A WiFi speaker connects wirelessly via your home network with your smartphone or tablet. This allows you to easily exit the room with your smartphone without stopping the music. You simply connect multiple speakers in different rooms to each other via WiFi and an app on your smartphone
Electronic devices can have both Bluetooth and wi-fi capabilities because they serve different purposes. It’s simple to connect them, and the result is that a Bluetooth-enabled device can access a wi-fi network without any interference between the two signals.
Yes. You can use Bluetooth without Wi-Fi. In fact, Bluetooth does not need any internet access at all to be set up and used
Regular bluetooth speakers just connect to your phone or computer to play audio, and don’t do much else. The biggest difference is that smart speakers have built-in internet assistants like Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant.
While you will need internet access to stream content, the communication between devices that utilize your Wi-Fi network will still continue. This is how the Sonos speakers work. It’s certainly not anything new; in fact, many smart devices use this method to connect to each other without the need for a smart bridge.
This allows you to easily exit the room with your smartphone without stopping the music. You simply connect multiple speakers in different rooms to each other via WiFi and an app on your smartphone. This way you can easily create a multiroom sound setup in your home
When choosing what kind of speakers to use, there is one thing that matters above all else: sound quality. Almost across the board, Wi-Fi speakers have better sound quality than Bluetooth speakers. Bluetooth compresses the data more than Wi-Fi speakers.
Bluetooth allows for short-range data transfer between devices. As an example, it is commonly employed in headsets for mobile phones, enabling hands-free phone use. Wi-Fi, on the other hand, allows devices to connect to the Internet.
Bluetooth speakers connect at varying ranges. Most will reach distances of around 30 feet (9 meters) all the way up to 100 feet (30 meters), depending on the size and style you choose.
A transmitter connected to the stereo system converts electrical signals to radio waves by sending alternating current through an antenna. The radio waves broadcast out from the antenna. An antenna and receiver on the wireless speaker detect the radio signal, and the receiver converts it into an electrical signal
Yes, most wireless speakers use AC adaptors and plug into an ordinary power outlet or power strip. Some systems use rechargeable batteries to become ‘fully wireless’ but this feature requires charging and repositioning as regular chores in order to use this kind of surround sound system
Wifi works via the Internet. When it comes to streaming music, it is the connection that you set up between a storage device (for example, your phone) via a network to a receiver. So your phone sends your music to the network, and the network sends it to your speakers.
Can you use Bluetooth without Wi-Fi? Yes. You can use Bluetooth without Wi-Fi. In fact, Bluetooth does not need any internet access at all to be set up and used.
