Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Display and Master Volume Knob

All controls are located on the rear panel of the speaker.

4. Bluetooth and TWS Button

The Bluetooth/TWS button is located on the rear panel and serves two functions:

• Activate Bluetooth: Press the button to put the speaker into Bluetooth pairing mode.
• Activate TWS (True Wireless Stereo): Press and hold the button to initiate a wireless link between two Titan15 V2 speakers.

To connect a Bluetooth device:

1. Press the Bluetooth button. The Bluetooth indicator light will begin flashing, indicating the speaker is searching for a device.
2. On your smartphone or tablet, open Bluetooth settings.
3. Search for and select the device named "Titan15 V2."
4. You will hear a confirmation sound when the connection is successful.
5. Use the Channel 2 volume knob on the speaker to control the Bluetooth audio level.

5. Input Channels

The Titan15 V2 has two input channels for connecting external audio sources.

Combo Jack Inputs:

• Each channel has a combo jack that accepts both XLR and 1/4-inch connections.
• Use these to connect microphones, keyboards, synthesizers, other speakers, or a mixer.

Mic/Line Switch:

• Set to Mic when connecting a microphone.
• Set to Line when connecting a line-level instrument, another speaker, or a mixer.

Aux Input (Channel 2 only):

• Use the 3.5mm aux input on Channel 2 to connect devices like smartphones or media players via an auxiliary cable.

6. Pre-DSP Mix Output

The speaker includes a pre-DSP mix output (XLR). Use this output to expand your setup by connecting:

• Additional speakers
• Subwoofers
• Amplifiers

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Q: I cannot access the DSP menu.

A: Make sure you are clicking (pressing inward) on the master volume knob rather than just turning it. A click will open the DSP menu on the display.

Q: My Bluetooth device cannot find the speaker.

A: Confirm that you pressed the Bluetooth button and that the indicator light is flashing. If the light is not flashing, the speaker is not in pairing mode.

Q: I connected a device to an input channel but there is no sound.

A: Check that the Mic/Line switch is set correctly for your source (Mic for microphones, Line for instruments or mixers). Also make sure the channel level knob and master volume are turned up.

Q: What is the difference between the Mic and Line settings?

A: Mic mode provides additional gain for low-output microphone signals. Line mode is designed for higher-level signals from instruments, mixers, or other audio equipment. Using the wrong setting can result in distortion (Mic with a line source) or very low volume (Line with a microphone).

Q: Can I use both input channels at the same time?

A: Yes. Both channels operate independently and can be used simultaneously with different sources.

Conclusion

The Titan15 V2 rear panel gives you full control over your sound with a built-in DSP menu featuring preset EQ modes, custom EQ, delay for time alignment, and a high pass filter for subwoofer integration. Two combo jack input channels with Mic/Line switching handle a wide variety of sources, Bluetooth provides wireless audio streaming, and the pre-DSP mix output lets you expand your system with additional speakers or subs.
