Libratone Live and Lounge are not dock station. They are AirPlay sound systems. This means that your iDevice must be AirPlay compatible (iOS 4.2 and iTunes 10.1 or later). If you have an older Apple product, this might not be the case, so make sure to check out the list on the right.
AIRPLAY COMPATIBILITY
iTunes10.1 (Mac or PC) or later
If you find your product on the list, you’re almost set. The only thing you need now is a wireless Internet connection in your home, since AirPlay is an Internet streaming technology. Now, with that out of the way, you can go set your music free.

You can place Libratone Live just about anywhere you like and get the FullRoom perspective. Still, a bit of good advice won’t hurt:
If you place Libratone Live against a hard backdrop with about 20 cm/8 inches of air, you allow the sound to reflect off the wall. This gives you a deeper bass and an even fuller soundscape.
If you place Libratone Live in a corner close to the walls, it takes the edge off the FullRoom stereo experience. We won’t recommend it, but you are your own master.
If you download the “Libratone” app from Apple’s App Store, you can enhance your sound experience. By feeding the app with info about the placement of your Libratone Live, it automatically adjusts the sound settings to match the room.

You can place Libratone Lounge just about anywhere you like and get the FullRoom perspective. Still, a bit of good advice won’t hurt:
If you place your Libratone Lounge against a hard backdrop, you get the best sound experience. It doesn’t matter if you hang it on the wall, place it on a shelf or put it on the ground – the sound won’t change.
If you plan on using your Libratone Lounge for TV-sound, we recommend that you place it underneath your television set. This way you get both the FullRoom perspective and the regular stereo effect.

Once your AirPlay system is set up, you’re good to go.
To start AirPlaying just look for the AirPlay icon on your iDevice or in iTunes and choose your Libratone sound system as the speaker.
If your have more than one Libratone unit, you can set up a multi room system via iTunes on your Mac/PC. This way you can stream your music to 3-6 speakers simultaneously depending on your network.

You can connect the old fashioned way as well, by using the 3,5 mini jack/digital mini plug. This is a great way of upgrading the mediocre sound of your TV. You can use both the analog and the digital ports of your TV. We recommend you use the analog connection (‘headphone out’), since this enables you to use your TV remote control to adjust the volume.
If you choose the digital connection, you need to download our app to control the volume. On most Apple products you can adjust the volume directly on the product - also when you use the digital connection.
Oh, by the way - in our world wireless always trumps wires. This means that your AirPlay streaming overrules the AUX connection. So make sure nothing is streaming, when you want to use AUX.
