This symbol is to alert the user to other, more specific risks.
This symbol indicates dangers caused by the development of fire.
Place the unit on a stable, even surface.
Do not place this unit close to strong magnetic fields.
To ensure optimum acoustic performance and safe cable routing, please place the unit at least 5 cm away from the wall.
Lay the speaker and power cables in such a way that they cannot be damaged. The power cable may not be kinked or laid over sharp edges, stood on or exposed to chemicals. A power cable with damaged insulation can cause electric shocks and poses a fire risk. As such, it must be changed before the unit is used again
The device should never be exposed to water droplets or water splashes, such as those found near a bathtub, wash basin, kitchen sink, washing machine, wet basement or swimming pool. Never place containers filled with liquids, such as e.g. flower vases, on the device.
Slots and openings in the housing are used to ventilate the device to ensure reliable operation and to protect the device from overheating. Install the device according to the manufacturer's instructions. Never block the ventilation by placing the device on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar soft surfaces. This device should not be installed in a bookshelf or built-in wardrobe unless adequate ventilation is ensured.
Do not install the device near hot surfaces, such as radiators, fan heaters, stoves or other devices that can be hot. Never place objects with open flame, such as candles or lanterns, on or near the device.
Use only the accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Never overload mains sockets, extension cords or multiple sockets, otherwise there is a risk of fire or electric shock.
The device should be disconnected from the mains during thunderstorms and if it is not used for a long time.
Be careful not to allow foreign material or liquid to enter this device through ventilation holes, otherwise it may come into contact with high voltage components or short circuit resulting in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids of any kind on this device.
The device is not designed for listening with headphones. To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume for long periods.
The power button does not disconnect the power supply from the mains. To completely disconnect the device from the mains, unplug the mains cable from the socket.
The mains plug must be easily accessible so that the unit can be disconnected from the mains at any time.
Unplug the mains adapter of this device from the mains socket before cleaning this product. Clean the speakers with a soft, moist, clean and colour-neutral cloth only, without any aggressive or scouring cleaning agents. Speaker grills are textile covered. Due to electrostatic charging, dust may accumulate on the speaker cover. You can remove this by carefully using a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment if required.
In case of dirt or stains:
Moisten a soft, colour-neutral cloth with detergent or normal stain remover and gently rub away the stain. You can also treat the mark/stain directly with normal dry stain remover spray (vacuum up powder). Do not moisten the fabric cover directly with detergent or stain remover (risk of encrustation). Do not use any solvents to clean the fabric.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions when using stain removers.
Maintenance and repair work should only be carried out by a qualified customer service. Maintenance/repair is required if the device has been damaged, if liquid has entered the device, if objects have entered the device, if the device has been exposed to rain or moisture, when it stops working properly or has fallen down.
Do not remove screws, covers or body parts.

If you have an iOS device, you can use AirPlay 2 for multiroom streaming.
Another option for playing music with the multiroom function is to use the DTS Play-Fi app..

Note
If you own a Loewe audio system with WDAL2.0 function, this speaker can be integrated into this system and will be used to play one of the available audio channels. Up to 5 speakers and one subwoofer can be connected to the WDAL2.0 audio system. A complete set of speakers properly set up in your room will create true surround sound.
SL – surround left channel
FL – front left channel
C – centre channel
FR – front right channel
SR – surround right channel
Note:
If the speaker is already paired via WDAL2.0 and you want to use it to play another channel, follow these steps:
Resets the device to the default settings. Press and hold the WPS and PAIRING buttons on the bottom of the speaker until you hear sound and all the LEDs light up. The speaker will then turn off and restart. Wait until the speaker turns on completely (solid white light on top). You can now safely disconnect the speaker from the mains.
Do not disconnect the speaker from the mains before it has fully booted up after the factory reset process, otherwise you may damage the speaker!
To upgrade speaker firmware:
The latest software can be found at: www.loewe.tv/int/support
Follow the installation steps in the document supplied with the software.
To upgrade the multiroom function of your speaker:
It may take a few minutes for the software to update. Do not unplug your speaker, turn off the device, or disconnect the USB stick or network during the update. These actions can potentially destroy your speaker!
Use your phone, tablet or computer as a remote control for Spotify. Go to spotify.com/connect to learn how.
You can place klang mr1 on furniture or shelves, but there is also the option of mounting it on the wall.
Installation must be carried out by qualified personnel only. Incorrect assembly can result in severe personal injury and property damage. It is the installer's responsibility to verify that the wall will safely support the total load of the unit and wall brackets.
When drilling holes in walls it is essential to avoid contact with electrical cables and water or gas pipes contained within. Use of a good quality live wire detector and hidden object locator is therefore recommended. Only drill into structures when you are sure it is safe to do so.
If the speaker is wall mounted, you will not have access to the buttons on the bottom, so you'll need to make any necessary connections first.
Additional tools and hardware (not included) are required for the installation.
Please refer to the last pages of this manual for an illustration of the wall installation.
You can control your speaker with the Assist Audio 1 remote control. This is an optional accessory that may not be available in the package. It can be supplied with other Loewe audio products.
The remote control is programmed by default for use with the audio system. If you want to use it with a multiroom speaker, you will need to reprogram it. Press (Night mode) and
(Play/Pause) at the same time.
