3.1 Powering On/Off
- Left Speaker: Connect the AC power adapter to the 'DC IN' port on the back of the left speaker and plug it into a wall outlet.
- Right Speaker: The right speaker has a built-in rechargeable battery. Ensure it is charged using the provided USB-C cable connected to a power source.
- Press and hold the power button (⏻) on the top of each speaker for a few seconds until you hear an audible 'Powering On' prompt.
- The speakers will automatically attempt to pair with each other. Once paired, you will hear 'Left Channel' and 'Right Channel' confirmations.
3.2 Bluetooth Pairing
- Ensure both speakers are powered on and paired with each other.
- On your audio device (smartphone, tablet, computer), enable Bluetooth.
- Search for 'Get Together Duo' in the list of available Bluetooth devices and select it to pair.
- A confirmation tone will sound from the speakers once successfully paired.
3.3 Wired Connections (AUX In / Line In)
For devices without Bluetooth, or for a wired connection, use the AUX IN or Line IN (RCA) ports on the back of the speakers.
- AUX IN: Connect a 3.5mm audio cable from your device's headphone jack to the 'AUX IN' port on either speaker.
- Line IN (RCA): Connect an RCA cable from your audio source (e.g., turntable, CD player) to the 'LINE IN' (R/L) ports on the back of the left speaker.

4. Operating the Speakers
4.1 Volume Control
Use the '+' and '-' buttons on the top of either speaker to adjust the volume. The volume can also be controlled directly from your connected audio device.
4.2 Stereo and Mono Modes
The Get Together Duo speakers are designed to operate as a stereo pair. However, the right speaker can be used independently in Mono Mode for a true wireless, portable experience. To switch to Mono Mode, ensure only the right speaker is powered on and paired with your device.
4.3 Portable Use
The right speaker features a rechargeable battery, providing up to 20 hours of playtime. This allows you to take it with you for portable listening. The left speaker requires continuous AC power.
