First, please download the Revox Multiuser App from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store and install it on your device.

You will receive a direct link via the QR code on the protective film on the glass front of your A200. Simply use the QR scanner on your handset to scan the QR code on the right and follow the link. The link is equally valid for iOS and Android devices.

Standby & Displayanzeige

Switching on the A200

Press the ▶️ button to start the A200. If the A200 is in deep standby (off state > 20 minutes), it will take approx. 30 seconds before the A200 is ready for use. During start-up, it shows the Revox A200 logo.

Switch off the A200

Briefly press the ▶️ (Play/Power) button; the A200 is now in standby mode. In battery-only mode (without mains supply), deep standby is automatically selected after 20 minutes instead of normal standby to save battery capacity. The A200 is no longer visible on the network until it is restarted using the button.

Note Users in deep standby and battery mode: In deep standby without the power supply connected, the A200 is no longer connected to the network and the user provided is no longer visible/selectable.

Display screen

Revox Connect

Revox Connect is a connection routine that uses Bluetooth to establish an initial connection between the A200 and your mobile device. Using the Revox Multiuser app, the A200 can now be informed of the WLAN network with its key (password) via a Bluetooth connection.

Steps:

Open the Multiuser app and press the blue ▶️ Connect icon at the bottom right.
Press the Bluetooth field to start the search for Multiuser device.
The Multiuser app icon is displayed during the search.
The STUDIOMASTER found is displayed in the field with the BT name and BT strength (RSSI).
Now select the desired WLAN.
Once you have entered the WLAN password, the dialog closes and the A200 is displayed in the Multiuser app as a recognized device and can be operated.

* In the app, the Connect function can also be activated in the settings in the Tools section.

Multispeaker operation

Multispeaker mode allows one or more clients to be permanently paired with a master. The A200 set then behaves like a single loudspeaker in Multiuser mode. The right/left assignment is made in the Audio menu. Several independent multispeaker groups can be created.

The wireless audio connection between the A200s (master to client) is established via the A200's own WLAN, whereby the A200 master generates its own hotspot to which the clients can connect via a P2P connection. [P2P = Peer-to-Peer]

Multispeaker Status Indicators:

- The A200 is not in multispeaker mode
▼ The A200 is the master of a multispeaker group - Flashes in pairing mode (30 s)
▼ The A200 is the client of a multispeaker group - Flashes until pairing is established

Note WLAN channel

The Wi-Fi channel of the master hotspot is always the Wi-Fi channel of the router to which the master has connected. In the 5G range, channels 52-144 are not permitted as a hotspot, which is why a master must always be connected to the router outside of these Wi-Fi channels. Alternatively, the master can be supplied with a wired LAN; channel 149 is then automatically selected by the master as the Wi-Fi hotspot for the client.

Diagram: Illustrates a Master A200 connected via LAN to a router, creating a WLAN and P2P connection to a Client A200.

Audio settings

The audio stream of the A200 always contains the right and left channel. In the audio menu of the A200, you can decide whether the A200 should only play one (R or L) or both channels (mono = L +R). This assignment is particularly important in multispeaker mode to ensure correct audio playback.

Speaker channel [Audio]	Description
M Mono	Left and right channels are added to form a mono channel; the A200 plays solo.
L Left channel	A200 represents the left audio channel, e.g. if two A200s are playing as a stereo set (e.g. multispeaker).
R Right channel	A200 represents the right audio channel, e.g. when two A200s are playing as a stereo set (e.g. multispeaker).
L Left channel + P100	The A200 is connected to a P100* and plays the left [L] channel itself; the P100 plays the right channel.
R Right channel + P100	The A200 is connected to a P100* and plays the right [R] channel itself; the P100 plays the left channel.

*STUDIOART P100 additional loudspeaker

The STUDIOMASTER A200 has an extra power amplifier that can be used to drive the STUDIOART P100 passive loudspeaker. This makes it easy to achieve impressive stereo operation. The P100 is supplied ex works with a prefabricated 3m cable, which can be shortened to suit your own requirements. The STUDIOART P100 is best connected when the A200 is in standby mode. The next time the A200 is switched on, the P100 is automatically recognized. If the A200 was switched on during the connection to the P100, the P100 will not be recognized and will remain mute. In this case, simply switch off the A200 once using the ▶️ Play/Power button and wait approx. 4 seconds. The P100 is then recognized and shown on the display. If the setup situation is such that the STUDIOMASTER A200 is on the left side, the right/left assignment can simply be swapped in the A200 sound settings in the Multiuser app or directly in the audio menu of the A200. In stereo mode, the battery life is slightly shorter than in mono mode.

Multiuser system of Revox

Multiuser system - what is it?

Multiroom solutions offer the possibility of listening to music in several rooms simultaneously and individually. Revox has been a leading provider of special audio solutions for over 40 years and offers the highest level of exclusivity with its products. Multiuser | Multiroom Systems from Revox go much further than conventional products. They enable the highest sound quality and unique individuality for every single user in one room but also in several rooms.

And this is where the advantages of the Revox Multiuser System come into play: every Revox system, whether set up in one room or in several rooms as a Multiroom solution, offers several user profiles with their own user favorites. This means that music sources or content (radio stations, playlists, etc.) can be specifically adapted to your own needs. Each A200 adds a user profile to the multiuser system. If, for example, four A200s are registered in a network/home network, four users can operate the multiuser system independently.

Each user can enter their name so that every family member is visible. Once you have selected your user profile, you can personalize it further in the app, e.g. by selecting your favorites station or a special playlist and adding it to your user favorites using the 3-dot symbol. The new user favorite is placed at the bottom of the favorites list and can be sorted there by holding and sliding. In addition to individual favorites, you can also create a favorites folder containing individual favorites.
