come the Primary unit (left channel). Both EXM MobileSUB units will automatically attempt to
re-establish the Stereo Mode connection the next time they are powered on and enabled, with
the same Primary and Secondary roles previously used.
You can still pair new devices to an EXM MobileSUB Primary unit if it is in Stereo Mode. Pairing
a device to an EXM MobileSUB that is in Secondary mode will end the stereo wireless connection.

Range
The EXM's Bluetooth™ operating range is rated for 10 meters (33 feet) line of sight. The quality of
the link can be affected by an excess of traffic in the 2.4 GHz bandwidth or structures between the
Bluetooth™ unit and the streaming device.
Note: When connected with Bluetooth™, ALL audio is streamed from your device. If you don't
want your streaming music to be interrupted, turn off 'notifications' on your device
Input Jacks
The input jacks on the EXM MobileSUB can be fed with mono or stereo from your source. It
is best that the audio source go directly to the EXM MobileSUB and then looped to your full
range loudspeakers through the High Pass Output jacks, this ensures there's an ideal cross-
over to the full-range loudspeaker.
For mono signals, the Left or Right jack will accept a ¼-inch or XLR cable. When using stereo
signals, the EXM MobileSUB's mono output will sum the Left and Right signals internally.
Note: stereo separation is maintained for signals leaving the High Pass Output jacks.
Sub Level Control
The EXM MobileSUB Sub Level control sets the amount of bass added to the sound system by the
EXM MobileSUB. This adjusts for the relative sensitivity of the companion full-range speakers and
the desired system frequency response. This control is best set by listening while operating at a
moderate level (i.e. before the onset of limiting) and then not changing it.
A setting of 0 dB on the EXM MobileSUB Sub Level control is the best starting point when set-
ting up a sound system. From there, adjustments can be made to achieve the best sound.
Note: The 0 dB mark refers to the setting that will give full power when the line input is used and
the input signal is at a level of 0 dBV (1 Vrms).
High Pass Output Jacks
The High Pass Output jacks are provided to eliminate the need for an external crossover, use
these jacks to feed the input of your powered full-range loudspeakers. The output signal of these
XLR jacks has had the audio below 100 Hz removed, helping to achieve a flat system response
when feeding the full-range loudspeakers.
Full Range Output Jack
The Full Range Output jack can be used to send the full range source signal (mono/summed) to
additional EXM MobileSUBs or other powered enclosures that do not require a stereo source.
Protection and Indicators
The EXM MobileSUB has circuitry to help prevent amplifier clipping, over excursion and to
protect the amplifier and/or voice coil from overheating. At high levels the internal limiter
will limit the gain of the EXM MobileSUB. This is to ensure the desired low frequency bal-
ance prior to limiting.
Battery Status Indicators
The EXM Mobile/Mobile12 has a series of four LEDs to indicate the approximate charge
level. The upper green LED is illuminated if there is greater than 75% charge in the
battery. The red LED only will indicate that the battery is critically low (approximately
10% remaining) and needs immediate charging.
The indicators will be engaged only when the power switch is turned on.
