Note: the following information applies only to the most recent versions of the BOOMSTER, which have been available for purchase since 2021.
BOOMSTER: Note about battery deep discharge protection (Deep Sleep)
When starting the device from deep sleep mode, the startup process may take up to 8 seconds (unlike normal), and must be performed by pressing the power button.
Note: The device cannot be started from deep sleep mode using the remote control.
Possible cause: signal too weak.
Solution: Extend the telescoping antenna all the way. Try changing the direction of the antenna. External antennas cannot be connected.
Scan for available DAB+ stations at your location
Choose DAB+ and hold the right-pointing arrow for more than 5 seconds. The display will change to read SCAN and the radio will search for new DAB+ stations. As soon as the search is complete, all available DAB+ stations will be possible to select.
Bad DAB+ reception?
Our technicians subjected the DAB receiver in the device at the Institut für Rundfunktechnik to extensive testing, which was passed, which ensures the basic functioning of DAB signals. But why then is it possible for DAB+ stations to get poor reception?
Unfortunately, DAB+ reception problems are no rare event (especially in comparison to FM radio). This is not ascribable to the receiving device, but to the frequency usage and limitations of DAB+ as a technology.
When reception is poor, DAB+ reception is interrupted. This may be caused by things such as LED light interference. FM reception on the other hand remains stable for longer because FM is capable of shifting between stereo and mono playback when reception is poor, and can still play even with less than perfect reception. Unfortunately, as a user, you have little impact on that. The best thing you can do is try placing the BOOMSTER in another part of the room to check if the DAB+ signal is more stable there.
What can I do with Party Mode and TWS Mode?
Party Mode: The BOOMSTER has support for Party Mode, which allows audio playback to be switched between two devices if both devices also support the function and are paired with the device. That means you can switch instantly between two playback devices, such as a pair of headphones and a BOOMSTER.
TWS Mode: The BOOMSTER offers TWS mode, which allows audio to be played back from two BOOMSTER speakers at the same time. The Bluetooth source will be selected automatically and the TWS pairing initiated. After the pairing process is completed successfully, you will see the words "TWS pairing" on the display. To switch between the two speakers, press the Bluetooth button and the favorite buttons 1/3 at the same time.
Does the BOOMSTER have waterproofing or moisture protection?
Yes, the BOOMSTER is IPX5 certified, meaning it is protected against water jets from all directions.
Which sources can the BOOMSTER play?
The BOOMSTER can receive FM and DAB+ radio, as well as Bluetooth. It also has an AUX input, which is under the rubber cover on the left (1)
