This feature is not yet implemented in our Harman Kardon Allure or Allure portable speaker. Future updates might include this option, so we advise keeping an eye on the release notes in the HK Alexa Setup app about possible future firmware updates.

Try reset the ESQUIRE2 speaker. Press and hold Volume + & phone button at the same time. When the unit is reset, it will power off, and turn on the unit again, and it is reset. Go into your Bluetooth device list and delete the ESQUIRE2 from your list. Now Bluetooth pair with it again. If the unit still do not work as intended, please contact our helpdesk.

If you are experience this message, please power cycle the Wi-Fi router and speaker(s). Disconnect the devices' power cable for 10 seconds and then reconnect them. Once the router and speaker(s) completely boots up, please try to setup again.

Some third-party apps do not support volume changing when your smart device is in lock screen mode.

If you are having problems playing music after setting up a new speaker (no matter what connection is used, Ethernet, Wi-Fi), please restart the Harman Kardon Controller app after the speaker setup is complete.

No, if a software update is required, then it would need to be send in for service. Please contact our helpdesk for further help.

We designed the USB folder data to show the latest modified folder and it is a design preference. It is not possible to change this setting.

The built-in YouTube app is able to stream up to 1080P content. Video with higher resolution is not available.

Use the Google Voice Assistant button on your Citation soundbar remote control when using these inputs HDMI, AUX or Optical. When you press this button, the current volume level will temporarily decrease and the Google Voice Assistant will begin listening for your command. The reason you need to use the remote control is that Google Assistant does not support Multi-channel audio from your source device (TV, BlueRay Player or TV-BOX) and therefore the mic is automatically muted unless the Google Voice Assistant button is pressed. Google Voice Assistant is always listening when streaming music over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

Please try turning Bluetooth off on your phone and trying again, and make sure Location services are enabled for the Google Home app. If this does not work, certain phones are not compatible with the Google Home setup process, including the Vivo X21A, Vivo NEX S, and Vivo X9. Please use a different device for setup.

To use Chromecast, you must continue the setup in the Google Home app first.
Configuring the speaker only with Apple WAC will not enable the Chromecast feature.
For this to happen, you must sign-in with your Google account.

You can quickly try out the Chromecast feature, and if you do not like it, reset your Citation or LINK speaker, and redo the configuration part on your Apple device.

Unless the two remote controls are identical, you can only assign one remote control at a time to the SB16.

1. Make sure all wall and power outlet switches are on, and that all switches for your speaker system are on. Switch mains power to the system on/off by pressing the bass speaker volume button located on the back of the subwoofer. This button acts as power button when pushed in. 2. Ensure that the input jack is pushed all the way into the output socket on the source device. Check all the connections and secure them. 3. Your volume settings are too low or muted. Increase your volume by pressing the + key located on the right satellite. You can also check volume from your source device. If you are using a computer, check the volume control located in the taskbar, as well as the volume control in the media player or browser. This will mean a total of three volume controls in your computer alone. 4. To mute and unmute the speakers, touch the shining + and - controls on the right-hand "stick" at the same time. Only a slight touch is needed, since these are purely electronic touchpads.

The upgrade via HID tool will only update the Bluetooth module inside of the BDS device. There are two ways of upgrading your system. 1: Upgrading Bluetooth via HID Tool. 2: Upgrade BDS firmware via the built-in software center. The built-in software center will not upgrade your Bluetooth module.

Our ESQUIRE2 support A2DP Audio codec, which you will need for your MAC to be able to play to our ESQUIRE2.

1. Disconnect/unplug the product from the network cable. If dealing with a smartphone, forget the wi-fi on the phone. 2. Shut the router completely OFF. (do not reboot, you must turn it completely off) 3. Boot the router up and let it complete it's connection with everything, usually a few minutes. 4. Shut the router completely OFF, again. This is REALLY important. Before turning it off a second time, the router still has the product in it and is looking to connect to it. Shutting it off a second time allows the router to go through a complete power cycle without ever seeing the product, so it will remove it from its system. 5. Boot the router up, again, and let it complete it's connection with everything. 6. Now plug-in/turn on the product. The router should find the product and all should work. 7. If dealing with a smartphone, search for the wi-fi and reconnect to it. All should work after this.

Make sure you disable AP/Client isolation on your Access Point / Extender and that Multicast forwarding is not disabled between the W-Fi networks. However, we cannot guarantee than streaming will work flawless as Extender networks are tricky and can cause many issues. Always use a 5GHz Wi-Fi network extender for best results.

We do not recommend using WEP encryption method, as this can leave your Wi-Fi vulnerable to outside threats. Our OMNI+ does not support this encryption type, we are supporting WPA and up.

Troubleshooting on a Wi-Fi Network:

1. Unplug your router, then plug it back in.
2. Give the router a minute or two to start up again.
3. Make sure your phone, tablet, or computer has reconnected to the correct Wi-Fi network before checking the SmartThings app again, making sure not to connect to a guest network, as this can prevent your devices from connecting to your speaker.
4. Use the router’s default “WPA2” security setting. Do no use “WEP” security setting on the router as this is not supported to connect your speaker with the internet.

Troubleshooting with ethernet:

1. Check the ethernet cable to make sure that the ethernet cable is firmly plugged in to both the router and your speaker.
2. If possible, try connecting the ethernet cable to a different port on the router.
3. You can also try using a different ethernet cable to make sure that the cable is not faulty.

This article mostly pertains to car audio but can also be used when setting the crossover for a home theater system.

When setting up full-range speakers (2-way, 3-way, etc.), it is not necessary to use a HPF.  If a speaker’s frequency response is 40Hz-20kHz, this means that it naturally rolls off at 40Hz on the low end, and 20kHz on the high end.  So even if it is asked to reproduce 30Hz, it won’t, and all is good.

However, why make the speaker try to reproduce frequencies it can’t, or make the amp work any harder than it needs to.  For this reason, it is good practice to set your HPF at the lowest frequency listed in the speaker’s frequency response. So, if the speaker’s frequency response is 35Hz-20kHz you would set it to 35Hz.

Of course, there is no harm in setting it higher than 35Hz, if you’d like, or if you have a subwoofer handling the lower frequencies.  Another reason you might set it higher, if you have a car system with 4” speakers in the rear door, but 6x9’s in the front door.  You can let the 6x9’s handle all of the low frequencies while the 4” speakers take everything above 100Hz (for example), even though the speaker's frequency response may go down to 55Hz.

There are two other methods for setting the HPF on your speaker.
 

1. If your speaker plays fine without using the HPF:  Begin playing music and slowly turn up the HPF until you notice that the bass response is diminishing, then slightly turn it back until you get full response again.  This now guarantees that you have filtered out the bass that the speaker cannot reproduce without sacrificing any low frequency reproduction of the speaker.
2. If your speaker is popping or crackling on really deep bass notes:  This may be due to installation location, or simply pushing too much bass to the speaker.  In this case, turn up the HPF until the popping stops.  This is not something that is normally suggested, but if you have a full system up and running and are happy with the results except for some popping in particularly small speakers, adjusting the HPF up a little may help.
