Bluetooth Range
SONAR Xi supports Bluetooth 5. Its signal strength depends on the
Bluetooth player’s transmission power. Bluetooth 5-enabled devices’ range
can extend out to 40 meters. The range of devices that do not support
Bluetooth 5 usually runs up to 10 meters, but that depends on factors such
as the device’s quality, transmission power and the given environment.
Objects such as walls obstructing the transmission path, a protective cover
or a holder for the Bluetooth device can interfere with the signal.
Out of Range – Bluetooth Interruptus
The app switches over to Demo mode when the device is out of Bluetooth
range. A broken connection also interrupts the audio stream. The app
automatically reconnects to SONAR Xi as soon as the device is back within
range. The SONAR REMOTE app also automatically connects to SONAR Xi
after the power is switched off and back on again.
If you are streaming audio via Bluetooth when the signal drops out, you’ll
have to reconnect the two devices manually. You don’t have to do anything
on the SONAR Xi, but you do have to select the SONAR Xi in the Bluetooth-
enabled device’s list of discovered devices. The same applies if you switch
the SONAR Xi off and back on again: You have to select it manually in the
device’s Bluetooth list.
Bluetooth Audio Stream Stutters or Drops Out
The app sends individual data packets at short intervals, so it is a lot less
susceptible to interference than an audio stream, which requires a constant
fl ow of data. To get a good signal without glitches, it is best to align SONAR
Xi and the source device in line of sight of one another.
Good to know: Your source device may be set up to issue ringtones,
notifi cations and system sounds. The speakers will render these sounds
along with the audio stream if they arrive via Bluetooth, so be sure to
disable these functions on your Bluetooth device.

4 The SONAR REMOTE App
SONAR
REMOTE
You can run the SONAR REMOTE app on a smartphone or tablet to control
up to two SONAR Xi units remotely via Bluetooth.
The SONAR REMOTE app provides a Volume fader and a Mute button for
each channel. In Edit mode, the left and right arrows let you quickly step
through the individual channels and adjust their EQ settings. The Scenes
button serves to store and load mixer settings. The fi ve-segment Bluetooth
display indicates the strength of the signal connecting SONAR Xi and the
Bluetooth device.
The SONAR Xi display shows all settings as they are adjusted in the SONAR
REMOTE app, and vice versa. The Bluetooth link enables the two displays to
sync up in real time.
You’ll see a blue horizontal bar, faders and position arrows in the app when
a single SONAR Xi is connected. The primary SONAR Xi’s controls are also
blue with two SONAR Xi connected, but the secondary SONAR Xi’s are
green. Controls that address both SONAR Xi units are orange.
