16 Optimizing Sound Quality TM is proprietary technology that enhances stereo separation. You can enable/disable the UQ3 by pressing the button, and the LED indicator will indicate UQ3 current status. UQ3 Status LED indicator Using the battery power Charging the battery ON Blinks once in white Blinks once in green OFF Blinks twice in white Blinks twice in green TIP: Sound Kick 2 has been tuned to a balanced acoustic profile. You can use the EQ settings on your playback device to further customize the EQ balance to suit your personal preference. Note: Some custom EQ settings when combined with UQ3 enhancement may cause distortion. TIP: For playback in Bluetooth or Aux mode, the output volume is set by both the volume control on Sound Kick 2 and the source device. Both may be adjusted to set your preferred listening volume. Typically, sound quality is best when the volume of the source device is between 70~90%. Note: As with any speaker system, if the volume on both your source device and the speaker are at maximum output, it is possible to overdrive the speakers and cause distortion. When using an iOS device or other device that offers a “volume limit” feature, turn this setting off for higher volume listening in Bluetooth or Aux mode.
