Bluetooth Isn’t Working. Why?
¡ If either USB or Optical are currently receiving data, the active input
will hold exclusive control over Beetle, thus ensuring uninterrupted
streaming. Note: This holds true even when the Host is correctly
paired to Beetle.
¡ Another Host device may already be paired with Beetle. No Power:
If Beetle does not appear in your Host’s BT settings, ensure that
Beetle has power and is turned on. (Is there any light coming from
the front window? If not, Beetle is likely not powered.)
¡ Your Host device’s Bluetooth function may be turned o or Beetle
may be out of sucient range.
Optical:
¡ Many of today’s modern source devices generate a tremendous
amount of noise, which nds its way into the audio signal and/or
onto the ground plane, thereby signicantly degrading the overall
sound of any audio system. Symptomatically, noise will reduce
dynamic contrast; destroy inner detail and texture; and leave
music sounding at, lifeless, and fatiguing. Fortunately, noise is
only electrical in nature. When music is played through an Optical
connection, it is optically isolated from these potentially harmful
noise currents, thus preventing the noise from transferring over to
Beetle, leaving the datastream with only the music.
Connecting Beetle to an Optical-Enabled
Device:
¡ To connect a source component to Beetle via Optical, you’ll need an
appropriate Optical cable. Beetle uses a full-size optical input. Most
source devices will also accept a full-size connector. However, most
computers and mobile devices use a 3.5mm optical connector,
often referred to as a “mini-Optical.” This 3.5mm port appears
identical to, and often shares, the headphone port. AudioQuest
oers a complete line of high-performance Optical cables. For
more information, scroll down to the Optical Fiber-Optic section at

¡ Once you’ve selected the correct cable, use it to connect Beetle to
your desired source.
