CONGRATULATIONS!

Libratone Loop is based on a patent-pending audio technology. We call it FullRoom™ sound.
Allow us to explain:
Regular speakers have closed cabinets. They push the sound waves in one direction - forward.
Libratone Loop, on the other hand, plays like an acoustic instrument, dispersing sound waves
in multiple directions, giving you a 360° sound experience.
FullRoom™ technology means that you only need one sound source to get a room full of sound.
To create the best sound conditions Libratone Loop should be placed against a hard backdrop.
Whether you hang it on the wall, place it on a shelf or put it on the ground you get the same
amazing sound quality.
Placing Libratone Loop close to a wall will reflect the sound o the wall. This gives you a
deeper bass and an even fuller soundscape. We don’t recommend you place Libratone Loop in
a corner since this will limit the FullRoom™ experience, but it’s up to you.

FULLROOM™ MUSIC AT HOME AIRPLAY
AirPlay is a technology designed by Apple to transmit audio and video instantly, from source
to source, within a Wi-Fi network. Once AirPlay is installed, you can stream from iTunes - both
on Mac and PC - or you can use your iOS devices: iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. This means that
you have your entire music and movie library in the palm of your hand, ready to be set free.
MUSIC ON THE GO
Libratone PlayDirect™ is AirPlay to go. It allows you to stream your music wirelessly in non-Wi-Fi
areas from PC/Mac or your iOS devices: iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. Libratone PlayDirect™
technology creates a direct network connection between your speaker and music device.
