Brane X FAQ

Connectivity

How do I connect my speaker to Bluetooth?

Tap the Bluetooth button on the speaker. The speaker becomes discoverable when the blue light on the front begins pulsing.

Select your speaker from your mobile device’s Bluetooth list.

The light will stop pulsing and remain solid blue once connected.

Select the speaker as your Bluetooth output device from your music player. Your speaker is now ready to play from your favorite music app.

How do I connect my speaker to Wi-Fi?

Ensure your mobile device is connected to the Wi-Fi network you want to connect your speaker to.

If the speaker has never been connected to Wi-Fi, the front light will pulse white when powered on. If there is no pulsing white light, press and hold the Bluetooth button for 5 seconds until it begins pulsing.

To begin the onboarding process, download the Brane app, then follow the prompts to connect the speaker to Wi-Fi.

Once connected, the white light will stop pulsing and remain solid. Your speaker will automatically connect to this network whenever powered on.

Device Compatibility

Can I use both iOS and Android for setting up my speaker?

Yes, both iOS and Android phones are compatible. Download the Brane app from the App Store or Play Store and follow the app onboarding instructions. The Brane X supports UPnP on Wi-Fi for Android users.

Recommended free apps: MediaMonkey, BubbleUPnP, and Hi-Fi Cast. For a more comprehensive experience, the paid app AirMusic ($5.99) streams content over UPnP, including Apple Music and Amazon Music.

Listening Options

How do I listen using AirPlay?

In your phone’s music player, tap the AirPlay icon at the bottom of the screen. Select your Brane speaker as the output device.

Note: The speaker must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your mobile device.

How do I listen using Spotify?

Use your phone, tablet, or computer as a remote control for Spotify. Visit spotify.com/connect to learn more. Note: The speaker must be onboarded to the same Wi-Fi network as your mobile device.

TV Setup & Wired Input

General Recommendations

Best Method

Use an Apple TV box (not the app). Works when Apple TV is the source.

Bluetooth Connection

Some TVs offer a Bluetooth speaker option in their audio menu, but may require lip sync setting adjustment, depending on the TV.

Physical Connection (Soundbar Mode)

Use the Brane app to set your speaker to Soundbar Mode. Both the speaker and mobile device must be on the same Wi-Fi network.

This mode minimizes time delays and ensures proper lip sync. Other inputs like Bluetooth and AirPlay will function normally.

Channel Splitting

To split an AUX cable to separate left and right channels, do not use a simple AUX cable/headphone splitter, as it will not separate the channels. Instead, use this cable: Channel Splitter Cable (in combination with two of the RCA to AUX adapters linked above).

Speaker Features

Why does my speaker make a noise when turning on/off?

The speaker uses an internal air pump to launch the Repel-Attract Driver (RAD) from its parked position. The pump operates briefly when powering on/off to overcome magnetic forces. Battery level and EQ settings are also announced when powered on.

What do the LED colors and patterns mean?

Refer to the LED legend for more information on light signals.

How do I know when my speaker is fully charged?

The orange light will turn off once the speaker is fully charged.

How do I know if the mics are enabled?

A red light on the top of the speaker indicates the mics are disabled. Press the Microphone Mute button to enable them (the red light will turn off).

How do I change my speaker’s name?

Open the Speaker List in the Brane app.

Select the speaker, tap its name, then enter the desired name.

How do I group multiple speakers?

Go to the Groups page in the Brane app.

Tap the plus button to create a new group and select the speakers you want to group. Note: Speakers must be powered on and connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

How do I set up Alexa on my speaker?

Open the Speaker List in the Brane app.

Tap Voice Assistant, then follow the prompts to connect your Amazon account. Note: If the mics are disabled, the hardware prevents any signal from reaching the processor.

How do I turn off voice controls/Alexa on my Brane X speaker?

To disable voice controls and Alexa, simply press the Mic Mute button on your speaker. This will turn off the microphone, preventing it from listening for voice commands. When the mic is muted, Alexa and other voice features will be disabled until you turn it back on.

Troubleshooting

The white light is not pulsing while onboarding my speaker, how do I enable it?

If you do not see the pulsing white light, press and hold the Bluetooth button for 5 seconds until the white light on the front of the speaker begins pulsing.

My iPhone is having trouble discovering my speaker during AirPlay setup. What should I do?

If you experience the AirPlay setup process stalling or unable to find your speaker after more than 10 seconds, turn airplane mode on and off again and try the connection process again.

How do I update my speaker’s firmware?

Download the Brane app and onboard your speaker. Go to your Speaker List, then tap the speaker you would like to manage. Tap Firmware, then tap Advanced Settings. You may update your speaker from this page if an update is available. Note: If your speaker is running on Firmware 2.1 or earlier, your speaker must be plugged into the power adapter for the duration of the update.

How do I factory reset my speaker?

Make sure your speaker is powered on. Press and hold the plus and minus buttons for 7 seconds until you hear the reset voice prompt. The reset is complete after the speaker restarts and the orange-yellow light turns off.

Refurbished Brane X Units

What kind of cosmetic wear should I expect?

Most of our refurbished units look nearly brand new, but occasionally, you might get one with a light scuff or tiny scratch. Nothing that affects how it sounds or functions.

Is the sound performance affected?

Not at all. Every refurbished unit is tested and certified by our team in Austin to make sure it sounds just as powerful as a brand-new Brane X. Same subwoofer, same bass, same immersive experience.

What is the return policy for refurbished units?

Just like our new speakers, refurbished Brane X units come with a 30-day return policy. If you’re not loving it, send it back—no hard feelings. Plus, you’re still covered by our 1-year warranty.

Warranty

What is the warranty policy?

Every Brane X comes with a one-year limited warranty and a 30-day money-back guarantee for peace of mind.
