For details on how to change the settings on the app, refer to the Music Center app Help Guide.

      Hi Oscar,

      Thank you for the purchase! We're glad to hear that you like the sound quality and lights of the speaker. The maximum sound volume for playing music depends on whether the speaker is running on power from the connected AC outlet or from the rechargeable built-in battery. This, however, does not indicate a malfunction.To play music louder, connect the speaker to an AC outlet.

    The Speaker itself sounds amazing you have a well balance Acoustics but for the size you expect it to be louder, and it's in a sense a big disappointment it's a big nice sounding speaker but it's not loud and for the best performance you have to have it plugged it whenever you use it to be somewhat loud
