The boAt Aavante Bar Mystiq is a refined 100W RMS 2.1 channel home audio system built around boAt’s acclaimed Signature Sound engine. Its dual soundbar drivers and dedicated wired subwoofer work in concert to produce precise, room-filling bass and crystal-clear highs. Whether you’re deep in a Bollywood blockbuster, a cricket live stream, or a late-night binge, the Mystiq delivers each layer of audio with emotional clarity. With Bluetooth v5.3, HDMI (ARC), Optical, AUX, and USB — it connects to virtually everything. Four EQ presets (Music, Movie, News, 3D) let you fine-tune the sound signature to your mood. Wall-mountable and remote-controlled, it fits elegantly into any living room setup.
Step-by-Step Setup & Configuration Guide
1. Initial Power-On
Connect the soundbar power cable to a wall socket. The unit enters standby mode automatically (red LED on). Short-press the Power button on the soundbar or remote to wake it up.
2. Subwoofer Cable
Plug the wired subwoofer cable firmly into the SUB OUT port on the soundbar rear until it seats fully.
3. TV via HDMI (ARC) — Recommended
Connect an HDMI cable from your TV’s HDMI ARC port to the soundbar. On TV, go to Settings → Sound → Digital Audio Output → set to PCM or Fixed. Enable HDMI-CEC (called AnyNet+, Bravia Sync, or Simplink depending on brand). Press the INPUT button and select HDMI ARC mode.
4. TV via Optical
Remove protective caps from both ends of the optical cable. Insert into TV’s Optical OUT socket and soundbar’s OPT IN. On TV set audio output to Optical/SPDIF. Press INPUT on remote → select OPT mode.
5. Bluetooth Pairing
Press INPUT on remote to enter BT mode (LED blinks rapidly). On your phone open Bluetooth settings → search for ‘Aavante Bar Mystiq’ → tap to pair. LED turns solid blue when connected.
6. AUX & USB Playback
For AUX: plug 3.5mm cable from device headphone port into soundbar AUX IN. For USB: insert a FAT32 USB drive (MP3/WAV files) — soundbar auto-switches to USB mode.
7. EQ & Bass Tuning
Press the EQ button on the remote to cycle through Music → Movie → News → 3D presets. Use BASS +/- to adjust subwoofer output level independently.

Connectivity FAQs
▸ How do I connect the Aavante Bar Mystiq via Bluetooth?
Short-press the INPUT button on the soundbar or remote to enter BT mode. Open Bluetooth on your phone, search for ‘Aavante Bar Mystiq’, and tap to connect. The LED stops blinking when paired successfully.
▸ How do I change the input source?
Press the INPUT button repeatedly to cycle through: BT → AUX → USB → Optical → HDMI ARC.
▸ Will it connect to Amazon Firestick?
The Firestick cannot connect directly to the soundbar. Connect your Firestick to the TV’s HDMI port, then connect the soundbar to the TV via HDMI ARC or Optical. The TV acts as the audio bridge.
▸ Does it work with non-smart TVs without Bluetooth?
Yes. Use HDMI (ARC), Optical, or 3.5mm AUX cable to connect it to any TV — no smart features required.
Sound Issue Troubleshooting
▸ What should I do if there is no sound output?
For AUX: confirm the 3.5mm jack is fully inserted.
For HDMI ARC: confirm the cable is in the ARC-labeled HDMI port on your TV. Set TV audio output to PCM / Fixed, not Variable.
For Optical: remove the rubber protective cap from both ends of the cable and reconnect.
For Bluetooth: check the LED is solid blue (not blinking), meaning the device is paired and playing.
For USB: ensure the drive is FAT32 formatted with MP3/WAV files.
▸ What should I do if sound is distorted, too low, or has poor quality?
Disable any EQ settings on your phone/source device — use soundbar EQ only.
Move your phone/device closer to remove obstacles.
If distortion is only at high volumes, reduce the volume and increase BASS level separately.
Test with a different media player or device to isolate the issue.
Try a different power socket.
▸ The TV shows audio going to TV speakers, not to the soundbar — fix?
In TV Sound Settings, change Audio Output from ‘TV Speaker’ to ‘Audio System / External Speaker’. Also confirm HDMI-CEC is enabled.
▸ How do I adjust bass separately?
Use the BASS +/- buttons on the remote. Select the Movie EQ preset for maximum bass impact.
Remote Control Issues
▸ The remote is not working — what do I check?
Replace the batteries and ensure correct polarity (+/-).
Point remote directly at the IR sensor on the soundbar front panel within 5 metres.
Remove obstructions between remote and sensor.
Note: Remote playback controls (play/pause/skip) do not function in AUX mode — switch to BT or USB first.
Select the correct source before pressing playback controls.
Check for physical damage or battery leakage.
▸ Soundbar buttons not responding?
Ensure you are in the correct mode. Buttons are limited in AUX mode. Check for physical damage. Unplug, wait 30 seconds, and replug.
General & Technology FAQs
▸ How does Auto Standby mode work?
The Aavante Bar Mystiq automatically enters standby after 30 minutes of no audio input. It wakes up as soon as any button is pressed or audio signal is received. To fully power off, remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
▸ Is the Aavante Bar Mystiq wall mountable?
Yes. The soundbar includes wall-mount brackets. Fix the bracket to the wall using appropriate screws and slide the soundbar into place. No installation service is provided by the seller.
▸ Does it support Dolby Audio?
No, the Aavante Bar Mystiq does not support Dolby Audio digital decoding.
▸ Does it support Alexa voice commands?
No, Alexa integration is not supported.

Yes. Connect any device with Bluetooth, 3.5mm AUX output, or USB storage capability — laptops, smartphones, tablets, desktops, and gaming consoles.
▸ What are the EQ modes and how do I switch them?
There are 4 EQ presets: EQ1 – Music, EQ2 – Movie, EQ3 – News, EQ4 – 3D Surround. Press the EQ button on the remote to cycle through them.
