To use this Meyer Sound MM - 4XP loudspeaker, you'll need to connect it to an external power source as it doesn't have a built - in power supply. First, find a suitable place to set up the speaker, making sure it's stable. Then connect your audio device to the speaker using the appropriate cables. When you're done using it, turn it off to save energy. For maintenance, keep the speaker clean by gently wiping it with a dry cloth. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture, as this can damage the internal components.
