Most iPhones are setup to broadcast the Personal Hotspot WiFi as a 5 GHz network and not as a 2.4 GHz network. It may be necessary to go into the iPhone settings for the Personal Hotspot and turn on the Maximize Compatibility.
Having a convenient audio source for kitchen duty and office work allows you to get away from your phone, relax and take a break.
Audio is well balanced for music and voice clarity. Selectable, built-in 5-band equalizer (Jazz, Talk, Rock, Classical, Vocal) plus adjustable equalizer to modify your personal listening. There is a line-out and/or a headphone jack available for your amplified speaker system. Bluetooth V5.0 integrated chip allows you to also connect and play music from your smartphone or stream to Bluetooth earbuds / headphones.
Discovering new content on the Mondo Elite has never been easier. The Mondo Elite includes built in audio apps for access to over 30,000 internet radio stations. You can enter a general term like 'Africa' and find most stations in the world with that term in their name. I was able to find old African music (similar to 'Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes' type) playing on 'Africa Heritage On' easily that way. I listen to Bloomberg Radio in the early morning but normally you get the New York feed. By searching 'Bloom' I was able to select the San Francisco feed which is normally unavailable unless you are in San Francisco. I found intelligent 60's music on KOZT. Bob Crane
