- Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
Quick setup
- Connect the included speaker wire from the A2+ left (powered) speaker to the right (passive) speaker, observing proper wire polarity to each speaker connector.
- Verify that the volume/power knob on the rear panel of the left speaker is in the OFF position by rotating the knob until it clicks off.
- Connect the cable from the external power supply to the A2+ left speaker rear panel.
- Connect the AC power cord to the other end of the power supply and plug the cord into a functioning power outlet. A light on the power supply should be illuminated.
Wireless connection
- Turn power on via the rear panel volume/power knob. A2+ Wireless will automatically go into Bluetooth “pair mode,” and the Pair button on the rear panel will start flashing.
- On your device (phone, tablet, computer, etc), turn on Bluetooth and go to Bluetooth preferences.
- Select “Audioengine A2+* to pair and connect. The Pair indicator light on the A2+ rear panel should now be on solid.
- Play your music and adjust volume levels for A2+ and your device.
- To add additional devices, put A2+ back into pair mode by disconnecting A2+ from your device or by pressing the Pair button on the
- A2+ rear panel for about 3 seconds until the pair indicator light starts flashing. Repeat steps 2-4 to connect another device.
- A2+ can wirelessly connect to only one device at a time, however, it will pair and remember up to six different devices.
Wired connection
- Connect an audio cable between your device and one of the inputs on the A2+ rear panel.
- Play music and adjust the volume on the speakers and your device to your desired listening levels.
USB audio connection
- Connect the included USB cable between your computer and the USB input on the rear panel of the left-powered speaker.
- If using Windows, the A2+ should be recognized automatically. For MacOS, under System Preferences/Sound/Output, select “Audioengine A2+*.
Inputs and volume settings
- Multiple devices may be connected to the speakers at the same time, and all inputs are open and active so it’s easy to switch between
your tablet, phone, TV, or any other device. - To adjust the volume, we recommend you first set a level on A2+ and then use the volume control on your device to adjust the overall
level. Volume settings are flexible, and there is no right or wrong so feel free to experiment to find what works for you. - For specifications and other product info, go to: http://audioengine.com
Contact support
- If you have any questions, please contact our customer support team: support@audioengineusa.com
Break-in period
- Your speakers will sound great out of the box and will get better over time. No need to do anything else but listen to them; however, we do recommend that you give them at least 40 to 50 hours of break-in time before doing any critical listening.
Cleaning
- We don’t recommend using any solvents or cleaners. Just wipe down the cabinets with a soft, dry cloth.
Other features
Variable audio output
- The A2+ Wireless Powered Speakers include a variable full-range preamp audio output so you can connect a subwoofer. You can also
stream music to other systems around your house by using our W3 wireless adapters. This output is adjustable so the volume level of this output can be controlled from the A2+ volume control.
Mounting options
- Threaded ¼* × 20 brass inserts are included on the bottom of each speaker cabinet to provide the ability to attach the speakers to the floor stands or wall mounts.
Speaker placement
- Although your A2+ Wireless speakers are very forgiving with regards to where you place them, it’s true that proper speaker location can have an impact on sound quality. Even though there are different theories on correct speaker placement, rooms and tastes are different, so it’s difficult to recommend a perfect setup. We do suggest you feel free to experiment to see what works for you.
- As a general rule of thumb, for the best soundstage and imaging. Tweeters should be at about eye-level in your most frequent listening location. For the best bass response, we recommend at least 6 inches of clearance between the rear of the speakers and the wall behind them.
- Here are a few more suggestions, assuming you have some flexibility regarding where you place your speakers. No need for concern if your listening space dictates the speakers’ position. Both speakers should be equal distance from your primary listening
