Quick Setup
-
Connect the included speaker wire from the HD5 left (powered) speaker to the right (passive) speaker.
-
Connect the Bluetooth antenna to the HD5 rear panel.
-
Connect the AC power cord to the HD5 rear panel and plug the other end into a power outlet.
Wireless connection -
Turn on the HD5 power switch located on the rear panel. HD5 will automatically go into Bluetooth “pair mode” and the Pair button on the HD5 rear panel will flash.
-
On your device (phone, tablet, computer, etc), turn on Bluetooth and go to Bluetooth preferences.
-
Select “Audioengine HD5” to pair and connect. The Pair indicator on the HD5 rear panel should be solid.
-
Play your music and adjust volume levels on HD5 and your device.
To add additional devices put HD5 back into pair mode by disconnect- ing HD5 from your device or by pressing and holding the Pair button on the HD5 rear panel until the pair indicator starts flashing. HD5 can wirelessly connect to only one device at a time, however it will remember up to six different devices.
Wired connection -
Connect one of the included audio cables to your music source (phone, tablet, computer, TV, etc.) and the other end to an input on the HD5 rear panel.
-
Play your music and adjust the volume on the speakers and your device to the desired listening levels.
Optical input
The Toslink digital optical input on the HD5 rear panel can accept PCM stereo
streams from any optical source, such as a TV, computer, media server, or any
product with an optical output.
Variable audio output
HD5 includes a variable full-range preamp audio output so you can connect a
subwoofer, wireless adapter, or another music sytem. The HD5 output is
adjustable so the volume level can be controlled from the HD5 front panel or
remote control.
Inputs and volume settings
Multiple devices may be connected to the speakers at the same time and the
wireless and aux inputs are open and active, so it’s easy to switch between
your phone, tablet, computer, TV, etc.
HD5 includes built-in power amplifiers so do not connect the HD5 speaker
terminals directly to the speaker outputs of a stereo receiver or amplifier.
Break-in period
Your HD5 speakers will sound great right out of the box and will sound even
better over time. However, it’s best to give them 40 to 50 hours of “break-in
time” before doing any critical listening.
Cleaning
We don’t recommend using any solvents or cleaners on Audioengine cabinets or
speakers. Just wipe down with a soft, dry cloth.
Remote Control
Replacing the
battery
If the remote control isn’t working or is slow to respond, the battery may
need to be replaced.

This product contains a coin/button cell battery. If the coin/button cell
battery is swallowed it can cause severe internal burns and can lead to death.
Keep new and used batteries away from children. If the battery compartment
does not close securely, stop using the remote control.
