Unpacking
Your speakers were carefully tested and inspected before packaging and shipping. After unpacking please check for any damage. It is rare that any damage occurs during shipping, but if this does happen contact the shipper.

Wireless connection

  1. Connect the speaker wire from the left (powered) speaker to the right (passive) speaker.
  2. Connect the power cable to the A5+ rear panel and plug the other end into an AC power outlet.
  3. Connect the antenna to the A5+ rear panel.
  4. Turn on the power switch on the rear panel. The A5+ will go into wireless pair mode and the Pair button on the rear panel of the powered speaker will flash.
  5. On your device, turn on Bluetooth and go to Bluetooth preferences. Select “Audioengine 5+” to pair and connect. The Pair indicator on the A5+ rear panel should stop flashing and turn solid.
  6. Play your music and adjust volume levels on A5+ and your device.
  7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 to add additional devices. A5+ can connect only one device at a time, but it will remember up to six devices.

To disconnect from a paired device and put the speakers back into pair mode, either remove the speakers from your device or press and hold the Pair button on the rear panel until the indicator begins flashing.
Wired connection

  1. connect one of the included audio cables to your music player (phone, tablet, computer, TV, etc.) and the other end to an input on the A5+ rear panel.
  2. Play your music and adjust the volume on the speakers and your device to the desired listening levels.

Inputs and volume settings
Multiple sources and 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 the A5+ and then use the volume control directly 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 levels that work for you.
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. 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 output The A5+ includes a variable full-range preamp audio output so you can connect a subwoofer, other Audioengine powered speakers or an Audioengine wireless adapter to stream music to other systems around your house. This output is variable (adjustable) so the volume level of the output can be controlled from the A5+ front panel or remote control.

Stand mounting
Threaded 1/4″x 20 brass inserts are included on the bottom of each speaker cabinet to provide the ability to attach the speakers to floor stands. These inserts are not designed to support the full weight of the speakers and therefore should not be used with single-point wall or ceiling mounts.
It is the customer’s responsibility to check with the speaker stand manufacturer to determine whether that specific stand is capable of handling the weight and proportions of these speakers in a safe and stable manner. The customer is also responsible for the proper selection of mounting hardware not included with the speaker and for proper assembly. Audioengine disclaims any liability for the selection of suitable floor stands and/or correct hardware between the selected stand and these speakers.

Speaker Placement
Although your ASi- speakers are very forgiving with regard to placement, it’s true that proper speaker location can have an impact on sound quality. There seem to be different theories on correct speaker placement but 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, the speakers should be equidistant from side walls and a different distance from rear walls. Tweeters should be at about eye level in your most frequent listening location and 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 situation and listening environment dictate the speakers’ position.
Both speakers should be equidistant from your primary listening position.
Placing the speakers at least 6 feet (1.8m) apart usually provides the best imaging.
Try to keep the speakers near the front edge of shelves or cabinets.
Allow at least 6 inches of clearance between the rear of the speakers and the wall or surface behind them.
If you need to turn the speakers on their sides, position the tweeters toward the outside. If used on a desktop for computer speakers, it’s best if they are placed on a solid surface.
