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 and settings 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 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 A5+ 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 add-on wireless adapters.
This output is variable (adjustable) so the volume level of the output
can be conveniently controlled from the A5+ front panel or remote
control.
Stand Mounting
Threaded ¼’ x 20 brass inserts are included on the bottom of each speaker cabinet to provide the ability to attach the
speakers to poor stands; however, 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.
Important safety note: 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 safe and stable
manner. The customer is also responsible for proper selection of mounting hardware not included with the speaker
and for the proper assembly. Audioengine disclaims any liability for the selection of suitable poor stands and/or
correct hardware between the selected stand and these speakers.
Speaker Placement
Although your A5+ 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 seem to be 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, 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
