This may be because the audio outputs on your television are fixed instead of variable. It may be worth checking your television’s sound settings and see if you can toggle the outputs between variable and fixed. If you’re connecting your television to the HD6s or D1 optically, the optical output on your TV would be […]
Speaker placement can also play a big role in what sound you get. If you feel like it sounds “boomy,” one thing we’d recommend is to try and keep as much room as possible between the back of the speakers and any walls as you can. When setting up your speakers in a tight space, […]
You shouldn’t have any problems using the Airport Express with our speakers. The Airport Express has an analog audio connection that can be plugged in to any of our speakers; all you should need is to set the Airport Express up to use Airplay with your Apple devices and use a mini-stereo cable to go […]
Both the A5+ and the HD6 are not officially supported by any universal remotes. It is possible to use a third party remote, but that remote needs to support IR learning. This is a feature that allows a universal remote to learn commands directly from the remote we supply. The Logitech Harmony remote, for example, […]
You are able to use banana plugs with our speakers just fine! Speakers like our A5+s and A2+s use full size 5-way binding post, and are compatible with standard single and dual banana plugs. Most standard banana plugs should be around 4mm in diameter.With the smaller posts, like on the original A2s and A5s, we […]
We don’t really have any recommended settings when using a subwoofer. The crossover will depend on the individual size and shape of the room, placement of the sub in that room, and even personal preference. I usually recommend starting with the Crossover all the way counter clockwise. Get the Volume close to where you think […]
You wouldn’t be able to use a pair of headphones directly with speakers like our A2+, A5+, and HD6; in order to use headphones with them, you would need to include something with a dedicated headphone amp, such as our D1. All you would need to do is plug the D1 into your computer (either […]
Using a subwoofer like this with your Audioengine powered speakers should work well. We generally wouldn’t recommend the use of a splitter in reverse; it’s possible it may work fine, but this can introduce unwanted noise. In a case like this, you can simply use one of the RCA output connections, either the left or […]
It’s perfectly fine to swap the left and right speakers if having them that way works better for you. It wouldn’t affect the sound quality; it would only affect the stereo image (the left channel being on the right and vice versa), which you can easily fix by using an RCA cable and switch the […]
It shouldn’t be a problem having your speakers laying sideways. If you do use them this way, we typically suggest using a protective padding similar to the bottom padding on the speakers on the side to help dampen vibrations and protect the surfaces.
