The D1 is a USB Plug-and-Play audio device. which means that the drivers it uses are developed and provided by the developer of your computer’s operating system. Because of this, you shouldn’t need to download or upgrade any drivers to use your D1.
There’s not really a right or wrong when it comes to volume settings. I’d recommend setting it up whichever way is more convenient, and dialing in a combination of settings to give you the smoothest ramp-up. If you intend to use the D1’s volume as your main control for example, try this: set the speakers […]
The N22 can work with the HDP6s, but we would recommend using the speakers with an amplifier that can provide more power to the speakers than the N22 can provide.
The HDP6 came about from requests from customers that already have our powered speakers and/or have a music system and needed speakers but wanted the same Audioengine sound from a passive speaker.
Yes! You would just need an amp to supply power to the HDP6 speakers and connect to the S8.
The lower the speaker impedance, the more current (amperage) your amp or receiver will need to provide, but most separate power amps have more than a sufficient power supply and power amp sections for driving 4 ohm loads with ease. In fact many amps will perform better with a 4 ohm load as opposed to […]
The HDP6 is a very efficient speaker and designed to work well with digital hybrid amplifiers (Class-D, Class-T, etc.) as well as most stereo receivers, integrated amps, tube amplifiers, and whole-house music systems such as the Sonos ZonePlayer 120. The HDP6s have an amplifier power rating of 10-150W per channel, so any amplifier that outputs […]
This is normal. The HD3 Next Gen’s USB interface can only accept a 16-bit format; however, the HD3 Next Gen’s DAC will automatically pad the bit depth to 24-bit internally during playback, for lower noise and better dynamic range.
If the left speaker is in an easy to reach location, you can certainly use the physical knob to set volume. If not though, you can set the HD3 Next Gen at a fixed volume and adjust from your source device. Around 50% is a good starting point, but you’ll need to experiment to find […]
Absolutely! This is especially useful for connecting wired with newer iPhones that do not have a headphone jack output. You will need to pick up the USB Camera Adapter from Apple, which allows a USB connection to the iPad (and, as of iOS7, the iPhone). Then just hook up as you would from a computer. […]
