What size bolt will fit the P4’s threaded inserts?
The threaded inserts found in the P4’s will accommodate a 1/4″ -20 threaded bolt. Be careful to not overtighten the bolt as you could damage the cabinet by doing so.
Support Type: Knowledge Base|Frequently Asked Questions
If I plug in headphones will the N22 mute my music playing through the speakers?
Yes, plugging in headphones will bypass the speaker output so audio will play through your headphones only.
Can I use the P4 passive speakers with the Audioengine S8 sub?
Yes! You would just need an amp, like our N22, to supply power to the P4 speakers and connect to the S8.
What surface should I put my S8 on?
We typically recommend using the S8 on a carpeted floor or with some padding under the feet if you have it on a hard floor, as you may notice unwanted noise and/or vibrations from the subwoofer feet on a hard surface at higher volumes. It’s worth noting that placing your S8 on a carpeted area […]
Can the S8 subwoofer be used with the A2 desktop speakers? I don’t see any audio outputs on the rear of the A2 speakers?
With the original A2s (not the A2+ model), there are two ways to connect a powered subwoofer to them. The S8 has two inputs and an output, so you could send the audio signal into the subwoofer from your source, and then use the output to connect to the A2s. The other option would be […]
Can the S8 subwoofer be made wireless?
Yes! If you already own an S8, you’d just need a wireless adapter like our W3. If you’re looking to buy an S8, consider getting our S8 Wireless that comes with the W3 included.
How do I control the volume of my S8 subwoofer? Do I have to reach behind the S8 each time I want to raise or lower the volume?
Most Audioengine powered speakers have variable RCA outputs for use with a subwoofer like the S8 (the exceptions being the B2 and the 512). This means that the output of the speakers and the RCA output will go up and down together. So once you dial in the volume of your S8, you should be […]
The P4 is rated at 4 ohms but my receiver has speaker outputs listed as 8 ohms. Will the P4’s work with my receiver?
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 […]
What amplifiers work best with the P4?
The P4 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. Check out our N22 amp for a great setup!
Why don’t the P4 speakers have built in amplifiers similar to the A2 and A5 active systems?
The P4 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.
