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.
The A5+s have two inputs, so having two sources plugged into them is perfectly fine. There isn’t any sort of auto switching mode built into the speakers so if you had both playing at the same time, both would be audible. The A2+s and HD3 also include a USB input; you should be able to […]
Though this isn’t a very common setup, from time-to-time customers want to use two S8s in their system. Each of our powered speakers (with the exception of the B2 and the 512) has an RCA output that you can use to connect a powered subwoofer, such as the S8. In a setup where you’re running […]
With the original A2s there are two ways to connect a powered subwoofer to them like the S8. The S8 has two inputs and an output, so you could send the audio signal into the subwoofer and then use the output to connect to the A2s. The other option would be to send the audio […]
Connecting to a stereo or surround-sound receiver As Audioengine powered speakers include built-in power amplifiers, connecting the speaker terminals from the speakers directly to the speaker outputs of a stereo receiver or power amplifier will cause damage. You can, however, connect your speakers to a stereo receiver via the “line-level” outputs (“preamp out” or a similar […]
Hooking up our powered speakers, such as the A2+ and A5+, to a television can depend what connections might be available on the TV for audio output. If your television has analog outputs (such as RCA or a headphone out) you can use that to connect directly into the back of the speakers using either […]
How you will need to connect your turntable to your Audioengine speakers mostly depends on the kind of turntable you have. Many modern turntables, such as the Audio Technica AT-LP120 and Music Hall USB-1, have a built-in preamp and include a switch on the back for “line” or “phono”; in order to use this kind […]
