Step 3 – Connecting the Power Cord

1. Verify that the power switch on the left speaker rear panel is in the 

OFF position.

2. Confirm that the rear panel voltage selector switch is set to the 

proper voltage for your area.

3. Connect the power cord into the left speaker and the other end 

into an AC power outlet.

Note:

We recommend using a high-quality surge suppressor and/or AC line 

filter on all electronics equipment.

Using the appropriate audio cable (3.5” mini-jack and/or RCA cable), 

connect your audio source (computer, iPod, etc.) to the A5+ audio 

inputs.  One of each cable type is included.

Note:

 

Both audio inputs on the A5+ are active so two audio sources may be 

connected to the speakers at the same time without the need for an 

input switch.

1. Move the A5+ rear panel power switch to the ON position. The left 

speaker front panel power indicator should flash a few times then 

go solid.  

2. Turn on your audio input source and adjust the volume to the 

desired listening level.

3. Adjust the A5+ speaker volume level with the volume knob on the 

front panel or with the included remote control.

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, but give them at 

least 30 to 50 hours break-in time before doing any critical listening.

Cleaning

We don’t recommend using any solvents or cleaners on Audioengine 

cabinets or speakers. Just wipe down with a soft, dry cloth.
