Setup and Operation Step 2 - Connecting the Speaker Wire Step 1 - Speaker Placement The Audioengine 5+ speakers have amplifiers built into the left cabinet and the included speaker wire is used to connect both speakers to each other. The A5+ uses high quality, five-way gold plated binding posts that will accept heavy gauge bare wire, banana plugs, spade lugs, or pin terminators.
Setup and Operation (cont’d) Step 4 – Connecting Audio Cables Step 3 – Connecting the Power Cord 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. 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.
Troubleshooting Other Features Variable Output The A5+ includes a variable preamp audio output so you can connect a subwoofer, other Audioengine powered speakers, or an Audioengine wireless adapter to daisy-chain music to other systems around the house. This output is variable (adjustable) so the volume level can be controlled from the A5+ front panel or remote control. USB Power The USB port allows you to power and charge your iDevice (iPod, iPhone, iPad, etc.
Hum Adding a new component could bring out hum or buzz that may not have existed before. Your first assumption may be that something may be wrong with your new gear but this is generally caused by a “ground-loop” in your system. Consider these tips for possible solutions: • First try moving all components to the same electrical circuit or AC power outlet. • If the hum or buzz is still present, power off all gear and remove the mini-jack and/or RCA audio cables to and from the A5+.
