Introduction Welcome to the Audioengine family and congratulations on your purchase of the Audioengine P4 Premium Passive Bookshelf Speakers! The Audioengine team is dedicated to bringing you the highest quality listening experience possible and the Audioengine P4 (AP4) speakers were designed with the same attention to detail and operational simplicity as other Audioengine products.
Unpacking Your Audioengine speakers were carefully tested and inspected before packaging and shipping. After unpacking please check for any damage. It is rare that any damage occurs during shipping, but if this does happen contact the shipping company immediately. We recommend that you keep the original carton and packing material.
:".II:Mtnglne t,,··7/"";"'i Speaker Placement Although the AP4's are very forgiving, it's true that proper speaker placement can have a big impact on sound quality. There seem to be quite a few theories on correct speaker placement but all rooms and tastes are different so it's impossible to recommend a perfect placement. We do suggest you feel free to experiment to see what works for you.
Wall or Ceiling Mounting If you plan to mount your speakers on a wall or ceiling, there are bracket systems available to accomplish this. Your AP4 speakers include two standard 3/8" threaded inserts on the rear panel and another identical insert on the bottom of each AP4 cabinet for attaching a speaker mount or bracket. We recommend using products by companies such as OmniMount or Sanus.
If you are Using Bare Wire CD Use your thumb and finger to unscrew the binding post connectors on the back of each speaker. @ Insert each speaker wire into the holes on the side of the binding post connectors, observing proper polarity. ® Retighten the binding posts with your fingers. @) The stripped portion of the wire should be secured firmly in each connector. ® Make sure that none of the speaker wire strands have come in contact with an adjoining terminal.
Operation Your AP4 speakers are perfect for digital hybrid amplifiers (Class-O, Class-T, etc.) as well as most stereo receivers, integrated amps, and tube amplifiers. The AP4 has a 4 ohm impedance rating but will generally sound great when connected to receivers or power amps with 8 ohm speaker outputs. The AP4 is designed to work with a wide range of listening levels, but every component has its limits and speaker damage most often occurs from sustained high volume levels in some or all frequencies.
Speaker Cleaning We don't recommend using any solvents or cleaners on Audioengine cabinets or speakers. Just wipe down with a soft, dry cloth. Audioengine P4 General Specifications Type: 2-way passive, front-ported design Sensitivity: 88dB (2.83v@lm) Frequency Response: 58Hz-22kHz Nominal Impedance: 40hms Crossover Frequency: 2.
