3. The white light on the back will blink quickly for about
20 seconds, after which it will begin to pulse slowly.
4. The slowly pulsing light means your device is ready to
connect to your Wi-Fi network.
Note: if the Wi-Fi LED is not pulsing slowly, Press and hold
the Wi-Fi setup button (for 8 seconds), until you hear the
second tone.
5. Download the Polk Omni App from the Apple App Store or
Google Play Store.
6. Launch the app and follow the instructions.
Note: to enable Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) mode with a WPS
compatible router, press and hold the Wi-Fi button on the A1 for
4 seconds or until the first beep. Now push the WPS button on
your wireless router. The A1 will automatically connect to your
network without the need to enter your password.
Wired Ethernet Connection
A hard-wired Ethernet connection can provide a faster transfer rate
than a wireless connection. While Polk Omni Collection products
do not have a dedicated Ethernet port, they do have a USB Port.
Using an Ethernet adapter for a USB cable, you can connect your
products directly to your router.

Hooking Up Speakers to Your A1 Amplifier
Recommended Speaker Power Ratings
Your speakers should be rated to handle at least 50W for 8 Ohm
speakers, and at least 100W for 4 Ohm speakers. Do not connect
speakers rated at less than 4 Ohms to the Omni A1 amplifier.
If you’re using speaker wire only (no banana plugs), simply loosen
the binding post caps to uncover the connection hole.
Insert the stripped end of the speaker wire into the hole, then
tighten the cap securely. The bare wire should be held firmly in
the binding post.
If you’re using banana plugs, insert the plug into the back of the
binding post until a tight connection is made.
Note: Connect the red ( positive +) and black (negative -)
terminals from each speaker to the corresponding binding
posts on the A1, identified by a red ring (+) and a black ring (-)
respectively. Do not mismatch polarities, as this will result in weak,
distorted sound.
Connecting Your Turntable to the A1 Amplifier
When you connect your turntable to the A1 Amplifier, be sure and
connect the ground wire at the setscrew next to the Phono In jacks.
Connecting Your A1
Wi-Fi Setup
1. To ensure the easiest setup, place your A1 amp near your
internet-connected wireless router. Note, when setup is
complete, you can move your device anywhere you want to.
2. Connect the included power cable to the A1 and a power
outlet. The device will power on automatically.
