Frequently Asked Questions

Question:
Do A5+ Wireless speakers have an auto-sleep, idle, or auto-power-off function? And can I leave them on all the time?
Answer:
The A5+ Wireless have an idle mode which is engaged automatic when nothing is playing. The lights will remain on and solid and nothing needs to be done to resume audio playback. The sleep mode on the A5+ is manual and can be toggled on/off by pressing the volume knob in or by clicking the moon button on the A5+'s remote, so it won't go into sleep mode automatically. Sleep mode will just reduce the power more than idle mode. It is perfectly fine to leave your A5+s powered on when not in use!
Question:
Just how easy is it to set up the A5+ Wireless?
Answer:
Our powered speakers are an all-in-one solution with no extra amps or components needed! All you need to do is unpack the speakers, place them where you want, and then plug in the AC cord. Next, connect the included speaker wire from the active speaker to the right passive speaker. Then plug in your music (iPod, CD player, computer, etc.) with the supplied cables and you're ready to go.

Question:
What’s the difference between the A5+ Wireless and the A5+ Classic?
Answer:
The A5+ Wireless uses the same amplifier design and woofers that the A5+ Classic does, so both the A5+ Wireless and the A5+ Classic should sound virtually the same. The biggest difference between the two is the added Bluetooth receiver built into the A5+ Wireless; we’ve added a 24-bit DAC built inside that connects any bluetooth capable device (whether be your phone, tablet, or computer) to the speakers so you can stream high-quality music directly without having to use audio cables. The A5+ Wireless also features a minor cosmetic refresh; the most obvious of which includes centering the tweeters, as opposed to the offset tweeters featured on the A5+ Classic.

Question:
What if my source doesn't support aptX? Can I still use A5+ Wireless and if so, how will it sound?
Answer:
You can absolutely still use the A5+ Wireless and it will sound great. AptX is a high-quality Bluetooth audio codec that works really well. In addition to mandatory support for SBC, Bluetooth also includes optional support for many other codecs, like MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and AAC, all of which have their own advantages, and some of which sound very close to AptX.

Question:
Is the A5+ Wireless designed only for use with Bluetooth devices?
Answer:
There is an auxiliary input on the rear panel so you can directly connect any product with an audio output.

Question:
If A5+ Wireless is paired and connected to my phone, do I need to do anything else to play music?
Answer:
Once your A5+ Wireless is paired and connected then any app (iTunes, Amarra, etc.) - or online players such as Youtube - it will automatically play your music through Bluetooth.

Question:
Should I use the volume control on the front of the A5+ Wireless or can I adjust from system volume on my computer?
Answer:
If the left speaker is in an easy to reach location, you can certainly use the physical knob. If not though, we generally recommend setting the A5+ Wireless at around 50% and adjusting from your source device, or the remote provided with the A5+ Wireless.

Question:
Will my current universal remote work with my A5+ Wireless?
Answer:
The A5+ Wireless is not officially supported by any universal remotes. However, you can use a learning remote to copy the signals being sent by the A5+ Wireless's remote. Check with the manufacturer of your remote to find out if it supports learning IR codes.

Question:
Can you stream music wirelessly to the A5+ Wireless with the Audioengine wireless adapters like you can with the A5+ Classic?
Answer:
Yep, an AC wall outlet near the A5+ Wireless is all you need to power the AW3 wireless Receiver. Simple.

Question:
I'd like to connect an Apple Airport Express to my A5+ Wireless speakers to stream music from my Mac. I also wish to connect the speakers to my Samsung LCD TV. Is it possible to have simultaneous connections to the A5+ Wireless?
Answer:
Yes, there are 2 audio inputs on Audioengine powered speakers so connect the Airport Express to one input and the variable output from your TV into the other. Both inputs are "open" or active so you can leave 2 audio sources plugged in at the same time with no need to flip any switches.

Question:
If I have a subwoofer of my own, how would I use it with the A5+ Wireless?
Answer:
All you would need to do is connect the variable output of the A5+ Wireless into the input of your sub using RCA cables.

Question:
Can you stream music wirelessly to the A5+ Wireless with the Audioengine wireless adapters like you can with the A5+ Classic?
Answer:
Yep, an AC wall outlet near the A5+ Wireless is all you need to power the W3 or D2 wireless Receiver.

Question:
Can audio be played through the A5+ USB charge port?
Answer:
The USB port on Audioengine 5+ speakers was designed to be for power charging only, but don't despair - we've also included an audio input next to the USB port to plug your music into.

Question:
Do I need to install any special software apps or drivers for the A5+ Wireless?
Answer:
No extra software or drivers are needed. The A5+ Wireless is compatible with any device that supports Bluetooth, and the A2DP profile for streaming stereo audio. This includes most smartphones, tablets, and computers.

Question:
If I connect my turntable to the A5+ Wireless will it be necessary to purchase a phono preamp or can I simply connect the turntable directly to the A5+ Wireless input?
Answer:
Some turntables will need a preamp before being connected and others may have one built-in. With that in mind, it is best to check the turntable manufacturer’s website, the turntable’s user manual, or you can even try your turntable without the preamp first to see how it operates.

Question:
When I connect a turntable to my speakers, why is the volume so quiet?
Answer:
Some turntables do not have a built-in preamps and as a result you will need to add an external phono preamp between your turntable and the speakers. Many turntables, however, (such as the Music Hall USB-1 or Audio Technica AT-LP120) have a built-in preamp and include a switch on the back for "line" or “phono”. For Audioengine powered speakers select "line".

Question:
What does the indicator light on the A5+ Wireless rear panel mean?
Answer:
If it's on and solid, this means the A5+ Wireless is powered on, and currently connected to a Bluetooth-enabled device.
If your source is currently sending the A5+ Wireless an aptX signal, the LED indicator will illuminate orange instead of white.
If it's on and blinking, this means the A5+ Wireless is powered on but not currently connected to a device.
If it's off (and A5+ Wireless is powered on), this means Bluetooth is in standby and not connected to a device. The A5+ Wireless, however, is still visible to your device, so simply connect using your device and it will automatically wake up.
Question:
Can I use my computer speakers and the A5+ Wireless at the same time?
Answer:
If you have a Mac running Snow Leopard or later, you can create a multiple output device to accomplish this. See the link below for how-to instructions on Apple’s site: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5178

Question:
Is the A5+ Wireless compatible with TIDAL music streaming service?
Answer:
The short answer is yes! You can use TIDAL on any compatible source device (PC, Mac, iPhone Android, etc.). The A5+ Wireless is compatible with most all of these devices as well since they almost universally also include Bluetooth.

Question:
OK, so If I can use the A5+ Wireless with TIDAL, how come you're not listed on TIDALs website?
Answer:
From what we understand the devices listed on TIDAL’s website are network media servers with the TIDAL app already installed on their operating systems, that’s all. No difference in audio quality or anything else as compared to their downloadable app, just that TIDAL comes pre-installed on those devices. The only notable exception is that if you're listening to TIDAL on a computer, the only web browser that supports the full audio quality is Google Chrome.

Question:
Will my music have a delay through the A5+ Wireless if I’m watching a movie or music video?
Answer:
Bluetooth has a delay of about 30ms (milliseconds) so you can watch videos and stream audio without any noticeable lag.

Question:
When I connect a turntable to my A5+ Wireless, why is the volume extremely low?
Answer:
Some turntables do not have a built-in preamps and as a result you will need to add an external phono preamp between your turntable and the A5+ Wireless. Many turntables, however, (such as the Music Hall USB-1 or Audio Technica AT-LP120) have a built-in preamp and include a switch on the back for "line" or “phono”. For Audioengine powered speakers select "line".
