How do I turn on Airplay for use with the A1-MR?

You'll need to make sure you have gone through the initial set up process for the A1-MR before moving onto the below steps.

For iPhone users:

  1. On the iPhone, swipe to open the Control Center. (the swipe direction is dependent upon the iPhone model you are using)
  2. In the music control area, tap the AirPlay button.
  3. A list of AirPlay capable devices seen by your iPhone will be shown. Tap the A1-MR to connect to it.
  4. Once connected, you can use your iPhone to send audio to your A1-MR without the need to open the Audioengine Control App.

For Mac users:

Option 1:

  1. Make sure that your Mac and A1-MR are on the same Wi-Fi network.
  2. Go to Apple menu > System Preferences > Sound.
  3. Under Output, you should see a list of any devices you are able to AirPlay to, and the A1-MR should be an option. If you named the A1-MR during setup, it may appear under that name.

Option 2:

  1. Hold down the Option key on your keyboard, then click on the speaker icon in your menu bar. You will then see a list of audio output devices that are on your local network - select the A1-MR.
  2. Once you change the audio output to an AirPlay device, all audio coming from your Mac will go through the A1-MR, and not the internal speakers on your Mac.
  3. To change the audio output back to your Mac's internal speakers, you can either Option-click on the speaker icon again and select internal speakers, or go back into System Preferences and change it there.
