               Applicable to our A1, A2+Wireless, B2, A5+Wireless, and HD6 speaker models
Turn on the speakers using the power switch located on the rear panel. Â The speakers will automatically go into Bluetooth "pair mode" and the Pair button on the back panel should start flashing.
- On your source device (phone, tablet, laptop, etc), turn on Bluetooth and go to Bluetooth preferences.
- Select "Audioengine (your speaker model)" from the list of available devices to pair and connect. Â The Pair indicator on the back panel should now be solid. Play your music and adjust the volume levels on the speakers and your device.
To add additional devices put the speakers back into pair mode by disconnecting them from your device or by pressing and holding the Pair button until the pair indicator starts flashing.
Our speakers can wirelessly connect to only one device at a time, however it will remember up to six different devices.
Once you have set up your B2 speaker, turn it on using the volume knob on the rear panel. The speaker will automatically enter it's "pairing mode" when first turned on. The Bluetooth LED on the back of the speaker will blink during this time frame.
While the LED is flashing, go into your source device's Bluetooth menu and then search for nearby Bluetooth devices. Select the B2 from the list of nearby devices to pair and connect with the speakers. Once your source device has been paired with the speakers, the LED light on the back should remain solid and on.
At this point, select your favorite tunes and hit play! Keep in mind that you can adjust the volume by using your source device's volume control along with the volume knob on the back of the speakers. If the volume seems too low, check to make sure the volume is set to an appropriate level with both your source and the speakers.
If you'd like to switch to another Bluetooth source, either press and hold the LED button on the back of the B2 until it starts flashing OR go into the Bluetooth menu of your source device and disconnect from there. Once the LED on the B2 begins to flash again, you can pair a new Bluetooth source to the speakers.
Once you have set up your HD4 speakers, turn them on using the switch on the rear panel. The speakers will automatically enter their "pairing mode" when first turned on. The Bluetooth LED on the front of the powered speaker will blink during this time frame.

The short answer is 'yes'. However, you will need to use an app that gives you the ability to use Airplay while in Windows. Though there are a few options out there, we've found TuneBlade to be one of the more affordable and easy-to-use applications available. TuneBlade is a simple tray utility that lets you stream system-wide audio to the Al-MR from your Windows device. There’s a one-time fee of $9.99 to purchase the app, but they have a trial version you can try out for free.
To start, make sure your A1-MR is setup on the same network as your Windows device (PC/laptop). Once TuneBlade is installed, start the program. TuneBlade will automatically locate your A1-MR and any other Airplay-ready devices connected to your network.
Start playing the audio you wish to stream to your A1-MR(s). While the audio is playing, hit the 'play' button next to the corresponding A1-MR in the TuneBlade app. All audio coming from your computer will now be passed on to the B-Fi. While using TuneBlade, you can send the audio to multiple A1-MR's at once and the audio will automatically sync between A1-MR's without the need to group them in the Control App.
Things to keep in mind when using TuneBlade:
- If you have speakers directly connected to your computer, then turn them down (using the volume controls on the actual speaker) as there will be a slight buffering delay between the audio from your computer speakers and the speakers connected to your A1-MR(s).
- TuneBlade streams system-wide audio, so Windows notifications will be passed through when they occur.
- TuneBlade is a work-around we found offering Windows users the same streaming capabilities via Airplay that Apple users have.
If your A1-MR speakers sound distorted, are buzzing, or just don't sound quite right, we'd recommend the following troubleshooting steps:
If you haven’t already, power cycle your speakers by disconnecting them from AC power, and plugging them back in.
- Â Please make sure all of your connections are complete and all of your cables are in working order (you will want to swap out some cables to test for this). Make sure the speaker wire is connected according to proper polarity (Red to Gold, Black to Silver) on both ends.
- Â If your input source (your computer, phone, tablet, turntable, stereo receiver, etc) has its own EQ, please make sure the low end is at a moderate level, as having too much bass in your signal can cause the speakers to break up.
- Â Set the volume of the source to at least 70-80% and adjust your speaker volume accordingly. Low source volume can negatively affect the dynamic range.
- Â Please try using each input available (mini-jack as well as WiFi), one at a time, to see how the speakers react.
- Â If you are using any wireless devices, preamps, or external DACs in line with these speakers, please remove the wireless device from the application (temporarily) and connect the source directly to the speakers.
- Â Ensure the ports along the bottom front of the speaker are unimpeded.
- Â Try listening to at least one additional source to see if the problem follows.
- Make sure it is not a power issue by trying a power outlet that is on a different circuit.

If your A1 or A1-MR speakers sound distorted, are buzzing, or just don't sound quite right, we'd recommend the following troubleshooting steps:
Start with power cycling your speakers by turning them off and then back on. From there:
- Determine if the distortion is due to your source by disconnecting all source devices from the speakers.
- Please make sure all of your connector cables are in working order. Try different cables as well as a different source device.
- Please try using the stereo mini input and Bluetooth (or WiFi in the case of the A1-MR), one at a time, to see how the speakers react.
- Make sure it is not a power issue by trying a power outlet that is on a different circuit.

If your HD6 speakers sound distorted, are buzzing, or just don't sound quite right, we'd recommend the following troubleshooting steps:
If you haven’t already, power cycle your speakers by switching them off, and back on using the power switch on the rear panel.
- Â Please make sure all of your connections are complete and all of your cables are in working order (you will want to swap out some cables to test for this). Make sure the speaker wire is connected according to proper polarity (Red to Gold, Black to Silver) on both ends.
- Â If your input source (your computer, phone, tablet, turntable, stereo receiver, etc) has its own EQ, please make sure the low end is at a moderate level, as having too much bass in your signal can cause the speakers to break up.
- Â Set the volume of the source to at least 70-80% and adjust your speaker volume accordingly. Low source volume can negatively affect the dynamic range.
- Â Please try using each input available (mini-jack, RCA, optical, as well as Bluetooth), one at a time, to see how the speakers react. If the distortion is unique to one speaker, when testing via RCA switch the RCA jacks (red to white and white to red) to see if the issue remains in the same channel.
- Â If you are using any wireless devices, preamps, or external DACs in line with these speakers, please remove the wireless device from the application (temporarily) and connect the source directly to the speakers.
- Â Ensure that the rear of the speaker is spaced away from the wall by at least 6-8 inches, allowing the rear port to be left unimpeded.
- Â Try listening to at least one additional source to see if the problem follows.
- Â Make sure it is not a power issue by trying a power outlet that is on a different circuit.
