How to Clean Your Audioengine Home Music System
- 1. Turn Off and Unplug:
  - Make sure your system is turned off and unplugged.
  2. Dust the Surfaces:
  - Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust.
  - For hard-to-reach places, use a soft brush or a can of compressed air.
  3. Wipe Down the Exterior:
  - We do not recommend using any solvents
  - If cleaning off stains or build-up is necessary, we recommend doing so with a very small amount of mild cleaning solution applied only to the affected area, followed by quickly wiping the area dry completely.
  - Any scoured pads or objects like a ‘magic eraser’ too easily run the risk of removing sealers and top coats of the painted finish that can leave a clearly visible change in the uniformity of the paint/finish
  4. Clean the Speaker Grills:
  - The speaker grills can be gently cleaned with a vacuum, preferably using a soft bush attachment.
  - A lint roller can also be used.
  5. Clean Buttons and Knobs:
  - A dry cloth is recommend for cleaning any knobs, buttons or other surfaces
  - Be careful not to let water get into any gaps.
  6. Clean Ports and Connections:
  - Use compressed air to blow out dust from ports and connections.
  7. Let Everything Dry:
  - Make sure everything is completely dry before plugging back in and turning on.
  8. Regular Cleaning:
  - Dust your system regularly to keep it in good shape.
  By following these steps, you can keep your Audioengine system clean and working well.
B2 Size: What are the Dimensions of the B2?
- The Dimensions are 4.25”H x 12.25”W x 5.50”D
Can I use Audioengine speakers with an existing Sonos setup?
- Absolutely! You can connect any Audioengine speaker with an analog output to any Sonos product that has the Line-In feature. You can also connect any Audioengine passive speakers into an existing Sonos system using the Sonos Amp.
Can I connect Alexa to my wireless Audioengine speakers?
- Absolutely! To do so:
  - Open the Alexa App on your smartphone or tablet (Apple link | Google Play Link)
  - Tap the “Devices” icon and select the Echo/Alexa device you want to connect to speakers
  - Select “Bluetooth Devices”
  - Select “Pair New Device”
  - Find your Audioengine wireless speaker on the list of available Bluetooth devices, and select it
Are Audioengine products compatible with Bluetooth 5.0?
- Yes! We incorporate all the relevant functions and features from Bluetooth 5.0 that apply to our products! These features include; extended range, low latency (so that video and audio sync properly), as well as higher level aptX-HD, aptX, and AAC codecs (with the exception of our 512 portable speaker which supports SBC only). Keep in mind that the capability of the source is what controls the Bluetooth experience.
Can I use a Turntable with the B2? Will I need to purchase a phono preamp or can I simply connect the turntable directly to the B2 analog audio input?
- You can absolutely use a turntable with the B2. Some turntables will need a preamp before being connected and others are OK, therefore it is best to try your turntable without the preamp first to see how it operates.
Is the B2 compatible with TIDAL music streaming service?
- The short answer is yes! You can use TIDAL on any compatible source device (PC, Mac, iPhone Android, etc.). The B2 is compatible with most all of these devices as well since they almost universally also include Bluetooth.
Do Audioengine speakers have an auto-sleep, idle, or auto-power-off function? Can I leave them on all the time?
- Yes they do! They are equipped with a power-saving circuit that turns off the speaker’s final stage amp. This idle mode activates right after you stop playing music. Due to this power-saving function, it’s perfectly fine for the speakers to stay on all the time!
Will the B2’s wireless range work between more than one room inside my house?
- The overall range you can expect will vary depending on the device you use with the B2. We tested using mostly a variety of smartphones though, and found 30 to 40 feet to be a realistic expectation through one or two walls and 100ft or more in an open space.
Is the B2 designed only for use with Bluetooth devices?
- There is an auxiliary input on the rear panel so you can directly connect any product with an audio output.
Just how easy is it to set up the B2 Home Music System with Bluetooth?
- Our B2 is an all-in-one system with no extra components needed except your phone or computer. All you need to do is unpack the speakers, place them where you want, and then plug in the AC cord. Then connect your music source using the supplied cables – or go wireless with any Bluetooth enabled source device, like a computer, smartphone, or tablet. Here is a quick video that can be used as a reference: B2 Setup Video (Please note – there is no audio associated with the video.)
Can the B2 work in both 110-120v and 220-240v areas?
- Absolutely! The B2 can be used in either 110-120v or 220-240v areas without flipping any switches, modding your B2, or using a power converter. If you’re moving to an area with a different plug type than what came standard with your B2, we wouldn’t recommend using an adapter and would suggest trying to find another AC cord for your B2 that have the correct plugs. The B2 uses a non-polarized 2-pin IEC 320 C7 power cord, so you should be able to find one locally with the correct plug for your area.
