4 Ways to Complete Your Soundstage – What Are You Missing?

With an Audioengine home music system, enthusiasts have a solid foundation for exceptional audio, right out of the box. However, to unlock the full depth of your music, integrating a subwoofer like the Audioengine S8 is essential. A subwoofer adds a new dimension to your music, especially in tracks rich in low-end frequencies. It enhances the depth and resonance of the bass, introducing you to an entirely new music experience, with bass that is reminiscent of your favorite live concert. The S8 offers 23hz – 38hz more audio you’re not going to hear without it.

Break Free from the Cords and Place Your Subwoofer Anywhere

Wires should never hold you back from placing your subwoofer exactly where you need it. So when you feel like moving your subwoofer somewhere else, the S8 lets you do that without getting tangled up in the electric spaghetti. Finally, it’s the clean and cable-free setup you always wanted.

The S8 Wireless Subwoofer: Less Is Much, Much More

The Audioengine S8 Wireless Sub works with any stereo receiver or powered speakers. And it comes equipped with our best-selling Audioengine W3 Wireless Adapter. The perfect fit for any speaker, anywhere.

Setup That Leaves You Plenty of Time to Get This Party Started Right

You should spend your time experiencing incredible bass, not setting up your subwoofer. Simply connect the wireless transmitter to an output on your stereo receiver or powered speakers. The wireless receiver plugs directly into the S8 subwoofer and before you know it, it’s time to rock.

Questions & answers about
the S8 Wireless Subwoofer (Open Box)

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.
S8 Size: What is the size of the S8?
- The S8 is 11.25″H x 11.25″W x 11.25″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.
Are Audioengine subwoofers magnetically shielded?
- Yes! All of our speakers and subwoofers are directly video shielded. They also allow the user to place the speakers or subwoofer within a few inches of a video monitor. In addition, this shielding offers protection for hard-drive digital music players.
What size are the screws used to secure S8 feet?
- M6 x 40mm, 6mm diameter pan head
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!
Some people want to upgrade the audio on their TV’s but aren’t necessarily interested in surround sound. Can I hook up Audioengine speakers to my TV instead of buying a surround sound system or soundbar?
- Audioengine speakers can be easily connected to your TV set as long as there are analog outputs available. Any of our speakers will provide a greatly enhanced TV audio experience with a wider soundstage and better imaging than most sound bars.
Connecting an S8 subwoofer to A2+/A5+
- Your A2+/A5+ have a variable RCA output located on the rear panel of the left speaker. This connection can be used to connect an S8 Powered Subwoofer (or any self-powered subwoofer) for extended bass response. You can also add a W3 Wireless Adapter to make this connection wireless as shown below.
