Your speakers will sound great out of the box and will get better over time. No need to do anything else but listen to
them, however, we do recommend that you give them at least 40 to 50 hours break-in time before doing any critical
listening.
Cleaning
We don’t recommend using any solvents or cleaners. Just wipe down the cabinets with a soft, dry cloth.
Speaker Placement
Although Audioengine speakers are very forgiving with regards to where you place them, it’s true that proper speaker
location can have an impact on sound quality. Even though there are different theories on correct speaker
placement, rooms and tastes are different so it’s difficult to recommend a perfect setup. We do suggest you feel free
to experiment to see what works for you.
Asa general rule of thumb for the best soundstage and imaging, tweeters should be at about eye-level in your most
frequent listening location.
Here are a few mom suggestions, assuming you have some flexibility regarding placement. No need for concern if
your listening space dictates the speakers position.
Both speakers should be equal distance from your primary listening position. Placing the speakers at least 45 feet
apart usually provides the best imaging and soundstage.
If you need to turn the speakers on their sides, position the tweeters toward the outside.
If used on a desktop for computer or multimedia speakers, the more solid the surface, the better your speakers will
sound!
