AudioEngine N22 Manual

Set the N22 amplifier on a solid surface and make sure there is plenty of ventilation and space around the amplifier
top and bottom. The integrated stand is not designed to be removed as the N22 uses a passive convection system
for heat dissipation. Keeping your N22 upright with the stand attached is important for optimal ventilation and to keep
your N22 running cool.
Step 2 – Connecting the Speaker Wire
The N22 is a stereo power amplifier that will power one pair of passive speakers between 4 and 8 ohms. To connect
N22 to your speakers you will need 2-conductor stranded speaker wire, which is included. The N22 uses high quality,
five-way gold plated binding posts that will accept heavy gauge bare wire, banana plugs, spade lugs, or pin
terminators. If you use your own speaker wire we recommend using at least 16 gauge wire and using the same
length of wire from the amplifier to each speaker. It’s also a good idea to turn off your amplifier before connecting
power, audio sources or speakers.
Preparing the Speaker Wire
1. Separate the last 3” of each speaker wire conductor.
2. Strip ½” of insulation from the end of each wire.
3. Twist the exposed copper strands with your fingers 3 or 4 times so the
strands stay together.
Note: As you make your connections, be sure to connect the positive (+) terminals on your amplifier to the positive
(+) terminals on your speakers. Even if your wire does not have (+) or (-) markings, most 2-conductor speaker wire
has printing on one side to help you differentiate between the wire pairs.
Using Bare Wire
1. Use your thumb and finger to unscrew the binding post connectors on the back of each speaker.
2. Insert each speaker wire into the holes on the side of the binding post connectors, observing proper polarity.
3. Retighten the binding posts with your fingers.
4. The stripped portion of the wire should be secured firmly in each connector.
5. Make sure that none of the speaker wire strands have come in contact with an adjoining terminal.
6. Repeat steps 1 and 5 to connect speaker wires to the amplifier.
