Overview

Quick setup

1. Connect the included speaker wire from your passive speakers to the N22, observing proper wire polarity to each speaker connector.
2. Verify that the volume/power knob on the rear panel of the left speaker is in the OFF position by rotating the knob until it clicks off.
3. Connect the AC power cable to the N22 rear panel and plug the other end of the cable into a functioning power outlet.

Wireless connection

1. Turn power on via the front panel volume/power knob.
   N22 will automatically go into Bluetooth "pair mode" and the Pair button on the rear panel will start flashing.
2. On your device (phone, tablet, computer, etc) turn on Bluetooth and go to Bluetooth preferences.
3. Select "Audioengine N22" to pair and connect. The Pair indicator light on the N22 front panel should now be on solid.
4. Play your music and adjust volume levels for N22 and your device.
5. To add additional devices put N22 back into pair mode by disconecting N22 from your device or by pressing the Pair button on the N22 front panel for about 3 seconds until the pair indicator light starts flashing. Repeat steps 2 & 3 to connect another device.
   N22 wirelessly connects to one device at a time, however it will pair and remember up to six different devices.

USB connection

1. Connect the included USB cable between your computer, phone, or tablet and the USB input on the rear panel of the N22.
2. If using Windows, N22 should be recognized automatically. For MacOS, under System Preferences/Sound/Output, select "Audioengine N22".

Inputs and volume settings
Multiple devices may be connected to the speakers at the same time and the wireless and aux inputs are open and active, so it's easy to switch between your phone, tablet, computer, TV, etc.
To adjust the volume, we recommend you first set a level on N22 and then use the volume control on your device to adjust the overall level. Volume settings are flexible and there is no right or wrong so feel free to experiment to find what works for you.

Variable audio output
N22 includes a variable full-range preamp audio output so you can connect a subwoofer, wireless adapter, or another music sytem. The N22 output is adjustable so the volume level can be controlled from the N22 front panel.
