Unpacking Your Audioengine speakers were carefully tested and inspected before packaging and shipping. After unpacking please check for any damage. It is rare that any damage occurs during shipping, but if this does happen contact the shipping company immediately. We recommend that you keep the original carton and packing material. Speaker Placement Although the AP4’s are very forgiving, it’s true that proper speaker placement can have a big impact on sound quality.
Wall or Ceiling Mounting If you plan to mount your speakers on a wall or ceiling, there are bracket systems available to accomplish this. Your AP4 speakers include two standard 3⁄8” threaded inserts on the rear panel and another identical insert on the bottom of each AP4 cabinet for attaching a speaker mount or bracket. We recommend using products by companies such as OmniMount or Sanus.
Operation Your AP4 speakers are perfect for digital hybrid amplifiers (Class-D, Class-T, etc.) as well as most stereo receivers, integrated amps, and tube amplifiers. The AP4 has a 4 ohm impedance rating but will generally sound great when connected to receivers or power amps with 8 ohm speaker outputs. The AP4 is designed to work with a wide range of listening levels, but every component has its limits and speaker damage most often occurs from sustained high volume levels in some or all frequencies.
