Inputs and volume settings
Multiple devices may be connected to the speakers at the same time and the wire less and aux in puts 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 AI-MR 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.

Break-in period
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 Audio engine 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 more 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 atleast4-6 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!
