Introduction Welcome to the Audioengine family and congratulations on your purchase of the Audioengine N22 Premium Desktop Audio Amplifier! The Audioengine team is dedicated to bringing you the highest quality listening experience possible and the Audioengine N22 amplifier was designed with the same attention to detail and operational simplicity as other Audioengine products.
What's in the Box • N22 amplifier with integrated stand • N22 power supply • Detachable AC power cord • Ya" audio cable, 2 meters (--6.5 ft) • RCA audio cable, 1 meters (--3.28 ft) • Speaker wire (16AWG), 1.75 meters (--5.75 ft) • Cloth amplifier bag • Cloth power supply bag RCA Input 3.
Setup and Operation Step 1 - Placement 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.
Using Bare Wire CD Use your thumb and finger to unscrew the binding post connectors on the back of each speaker. @ Insert each speaker wire into the holes on the side of the binding post connectors, observing proper polarity. ® ® ® Retighten the binding posts with your fingers. The stripped portion of the wire should be secured firmly in each connector. Make sure that none of the speaker wire strands have come in contact with an adjoining terminal.

Connect the cable with the round end from the power supply to the N22 rear panel power connector. Note that this connector is "keyed" so line up the arrow on the cable end with the arrow on the rear panel.
Other Features Headphone Out - For headphone enthusiasts the N22 includes a highperformance, low-noise headphone amplifier which works well with all types of headphones. Even if you don't connect speakers to your N22 the headphone amplifier will make your iPod or computer sound better through headphones. Keep in mind that permanent hearing loss may occur if earbuds or headphones are used at high volume so be sure to set the volume to a safe level.
(i~ audioengine Cleaning We don't recommend using any solvents or cleaners on Audioengine amplifiers, cabinets, or speakers. Just wipe down with a soh, dry cloth. Troubleshooting •Check to see that the AC power cord is securely connected to the power supply and to an AC power outlet. •Check that the AC power outlet is supplying power. •Recheck speaker wire connections from the amplifier to each speaker. •Verify that the amplifier and your source components are turned on.
Hum Adding a new component such as your N22 amplifier can bring out hum or buzz that may not have existed before. Your first assumption may be that something is wrong with the component but this is generally caused by a "ground-loop" in your system. Consider these tips for possible solutions: • First try moving all components to the same electrical circuit or AC outlet.
