Frequently Asked Questions
Can a single A1-MR have multiple users?
Yes, anybody connected to the same network can control volume and the music source.
What’s the difference between the A1-MR and B-Fi?
The A1-MR is a powered speaker system with WiFi streaming built in. The B-Fi has access to the same streaming services, but it is an adapter designed to connect to an existing music system.
Is there a difference in sound quality between A1-MR and B-Fi?
Both systems receive the same high-fidelity streams from your favorite services. Since the B-Fi is designed to enable streaming on an existing music system, the sound quality will depend largely on that system.
What are the differences between A1-MR (Wi-Fi) and A1 (Bluetooth)?
A1-MR uses your home WiFi network to stream music directly from the cloud or from an Apple Airplay source. A1 is a traditional Bluetooth speaker where music is streamed directly from your phone or other Bluetooth ready devices.
Your phone, tablet or computer controls the music being played on both systems. However, since the A1-MR is connected to music services through the internet directly, once playing it will act like a traditional radio. This frees up your phone for calls and does not drain the battery.
The A1-MR can be synchronized with other A1-MRs or the Audioengine B-Fi, creating a whole home solution with independent volume zones.
A1-MR uses the Audioengine Control app for initial setup while no product app is required for A1.
Which has better sound, Audioengine Bluetooth or Wi-Fi?
Bluetooth uses “lossy compression”, meaning that some audio data is lost. In most cases, this is imperceptible. Depending on the music service, WiFi can deliver lossless CD quality audio to the A1-MR.
What music sources can be sent to more than one A1-MR simultaneously?
Sending music to multiple A1-MRs can be done with any source after grouping the systems together. Start by playing music on one through the app, Airplay, or Spotify Connect. Then in the app, drag any additional systems onto the system that is playing. They will synchronize and you will be able to control the volume of every system separately. The app will remember these settings until they are changed.
Can A1-MR play high resolution music?
The A1-MR supports lossless playback of CD quality audio, with zero compression. While you can play higher than CD quality audio to the A1-MR through DLNA, UPnP, or high res streaming apps like TIDAL and Qobuz, all audio is transmitted at 16-bit 44.1kHz.
Does the A1-MR support 5GHz network access points (wireless routers)?
The A1-MR is a 2.4GHz device but most networks are dual-band, so select 2.4GHz during A1-MR setup. 2.4GHz has more range, meaning more places you can place your system.
Can I play locally-stored music?
Yes. You can play music from your computer library or NAS.
Can I use A1-MR connected speakers, alongside Sonos speakers?
You will not be able to synchronize music between the two systems, but both will show up as playback devices in Airplay or Spotify Connect.
Can I use a hotspot as an access point?
Yes. If your hotspot is listed as a choice in Wi-Fi networks, you can use it as an access point.
If A1-MR is used outside the Audioengine app, will multiroom and stereo configurations follow to other music services and apps?
Yes, while streaming via Airplay or Spotify Connect (with a premium subscription).
How many rooms or zones are possible?
The Audioengine Control app supports a maximum of 12 rooms, however for most homes we recommend 8.
What is the wireless connection range for the A1-MR?
After setup you can stream your music anywhere within your WiFi network range.
