Cleaning
We don’t recommend using any solvents or cleaners on Audioengine
cabinets or speakers. Just wipe down with a soft, dry cloth.
Break-In Period
B2 sounds great right out of the box and will sound even better over
time. However, give it 40 to 50 hours break-in time before doing any
critical listening.
Troubleshooting Tips
B2 is connected but the Pair button does not light up.
Verify that the B2 is plugged into a functioning AC outlet.
