FAQs
Do I need a separate amplifier for these speakers?
No, the Audio Pro A28 W speakers are active speakers, meaning they have built-in amplifiers (dual 75W Class D amplifiers). You only need to connect them to a power source.
Can I connect a subwoofer?
Yes, the Audio Pro A28 W features a subwoofer output, allowing you to connect an external subwoofer for enhanced bass response.
How do I set up multiroom audio?
You can set up multiroom audio using the Audio Pro app. Ensure all compatible Audio Pro speakers are connected to the same WiFi network and grouped together within the app.
What is the range of the Bluetooth connection?
Bluetooth 4.2 typically provides a reliable connection within a range of approximately 10 meters (33 feet), though this can be affected by environmental factors and obstacles.
Are these speakers compatible with Apple HomeKit?
The Audio Pro A28 W supports Apple AirPlay 2, which allows for music streaming from Apple devices, but they are not directly HomeKit-enabled for smart home control.
How do I update the speaker firmware?
Firmware updates are typically managed through the Audio Pro control app. Ensure your speakers are connected to WiFi and follow any update prompts within the app.
What is the difference between HDMI ARC and a standard HDMI connection?
HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) allows audio to travel from your TV back to the speaker through the same HDMI cable used for video. This simplifies wiring and allows for TV remote control of volume.
Troubleshooting
Speakers not turning on
Ensure the AC power cable is securely connected to both the speaker and a working power outlet. Check if the power indicator light is illuminated.
No sound or intermittent sound
Verify the audio source is playing and the volume is turned up. Check that the correct input source is selected on the speaker or via the app. Ensure the speaker cable connecting the left and right units is securely attached at both ends.
WiFi connection issues
Restart your router and the speakers. Ensure the speakers are within range of your WiFi signal. Try connecting to a different WiFi band (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) if your router supports it. Re-run the WiFi setup through the Audio Pro app.
Bluetooth pairing failed
Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your source device. Turn off Bluetooth on other nearby devices that might be interfering. Reset the speaker's Bluetooth connection and try pairing again.
TV remote not controlling volume via HDMI ARC
Confirm that HDMI ARC is enabled on both your TV and the Audio Pro speakers (via the app). Ensure the HDMI cable is connected to the correct ARC-designated ports on both devices. Some TVs may require CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) to be enabled for ARC to function.
