Simplified Setup: Audioengine A1MR Studio Monitors
The Audioengine A1MR Studio Monitors offer two setup options depending on your needs:
- Wired Setup (2 minutes): For immediate use without streaming features, simply connect via the AUX/3.5mm jack and start podcasting, listening, or mixing audio right away—no app required. Important Note: When turning on the speaker, you'll hear one voice prompt; this will only happen once and won’t repeat until the speaker is turned off and back on.
OR
- Wifi Setup (8-15 minutes): To access multiroom and streaming features, download and follow the steps in the Audioengine app.
The Control App - Watch the videos below to see options you will get based on your type of smartphone. The Control app is used to connect the A1MR speakers to your home network. Plug in and turn on your speakers and follow the instructions below.

Step 1: Turn on power via the rear panel volume/power knob and set the volume to around 50% so you can hear the audio prompts during setup.
Step 2: The A1MR Status button will blink rapidly for 15 seconds, then a piano tone will play.
Step 3: The A1MR Status button will now blink more slowly and a voice will say: "Entering setup mode. Follow the instructions in the app to finish the setup." If no piano tone or voice is heard after 15 seconds, increase the A1MR volume level.
The A1MR will stay in setup mode (indicated by the slow-blinking Status button) for 5 minutes before timing out. To re-enter setup mode, press and hold the A1MR Status button for about 5 seconds until you hear the voice prompt again.
To go back into setup mode, press and hold the A1-MR Status button for about 5 seconds until you hear the voice prompt again.
Connecting A1-MR wirelessly to your internet router.
As device screens seem to constantly change with updates and not all Android menus are identical, the easiest way to get through this setup is to follow the instructions directly in the app and listen to the voice prompts.
During setup we recommend that your phone, A1-MR, and wireless internet router are within 15 feet of each other. You may need your wifi password if it’s not already saved on your device.
Step 4: Open the previously downloaded Audioengine app onto your iOS or Android device and select "OK" if you want the app to access your music library on your device.
Step 5: The app will say "Searching for Audioengine Wireless Hi-Fi System." Select "Add Device".
Step 6: Following the app instructions, select "Settings" to leave the app and go into your device’s wifi settings.
Step 7: Turn on your device’s wifi and select "Audioengine A1-MW" from your wifi list.
Step 8: The audio voice will respond "You are now connected to your speaker. Follow the instructions in the app to finish the setup."
Step 9: Go back into the Audioengine app.
Step 10: A1-MR works on 2.4G, so select 2.4G network from your wifi list and enter your internet router password if prompted to do so.
Step 11: The voice will then say "Connected to your wifi network." Select "Next".
Step 12: Rename A1-MR if you wish, then select the right arrow at the top of the screen.
Step 13: Swipe left 2 times to get to your music or exit the app and go to another player.
Having trouble? Try moving A1-MR and your device closer to your router. Restart your router, device, and A1-MR.
