Frequently Asked Questions - Airpulse A80 EDIFIER

How to connect my Airpulse A80 speakers to a PC?
Use the supplied USB cable (Type B) to connect the active speaker to your PC. First install the special 'A80 USB Driver' from www.airpulseaudio.com if you are on Windows. On Mac, no driver is needed. Then switch to USB mode via the remote or the VOLUME/INPUT button.
How to pair the speakers via Bluetooth?
Press the Bluetooth button (symbol §) on the remote or select Bluetooth mode via the VOLUME/INPUT button. The LED indicator shows '§'. Enable Bluetooth on your device (smartphone, tablet) and search for 'AIRPULSE A80'. If a PIN is requested, enter 'D000'. The effective range is 10 meters maximum.
What to do if I hear no sound?
Check that the speaker is turned on (main switch on the back) and the volume is not at minimum. Make sure the audio cables are properly connected and the selected audio source (AUX, PC, USB, etc.) matches the input used. Test with another source if possible.
How to adjust bass and treble?
On the rear panel of the active speaker, you will find two potentiometers: BASS (bass level) and TREBLE (treble level). Turn from '0' to the left to decrease, to the right to increase. Room acoustics affect the optimal setting.
Can I connect a subwoofer?
Yes, use an RCA audio cable (not included) connected to the SUB OUT output on the back of the active speaker. Connect the other end to the subwoofer input. The output delivers a signal variable with the main volume (max 1200 mV).
How to clean the speakers?
Use only a soft dry cloth to wipe the surface. Never use chemical solvents, alcohol, or abrasive products. Make sure no liquid enters the speaker.
What to do if the remote stops working?
Check the button cell battery (CR2032); replace if necessary (battery life approx. 6 months). Point the remote at the infrared sensor (LED window) within a 30° angle and distance less than 7 meters. If the problem persists, try resetting the speaker by unplugging the power for a few seconds.
How to use the optical source?
Connect an optical cable (supplied) between the optical output of your source (TV, set-top box) and the OPTICAL input of the active speaker. Select OPT mode via the remote or the VOLUME/INPUT button. The speaker accepts PCM signals 44.1/48/96/192 kHz. If the source is in Dolby format, set it to PCM.
What to do if the USB connection does not work under Windows?
Make sure you have installed the 'A80 USB Driver' from the AIRPULSE website. After installation, restart your PC. Select USB mode on the speaker. In Windows Control Panel, go to Sound > Playback and set 'XMOS USB Audio' as the default device. If the speaker was disconnected or the mode changed, restart the PC to restore the connection.
Are the speakers compatible with Mac operating systems?
Yes, under macOS, no driver is necessary. Connect the USB cable, select USB mode on the speaker, then go to System Preferences > Sound > Output and choose 'AIRPULSE A80'. Sampling frequencies up to 192 kHz are supported.
