Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of your Fluance product. We hope you enjoy your experience. If

you have any questions please visit us at www.Fluance.com/support.

Fluance believes everyone should experience audio in its truest form, recreating the

performance the way the artist intended. Utilizing only superior components and expert

audio engineering, their products are a testament to the performance that can be achieved

when a passion for music takes center stage. The perfect complement to any audiophile’s

lifestyle, you’ll be enjoying live performances in your home for years to come.

Break-in Period

Our speakers have a Butyl rubber ring surrounding the cone. The break-in period allows

the rubber to loosen and stretch, allowing the cone a larger range of movement, resulting

in better sound reproduction. We recommend 10-12 hours of play at moderate volume to

achieve this.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is there no sound from the Ai81 when connected to the Optical input?

Many digital audio sources feature Dolby Audio which is not supported by the Ai81. Ensure

your devices’ audio output is set to Stereo or PCM. See page 7 for more information.

What do I do if I hear screeching sounds on the Optical input?

This can occur if your TV’s audio output setting is on Dolby Audio or Surround Sound. Ensure

your devices’ audio output is set to Stereo or PCM. See page 7 for more information.

What do I do if audio is only coming from the active speaker?

The most common cause of no audio from one speaker is a poor connection. Ensure the metal

portion of the speaker wire is in direct contact with the binding posts.

What is “auto-pairing” and how does it work?

Auto-pairing is a convenient connection feature included in all Fluance Bluetooth® Speakers.

If the connected Bluetooth®-enabled device leaves the connection range of the Ai81 and

returns at a later time, the device will automatically connect. If the device’s Bluetooth®

function is disabled and then enabled at a later time, the device will automatically connect as

well.

*Note: The Fluance Ai81 will only auto-pair to the last device that it was connected to.

Subwoofer Output

IMPORTANT: When a subwoofer cable is connected, the Ai81 will automatically cut frequencies

below 80Hz to optimize performance. The subwoofer cable must be removed to resume full

frequency playback.

1. Connect the Subwoofer cable to your powered subwoofer.

2. Connect the other end of the Subwoofer cable to the back of the Active Speaker.

3. Adjust the volume on the Subwoofer for the best listening experience.

Fluance offers matching subwoofers for the ultimate audio experience. For more information

Frequently Asked Questions (Continued)

What do I do if my remote control is not working?

Replace the batteries in the remote with a new set. Ensure you are pointing the remote at the

IR sensor on the Active (right) Speaker and that nothing is blocking the sensor.

What is the range of my Bluetooth Connection?

The Fluance Ai81 operates with Power Class 2 Bluetooth devices, which have a range of

approximately 33 feet (line of sight). If you are experiencing Bluetooth connectivity issues it is

recommended to position the Ai81 away from sources of interference such as wireless routers

or microwaves.

Another Bluetooth device is connected to my Fluance Ai81 and I want to

connect my device.

You can reset any Bluetooth connection by pressing the Bluetooth Pairing Reset button on

the back of the Active Speaker. You can also press and hold “Play/Pause” on the Remote for 3

seconds.

How can I increase the volume when using the Ai81 with a turntable?

If turntable audio is too quiet you may need to add a preamplifier. Some turntables have built

in preamps which can be turned on or off. The Fluance PA10 preamplifier is a great match for

Fluance powered speakers and turntables.

Why is the volume from each input different on the Ai81?

Ensure that any normalization and EQ settings on your source devices are disabled. The

different signal types used by each input means they are processed differently by the Ai81.

The Optical Input uses a digital signal while the RCA Input uses an analog signal. These

differences can result in slight variances in the output volume of the Ai81.

Why are my speakers quiet when I stream music?

Confirm the volume on your source device is turned up. If the issue persists your device or

app may have volume limiting settings that are affecting the overall volume of your music. It is

recommended to disable any Volume/Audio Normalization settings on your device and app.

These settings can adjust the volume level of all audio and negatively affect the performance

of the speakers. Ensure these settings are disabled and that any EQ settings are set to flat.

What is the break-in period for Fluance speakers?

The break-in period for your Fluance Ai81 speakers is about 10 hours of playing time at normal

listening volumes. After this period, the drivers will have had enough movement to perform at

their peak level.
