Audioengine A5 Speaker System in Black [SS00003]

Audioengine 5 Description

Audioengine A5 Speaker System: Huge Sound, Small Size! Audioengine A5 is a full-size speaker system in a bookshelf-sized package. Internal power amps eliminate the need to connect the Audioengine A5 to a bulky stereo receiver or power amplifier. And with built-in subwoofer ports, the Audioengine A5 adds incredible low-end bass without the need for an external subwoofer.

Designed for optimal ease of setup and versatility, the Audioengine A5 has a built-in power port for iPod charging while listening to your music, watching movies, or playing games. Plug an Apple Universal Dock or iPod directly into the Audioengine Combo Port and you're ready to rock (or roll). The Combo Port charger is compatible with the nano and video iPod as well as all other products that charge via USB. (The USB port is for charging only, not for data transfer or music syncing.)

With an AC power jack in the rear panel, the Audioengine A5 provides the ability to stream music from your laptop directly to the speakers through Apple's Airport Express. The rear panel AC outlet is also ideal for providing power to other portable and home A/V equipment. A 2nd auxiliary mini-jack is located nearby for audio input from the Airport Express or other products. Also included are plenty of cables in a drawstring bag to connect all your gear.

Audioengine A5 uses audiophile quality, ferro-fluid cooled, 20mm silk dome tweeters with Neodymium magnets. Silk holds up well under high power and the edge-driven design gives very smooth response. The woofers are 5" Kevlar woven glass aramid composite. Kevlar is obviously very strong, which means that the woofer of the A5 retains its shape when being driven at high levels. Both drivers are directly shielded and allow the user to place the Audioengine speakers within a few inches of a video monitor.

Audioengine A5 - Simple, ear-pleasing quality for your digital music collection.
