Enjoy the Music - A5 Review
“At loud, but not stupid, volume levels the
Audioengine 5 have been the best performing powered
speakers system… All in all the Audioengine 5 is an
overachiever and delivers sound quality that belies the
small $349 price. If someone told me the Audioengine 5
were $1,500 I would have believed them!”
Audioengine 5 Features
Designed for optimal ease of setup and versatility, the Audioengine 5 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.
Internal power in the left speaker eliminates the need to connect Audioengine to a bulky stereo receiver. And setup is easy as we’ve included lots of really useful features, connections, and cables. In other words it’s time to sell that big old stereo receiver and those tower speakers and right-size your music with Audioengine.
Wireless ready! An AC power jack in the Audioengine 5 rear panel allow you to stream music from your Mac or PC directly to the speakers from Apple's Airport Express or with other wireless systems such as Sonos, Squeezebox, etc. The AC outlet is also ideal for powering other portable and home A/V equipment. A second auxiliary mini-jack is nearby for audio input from the Airport Express or other audio products.
