Audioengine 5 Bookshelf Speaker System
Finally, real speakers designed for portable audio players that deliver astonishing audiophile-quality sound (and don’t cost a fortune).
Huge Sound, Small
Size
Audioengine 5 is a full-size speaker system in a
bookshelf-sized package. Internal power amps eliminate the
need to connect the Audioengine 5 to a bulky stereo
receiver or power amplifier. And with built-in subwoofer
ports, the Audioengine 5 adds incredible low-end bass
without the need for an external subwoofer.
Built-in iPod
Charging
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.
Airport Express Power
With an AC power jack in the rear panel,
the Audioengine 5 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
(requires optional adaptor).
A 2nd auxiliary mini-jack is located nearby for audio input from the Airport Express or other products. We've also included plenty of cables in a draw-string bag to connect all your gear.
No Receiver? No Problem!
For listening to real stereo sound Audioengine is all you need. If you want awesome speakers for your portable music player, game console, TV or DVD player but don't want a bulky receiver/amp hogging up your space, the Audioengine 5 system does the job.
Perfect for all your music. Free cables and 3-year warranty. Awesome reviews!
Tasty Bass
Small Speakers, Big Bass. You won't hear any enhanced super-mega-hyper-monster boomy bass from these speakers. The low end from the Audioengine 5 is real bass, very near to originally-recorded music. From rap to classical to movies, you'll get tight, punchy bass with an awesome growl that will make you smile - regardless of the volume level.
Natural Mids and Dynamic Highs
The way Audioengine speakers duplicate a music soundstage is really cool. We had all these great adjectives written up to describe the midrange and highs (buzz phrases like "tonal accuracy with transparent clarity, excellent detail and harmonic correctness"), but they all just seemed overused and sort of lame. Our goal was to bring you the sound as it was originally mixed in the studio. Vocals are clearly placed and each instrument occupies its own space, making the speakers seem invisible to your ears. We feel that we've succeeded in our goal and hope you agree!
Brawn, Brains, and Beauty
Kevlar woofers for powerful bass, silk dome tweeters for smooth highs, built-in power amplifiers, truly useful connections, and a clean industrial design all allow the Audioengine 5 to integrate perfectly in your living room, bedroom, or desktop. Custom-designed and handcrafted wood cabinets with high-gloss professional piano finish make the Audioengine 5 a true work of art.
