An Experience That Will Take You Far Beyond the Desktop

On one end of the spectrum, some speakers sound amazing but cost as much as all the bling in Australia. On the other, some speakers are reasonably priced but aren’t much better constructed than the box they came in. And in the center, there’s Audioengine.

We designed the A2+ Next Gen to exceed your expectations for sound while not exceeding the limits of your budget.

With bass you’d expect from a nightclub and a cabinet that fits both your desktop and your aesthetic, the A2+ Next Gen has found a middle ground that’s miles beyond the rest.

SMALL SPEAKERS, BIG SOUND

SURPRISINGLY LOUD

Don’t let their size fool you, as these little speakers are packed with much more sound than you would expect.

Clear, full, and powerful audio is ideal for your computer and smaller rooms. The A2+ Next Gen Wireless Computer Speakers are constructed with custom Audioengine components: aramid fibre woofers, silk tweeters, Premium Bluetooth aptX-HD, and built-in power amps wrapped in precision-tuned, hand-crafted cabinets.

Clear, full, and powerful audio that fills almost any room.

EPIC DESKTOP SETUP

THE MUST-HAVE DESKTOP EXPERIENCE

Everyone knows the difference between custom-built, small batch products and the general disappointment of mass-produced products. The A2+ Next Gen was designed and is hand-built with the goal of exceeding expectations of both value and performance.

The bass was teased from the A2+ Next Gen with some clever acoustic and electrical design without using any digital signal processing. To say the bass on the Audioengine 2+ is substantial for their size may be an understatement, but you be the judge. 

These small computer speakers really pack a punch, making them the go-to system for desktop setups and smaller-room audio.

Features
Cabinets

To minimize unwanted resonances and distortion, Audioengine cabinets have thick high-resin MDF walls with extensive internal bracing. Heavy internal sound-damping material is used to reduce unwanted sound reflections inside the cabinet. All cabinet edges are rounded which look great and reduce high-frequency diffraction effects on the front baffles. The A2+ Next Gen cabinet contains tuned, front-port slots.

Furniture Grade Finishes

The A2+ Next Gen cabinets are available in several handsome, high-gloss finishes, including black, white and red paint, offering a modern compliment to any small space or desktop.

Custom Components

Audioengine designs and manufactures our own tweeters, woofers, and other critical components. In other words, these are not “box built” speakers with off-the-shelf parts but custom-designed to our specifications. What we do not fabricate directly in our factory we have made to our designs (parts such as transformers, magnets, and wiring harnesses, for example). The cabinets, drivers, bass port designs, amplifiers, and crossovers are all painstakingly tuned together for each Audioengine model. This, in turn, makes for a much more efficient system that requires much less power than passive speakers and a separate integrated amplifier or similar A/V components.

Based On Studio Monitor Designs

Studio monitor speakers are used by producers and engineers in recording and production studios. They are designed with a theoretical flat frequency response which allows the engineer to create a final mix in such a way that the recorded music will sound good on most other speakers. Although Audioengine speakers are not designed to be up-close “nearfield” studio monitors, we do carry over much of the same higher-end technology, components, and design philosophy for all Audioengine speaker systems.

Efficient Integrated Design

The speaker cabinets, drivers, innovative bass port designs, amplifiers, and passive crossovers are all critically tuned together for each Audioengine model. This, in turn, makes for a much more efficient system that requires less power than passive speakers and a separate integrated amplifier or similar A/V components. We build all this goodness into the left speaker cabinet to make it super-easy to connect your smartphone, tablet, computer, TV, network player or any other audio product.

High-quality Bluetooth Audio

The Bluetooth built into the A2+ Next Gen Wireless speakers features aptX-HD coding which is an advanced Bluetooth audio codec with very impressive sound. And even if your phone or tablet does not have aptX-HD, the A2+ Next Gen  Bluetooth solution is backwards-compatible with aptX, AAC, SBC codecs, so you can wirelessly stream music from any Bluetooth-enabled device and still enjoy all your music. High-fidelity Bluetooth aptX-HD that really works and sounds great.

Extended-range wireless. Most Bluetooth implementations have very limited range, typically within just one room. But with careful signal management circuitry and antenna tuning, we offer a superior solution that has up to 3 times the range of standard Bluetooth for multi-room use, with no degradation in audio quality.

24 bit DAC
The A2+ Next Gen Bluetooth receiver utilizes the PCM 2704C DAC, known for extremely-low quantization noise in the audio band, with a built-in analog low-pass filter that removes the high-frequency components of the noise-shaping signal.

Amplifier Design

The amplifiers in powered Audioengine speakers are located in the left speaker and are a conservatively-rated class A/B analog monoblock design. This is a more traditional speaker/amplifier configuration which provides excellent quality audio and greater flexibility. All circuit boards for the power and preamp sections are vertically mounted for maximum mechanical shock protection.

Driver Designs

Audioengine uses audiophile-quality, ferrofluid-cooled silk dome tweeters with neodymium magnets. Silk tweeters hold up well under high power and the edge-driven design gives very smooth response. The woofers are aramid fiber woven glass composite with rubber surrounds. Aramid fiber is obviously very strong, which means the woofer retains its shape when being driven at high levels.

Shielding

Both drivers are directly video shielded and allow the user to place the speakers within a few inches of a video monitor. This shielding also offers protection for hard-drive digital music players.
