The most celebrated desktop speaker of all time.
A2+ has amassed a vast collection of awards from the likes of WIRED, Sound &
Vision, Gizmodo, The Absolute Sound, PCMag, and many others. What makes A2+ so
special? Find out for yourself.
The award-winning Audioengine 2 speakers just got better. With a built-in digital-to-analog converter (DAC), the Audioengine 2+ allows you to send high-quality digital audio direct from your computer’s USB port. We’ve also added an output to connect a subwoofer and you can even go wireless with the optional Audioengine W3 adapter. The Audioengine 2+ is a great introduction to high-quality audio and the perfect upgrade for your computer or phone and tablet.
UPGRADE YOUR AUDIO
The Audioengine 2+ is the new standard for computer audio and these small, but
high-performance speakers are the perfect upgrade for your computer. Everyone
knows the difference between custom-built, small batch products and the
disappointment of mass-produced and over-marketed products. The A2+ was designed
and hand-built with the goal of exceeding expectations of both value and
performance.
BROTHERLY LOVE
The Audioengine 2+ is about one-third the size of our flagship Audioengine 5+
powered speakers and an ideal size for your desktop or smaller room. We used the
same custom tweeters as in the Audioengine 5+, matched them with compact Kevlar
woofers, then added high-performance amplifiers with high-quality connectors.
All this great engineering is wrapped in wood cabinets with a hand-polished
finish to create a premium quality desktop multimedia speaker system that puts
all those sad plastic computer speakers to shame!
SMALLER SPEAKERS, STILL BIG BASS
To say that the bass on the Audioengine 2+ is substantial for their size may be
an understatement, but you should be the judge. The bass was teased from the A2+
with some clever acoustic and electrical design without using any digital signal
processing or fake bass boost circuits. Wood remains a preferred speaker
enclosure material for its stiffness at higher volume levels and the cabinet
focuses just the right amount of low end from the tuned front port slots.
VERSATILE AND EFFICIENT
The A2+ was designed for your desktop but their superb soundstage and imaging
also makes them the perfect choice for across the room. Well-suited for all your
music, movies and games, the A2+ sounds great with or without a subwoofer. Using
a similar analog design as the Audioengine 5+, the A2+ power amplifiers are
built inside the left speaker providing a very efficient system. An auto-standby
idle mode is also included to conserve power when you’re not
playing music.
EASY CONNECTIONS
The A2+ features analog amplifiers that are built into the left speaker, while
the right speaker is passive so setup is simple. Just plug the left speaker into
AC power and connect the included speaker wire from left to right. We’ve
included minijack, RCA, and USB inputs for easy connection to your computer or
phone and tablet and other cables you may need are included. There is no
software or plug-ins to install and A2+ works with any computer or music player.
The A2+ also has a variable RCA output for connecting a subwoofer, upgraded
connectors, improved accessory cables, and a redesigned power supply.
MINDING THE GAP
The Audioengine 2+ sets a new level of audio and aesthetic quality for Powered
Multimedia Speakers and further closes the gap between computer speakers and
home audio. Even if you’re not an audio enthusiast, we guarantee you will
still hear a difference!
