Enjoy your audio from nearly any source with the solid carbonized bamboo Audioengine A5+ Wireless Bluetooth Speaker System. This system features Bluetooth with aptX HD technology for wireless connectivity, plus stereo RCA and 1/8" inputs for traditional wired devices. The A5+ Wireless has a 2-way design with a built-in 50W RMS per channel amplifier. Each speaker sports a 5" Kevlar woofer and a 0.75" silk dome tweeter, and the system includes an aluminum remote control.

Up to 50W RMS Output per Channel    Bluetooth with aptX HD Connectivity    5" Kevlar Woofers    50 Hz to 22 kHz Frequency Response    Stereo RCA & 1/8" Audio Inputs

The speaker cabinets, drivers, bass ports, amplifiers, and passive crossovers are all tuned together, helping to provide a more efficient speaker system that requires less power than passive speakers and a separate amplifier or similar component. With all the electronics built into the left speaker, it's simple to connect your favorite audio device.

The Bluetooth built into the A5+ Wireless features aptX HD coding for enhanced sound quality when paired with an aptX HD-enabled source device; it's also backward-compatible with the SBC and AAC codecs for universal Bluetooth compatibility. aptX HD also allows for a broader Bluetooth range—up to 100'—for multi-room use.

The A5+ Wireless uses the AKM AK4396A DAC for upsampling, helping to achieve a higher signal-to-noise ratio and a lower noise floor.

The amplifiers in the A5+ Wireless are located in the left speaker and features a Class-A/B analog monoblock design. This is engineered to provide enhanced audio quality and flexibility, and all the circuit boards for the power and preamp sections are vertically mounted for augmented mechanical shock protection.

The A5+ Wireless speakers use ferrofluid-cooled silk-dome tweeters with neodymium magnets. Silk tweeters are designed to hold up well under high power, and the edge-driven design helps provide a smooth response. The woofers are Kevlar woven-glass aramid composite with rubber surrounds. Kevlar helps the woofer retain its shape when being driven at high levels. The woofers are housed in cast-aluminum frames, which help provide high rigidity and high heat dispersion.

Power transformers are critical to audio performance, particularly in the low-end. The A5+ Wireless speakers use gapless-core toroidal transformers, which are designed with a tighter radiated magnetic field, translating to lower noise. They are lighter than the more common "EI" transformer and generate less heat.

Both of the A5+ Wireless speakers are magnetically shielded for safe placement near other electronics.

• RCA and 1/8" inputs for easy connection to a variety of audio sources, including a turntable or TV
• Variable RCA output for subwoofer connection
• 0.75" thick cabinets

Q: 1. Looking to put 2 of these on a shelf on my TV stand. The shelf is 8" high x 4ft wide x 1ft deep. The Audio Engine A2+ at 6" high x 4" wide x 5.25" depth Does BHPHOTO sell a very short speaker stand that I could use to decouple the speaker from the shelf, but still have it fit within the 8" high shelf? ...trying to reduce vibrations going thru the other devices on the tv stand & space is limited. cheers

A: We offer the Audioengine DS1 Desktop Stand for Small Speakers for this compatibility.

Q: 2. DO I NEED A BLUETOOTH ADAPTER IF i HAVE USB ON MY LAPTOP?

A: No adapter needed. In addition to the speaker's built in Bluetooth receiver, the Audioengine A2+ can be connected to a computer's USB A port with the supplied 4.9' asynchronous USB cable or to the computer's headphone jack with the supplied 4.9' mini-jack audio cable.

Q: 3. What is the difference between the A2+ model vs the A1 model?

A: The Audioengine A2+ Wireless Bluetooth Speaker System with S6 6" 210W Subwoofer Kit (Satin Black), BH # AUA2PBTBLKS6 (B&H Kit), offers the following differences over the A1speakers according to Audioengine: The A1 and A2+ are both premium powered stereo speakers, with high-quality aptX Bluetooth for quick and easy connection to any app or device. Modeled after the A2+, the A1 also boasts precision tuned, hand-crafted cabinets, uses the same silk dome tweeters and aramid fiber woofers, and features an aux audio input and subwoofer connection. Where the A1s differ, however, are in the types and styles of connections and the finish style of the cabinets. The A1 speakers use spring clips for the speaker wire connections rather than 5-way binding posts and, unlike the A2+, do not offer RCA or USB connection options. The A1 hand-finished cabinets feature vinyl exterior finish rather than the painted finish offered on the A2+.

Q: 4. How do this compare to 2 JBL xtreme paired together?

A: The Audioengine HD6 pair will blow away the JBL pair! The JBL Extreme's particular charms are that it is a portable bluetooth system, splash-proof, rugged and battery operated. Oh, and a pair of them would sound great but I recommend them on their own merits and not as a competitor for your affections withe the HD6.

Q: 5. Do they support Bluetooth?

A: The Audioengine A5+ does not support bluetooth. If you want to use them with bluetooth connectivity, then you will need a bluetooth receiver to connect to them like B&H # AUB1

Q: 6. Does this speaker have an energy saver that delays the startup of sound? I hope not...

A: Don't know of any delay. No energy saver . We usually select music after units are turned on. Awesome speakers. Placement important for maximum enjoyment.

Q: 7. working with limited space, 8" shelf but has 12" depth & 4ft width. can these speakers be placed on their side and still work good? also does it come with anything to decouple the speakers from a tv stand/shelf?

A: It is not recommended but sure you can do that and they will still work good. The A5+ does not come with any attachments for a stand, they are made to sit on any flat surface.

Q: 8. is there a material i could use to increase separation between the speakers and my tempered glass tv stand? trying to minimize vibrations. using the audio engine ds1 speaker stands ( B&H#AUADS1 ) and they work well. just looking to add an additional thin pad underneath to absorb a little more vibration

A: I recommend considering the Audioengine DS1 stands BH #AUADS1

Q: 9. I was wondering how you switch sources on these speakers. Or as suggested in the reviews, can you really leave multiple sources plugged in and the speakers just automatically play whatever they're receiving a signal from?

A: No switches necessary. Whatever connected device is playing will be played by the speakers.

Q: 10. Are the HD6's magnetically shielded?

A: No. Not necessary when placed next to flat panel monitors or televisions.
