About the Audioengine 5 (A5)

High-quality sound from a powered speaker system

Audioengine's A5 speakers are perfect for a small dedicated listening system. Connect your iPod®, computer, or another audio source and they'll deliver excellent results — an expansive soundstage that lets you imagine where the vocalist, guitar player, and drummer are positioned on stage.

Smart, stylish design

The A5's custom silk tweeters deliver smooth, open highs. Advanced Kevlar woofers provide tight, punchy mids and bass. The drivers are powered by no-nonsense built-in amplifiers. All components are housed in sturdy wood cabinets with a hand-polished finish.

Easy connections

Convenient connections built into the top of the left speaker make it easy to hook up a portable music player like an iPod or iPhone®. A USB power output lets you charge your player, and a minijack input accepts the audio signal from its headphone jack. Rear RCA and minijack inputs let you connect just about any other audio source. Both channels of amplification are built into the left speaker, so you just make a simple, secure connection between the left and right speakers using the gold-plated speaker terminals.

For a wireless connection to your iPod or MP3 player, check out AudioEngine's W1 wireless adapter and W2 adapter for iPod.

From the review Mighty speakers at work and at home: Audioengine A2 and A5

"As I auditioned more of my favorite songs, it was very apparent that the A5s not only pumped out the louder sounds like drum beats and lead guitar riffs well, but also accurately reproduced the little nuances in music like the breath of a singer or the sound of a guitar player sliding between notes."

— Tara, Crutchfield Video Producer and A/V Writer
