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 the flagship Audioengine 5+ powered speakers and an ideal size for your desktop or smaller room. They 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. Audioengine has included minijack RCA and USB inputs for easy connection to your computer or iDevice and other cables you may need are included. There is no software or plug-ins to install and the 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 Audioengine guarantees you will still hear a difference!
