Compact Size & Monster Sound

Not satisfied with inadequate power and inferior audio quality, but want compact powered speakers? The Audio Engine 5 active speakers are like having a full size speaker system in bookshelf enclosures.

The active design with built in power amps and subwoofer ports delivers excellent dynamic range and powerful bass without the need for an external subwoofer speaker. Astoundingly clean and crisp audio reproduction accompanied by deep and resonant bass make the Audio Engine 5 powered speakers a superior choice.

iPod Charging Station

Offering complete flexibility the Audio Engine 5 provides a dedicated iPod power point (USB) and audio input conveniently located on the top of one speaker - compatible with Nano and Video iPods or any other device that charges via USB and can be connected to the 3.5mm analogue audio input.

Connectivity

Ingeniously the back panel has an AC power point (US or European plug) to supply power for an Apple Airport Express or any other nearby A/V equipment or portable devices. An additional 3.5mm analogue audio input is provided on the back panel for connection to a second audio input source. For serious bass heads there's also a sub woofer phono (RCA) output for connection to an external amplifier and sub woofer.

Stylish & Compact Design

The Audio Engine 5 speakers look great anywhere in the house with a modern high gloss furniture grade finish. Their compact size allows the two speakers to be conveniently placed for the best sound coverage.
