THE BRAND COLLECTION
Audioengine speakers and compact systems
A satisfying music system can begin with a manageable footprint. Audioengine develops compact speakers and audio components for the places people work, relax and listen every day.
A practical approach to home audio
Audioengine began in 2005 and develops home music systems, amplifiers and audio accessories. Its portfolio includes powered and passive speakers, subwoofers, wireless adapters, DACs and headphone amplification.
Powered speakers combine amplification with the loudspeaker system, reducing the need for a separate amplifier. Passive models use external amplification. Knowing which format you are considering prevents confusion when connecting sources.
Give a compact system room to work
A desktop system still benefits from considered placement. Think about speaker height, spacing, the listening distance and how much desk surface sits between you and the speakers. Keep the controls and connections accessible.
Then plan the source path: a computer, phone and turntable may need different inputs or additional equipment. Built-in digital and wireless facilities vary by model. Our services can help relate those connections to your room and the equipment you already own.

Questions before you listen
Do Audioengine powered speakers need a separate receiver?
Powered speaker systems include amplification, so a separate receiver is generally unnecessary for powering them. Source connections depend on the exact model.
Can I connect a turntable to Audioengine speakers?
The signal path needs a suitable phono stage, either built into the turntable or provided separately, and compatible speaker inputs.
Are all Audioengine speakers powered?
No. The company also offers passive speakers. Check the exact model’s amplification and connection requirements.
