Audioengine B2 Bluetooth Speaker - Walnut

Audioengine B2 Bluetooth Speaker - Walnut

• Digital-to-Analog Converter Characteristics
  The B2 Bluetooth speaker system utilizes the TI PCM5102A DAC, which is regarded for its low noise and high fidelity. Due to the PCM5102A's high signal-to-noise specs, the digital signal is converted (upsampled) to 24-bits with the added benefit of triple redundancy power source conversion and filtering.
• Extended Wireless Range
  Some Bluetooth speakers have a limited range, usually within just one room. The B2 is engineered to reach other rooms in your home without sacrificing audio quality with careful signal management circuitry and antenna tuning.
• High-Quality Bluetooth Audio
  The B2 features aptX coding, an advanced Bluetooth audio codec designed to provide CD-like sound quality when used with compatible audio sources. The B2 is backwards-compatible with all previous Bluetooth implementations, so you can wirelessly stream music from a wide variety of Bluetooth-enabled audio sources.
• Custom-Built Audio Components
  Audioengine designs its own tweeters, woofers, and many other critical components. Components like toroidal transformers, magnets, and wiring harnesses that are not made in their factory are custom-made to their specifications. The cabinets, drivers, bass port designs, amplifiers, and crossovers are all tuned together for each Audioengine model.
• Based on Studio Monitor Designs
  Studio monitor speakers are used by producers and engineers in recording and production studios. They are designed with a theoretical flat frequency response that allows the engineer to create a final mix so that the recorded music will sound good on most other speakers. Although Audioengine speakers are not designed to be up-close "nearfield" studio monitors, Audioengine speakers employ similar high-end technology, components, and design philosophy.
• Power Amplifier
  The class-A/B amplifiers in Audioengine speaker systems are conservatively-rated analog designs. Each subsystem is tuned together for all models, providing an efficient system requiring less power than passive speakers and separate amplifiers. An auto-standby idle mode is also included to conserve power when you're not playing music.
