CUSTOM BUILT

Audioengine designs and manufactures our own tweeters,
woofers, and other critical components. In other words, these are not “box
built” speakers with off-the-shelf parts but custom-designed to our
specifications. What we do not fabricate directly in our factory we have made
to our designs (parts such as transformers, magnets, and wiring harnesses,
for example). The cabinets, drivers, bass port designs, amplifiers, and
crossovers are all painstakingly tuned together for each Audioengine model.
This, in turn, makes for a much more efficient system that requires much less
power than passive speakers and a separate integrated amplifier or similar
A/V components.

DRIVERS

Audioengine uses audiophile-quality, ferro fluid cooled
silk dome tweeters with neodymium magnets. Silk tweeters hold up well under
high power and the edge-driven design gives very smooth response. The woofers
are Kevlar woven glass aramid composite with rubber surrounds. Kevlar is
obviously very strong, which means that the woofer retains its shape when
being driven at high levels. The speaker materials and construction are
robust enough to stand up to some serious thrashing, so speaker grills aren’t
needed and they will sound and look great after many years of use.

POWER AMPLIFIERS

The amplifiers in Audioengine speakers are located in the
left speaker and are a conservatively rated analog design. All components are
tuned together for each model, which provides a much more efficient system
requiring less power than passive speakers and separate amplifiers. Circuit
boards for the power and preamp sections are mounted for maximum mechanical
shock protection.

POWER TRANSFORMERS

Power transformers are a large contributor to the overall
audio performance, especially in the low end. Again, no off-the-shelf parts.
Audioengine uses gapless core toroidal transformers which have a tighter
radiated magnetic field, directly translating to lower noise. They are
lighter than standard, lower-cost “EI” transformers and also generate less
heat.

SHIELDING

Both drivers are directly video shielded and allow the
user to place the speakers within a few inches of a video monitor. This
shielding also offers protection for hard-drive digital music players.
