Audioengine W3 Wireless adaptor

Audioengine W3 (W3) Premium Wireless Audio Adapter is an updated and improved version of the original Audioengine W1 and allows you to play your music wirelessly from your computer or any audio device to your powered speakers, hi-fi amplifier, or powered subwoofer. W3 provides CD-quality stereo sound with the ability to broadcast to multiple Receivers with no reduction in audio quality.

In contrast to many wireless audio kits, we found the W1 one of the best for sound quality and not dropping the wireless signal. In improving on the W1, the W3 sets a new level of quality and ease-of-use for wireless audio. Even if you're not an audio enthusiast, Audioengine guarantee you will still hear a difference!

Functionality

The Audioengine W3 is designed to connect your audio components wirelessly. The W3 handles USB audio up to 16 bits/48KHz with no compression, as well as analog audio via a 3.5mm minijack.  Think of the W3 as a wireless 16-bit USB DAC as well as a wireless audio link.

The W3 consists of 2 parts, the "Transmitter" and "Receiver". The Transmitter sends audio from your computer through USB audio or from any product with 3.5mm mini-jack or RCA audio outputs. The other side of W3, the Receiver, delivers audio to any product with mini-jack or RCA audio connectors.

Power for the Sender and Receiver is provided from either a USB computer port, from the included power adapter, or from any other USB charger (such as an iPod charger, for example). Another power source is the Audioengine 5+ powered speakers, which are equipped with a USB power port on the rear panel.

Differences between W3 and W1

The main difference between W3 and the now-retired W1 is that while the W1 can only "hop" between multiple receivers, the W3 can transmit to up to 3 receivers simultaneously. In addition, the W3 provides greater resistance to interference from other Wi-Fi devices. 

Unwire your music

Hear all your music - no dropouts, static, or noise. Some pretty clever engineering means your music remains free from interference from wireless routers, cordless and mobile phones, microwave ovens, Bluetooth and WiFi devices. Wireless that works.

Easy Setup and Simple Operation

Bypass your computer's sound card or headphone jack and send wireless audio to any music system. W3 transmits all music file formats from any computer media player and can simultaneously transmit audio to up to 3 wireless receivers. The 100ft (30m) typical range, low latency, built-in DAC, and resistance to interference and dropouts makes W3 the best-sounding 16-bit wireless system available.
