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, ferrofluid-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 aramid   fiber woven glass composite with rubber surrounds. Aramid fiber 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 are not 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 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.
