help Audioengine A2 (Older Model) FAQ
Does the original Audioengine A2 have Bluetooth?
The older original A2 was primarily a wired powered desktop speaker, not the same as the newer A2+ Wireless. If you need Bluetooth, check for the A2+ Wireless model or add an external receiver like Audioengine's B1.
What inputs are on the older Audioengine A2?
The original A2 line is known for simple analog desktop connectivity such as 3.5 mm mini-jack and RCA input. The later A2+ added a USB DAC, which is one of the big practical differences for computer users.
Are the Audioengine A2 speakers enough without a subwoofer?
They are strong for near-field desk listening, but their small cabinets cannot produce deep bass like a larger bookshelf speaker or subwoofer system. Many users pair the A2 family with Audioengine's S8 subwoofer when they want more low-end weight.
Why do people still buy the older A2 instead of bigger speakers?
The A2's appeal is the small footprint: it fits desks where larger powered monitors like the Audioengine A5+ would dominate the space. It is best for close listening at a computer, not for filling a large living room.
