The Sound of Handcrafted Audio
Audioengine has built its reputation on the belief that great home sound comes from genuine craftsmanship. The A2+ Next Gen is the most compact member of the company’s lineup, bringing its hi-fi pedigree to a desktop system. A pair of Class AB power amplifiers delivers 15 watts per channel to custom 2.75-inch aramid-fiber woofers and 0.75-inch silk-dome tweeters, producing a clear, spacious sound that belies the speakers’ size. Wired and wireless sources are each handled with ease, featuring aptX-HD Bluetooth streaming and analog inputs for connecting a turntable and phono preamp, a tape deck, or a television with analog outs. Additionally, the A2+ Next Gen features a USB-C input and a built-in DAC that supports up to 24-bit high-resolution digital audio. A variable RCA output makes it simple to add a powered subwoofer down the road for low-end extension, and setup takes minutes with no network, password, or app required. Whether you’re an audio enthusiast, a gamer, or a vinyl devotee, the A2+ Next Gen is a genuine home music system designed to elevate the way you listen.

Compact speakers, serious build
Audioengine speakers are built from custom components chosen for how they sound, not for how cheaply they can be assembled. Aramid-fiber woofers deliver articulate, extended low end, while silk-dome tweeters keep the highs smooth and detailed. All are housed in precision-tuned, handbuilt wood cabinets that control resonance for clean output at any volume. It’s a compact system with the capacity to confidently deliver audio at all volume levels, which is exactly why Sweetwater’s home audio experts point listeners to Audioengine when they want real hi-fi performance from a speaker that won’t dominate a room. Available in a range of finishes to suit almost any space and style, these speakers are designed to look as refined as they sound. Handsome enough to leave out in the open, they earn their place on a shelf or a set of stands.
Analog at heart
At the core of every Audioengine system is an analog amplifier, and the A2+ Next Gen is no exception. The company believes analog isn’t outdated; it’s mature, a proven approach to reproducing music as authentically as possible. While many mass-produced speakers rely on digital amplification, Audioengine builds around traditional analog circuitry for a warmer, clearer sound with rich, natural bass. That philosophy runs through the whole system, pairing analog warmth with a clean, modern design. The result is a listening character that remains musical and easy on the ears through long sessions, whatever you happen to be playing.
Wireless made effortless
Streaming to the A2+ Next Gen is as simple as it gets. Extended-range aptX-HD Bluetooth delivers near-CD-quality audio from a phone, tablet, or computer and maintains a stable connection over greater distances than standard Bluetooth. There’s no network to join and no password to enter, so a new device starts playing within moments of pairing. No matter which app you favor, the A2+ Next Gen delivers a simple-to-navigate wireless setup, letting you get straight to the music.
