Using the W3 Wireless Audio Adapter couldn't be easier. Audioengine often calls it the Swiss Army knife of wireless solutions as there are so many different applications! The W3 is plug and play inexpensive has excellent range isn't dependent on a home network and has both an analog and digital input that will stream audio from just about any source (think turntable computer AV receiver) to any speaker component with RCA or mini-jack inputs not just Audioengine speakers (like a subwoofer)!

Features Functional Overview

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 3.5 mm 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 "Sender" and "Receiver". The Sender transmits audio from your computer through USB audio or from any product with 3.5 mm mini-jack or RCA audio outputs. The other side of W3 the Receiver connects 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 USB AC power adapter or from any other USB AC charger (such as an iPod charger for example).

Another USB power source is the Audioengine A5+ powered speakers which are equipped with a USB charger on rear of the left speaker.

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.

Advantages of wireless

The W3 wireless system transmits bit-perfect PCM-stereo simultaneously to up to 3 receivers.

Because the USB controller in the Sender and the DAC in the Receiver are segregated by the wireless subsystem various anomalies that plague many wired DACs such as jitter grounding and induced cable noise are greatly reduced. In addition the W3 allows the user to physically isolate a potentially noisy computer from the sensitive audio components in your system.
