Introducing the Next Generation A2+ Home Music System: Now with 24-bit Audio, USB-C & aptX-HD Bluetooth
SHERMAN, TX – Jan 31, 2025


Audioengine is proud to announce the launch of the Next Generation A2+ Home Music System, now featuring Bluetooth 5.3, 24-bit audio, and USB-C connectivity. This new version marks a substantial enhancement in audio quality and convenience for our users, ensuring an even richer listening experience.

The Mission Behind Audioengine’s A2: Where It All Began
Audioengine rewrote the book on desktop audio in 2007 with the introduction of the A2. It was compact, measuring slightly taller than a modern iPhone, yet it delivered a sound so powerful it defied expectations. Before the A2, quality audio meant a pair of bookshelf speakers and a hefty stereo system. Desktop audio options that offered any comparison to stereo systems were nonexistent. The A2 started a revolution in the desktop and home audio space.
When we first designed the A2, it was more than just our second product—it was a promise to deliver your favorite songs exactly as the artist intended, right at your desk. Our goal was simple: to create desktop speakers so good that they’d inspire you to listen to music every day.
Backed by an avalanche of positive reviews and unsolicited industry praise, the A2 even appeared in scenes from ad campaigns for Google and Apple. The world clearly agreed that the A2 was more than a speaker; it became an essential part of music lovers' daily lives worldwide.
17 Years Later: The Best Desktop Speaker of 2024 with Over 10,000 Reviews!

Despite its 17th birthday being around the corner, the A2, now known as the A2+, continues to be a leader in desktop audio excellence. With over 300,000 units sold and more than 10,000 glowing reviews from music lovers, the A2+ remains at the top of several publications reviewing the best desktop speakers of 2024.

A2+ Home Music System: Now with 24-bit Audio and USB-C

The next generation A2+ Home Music System now includes 24-bit audio and Bluetooth 5.3 with aptX HD, providing an unprecedented level of detail and clarity. A CD quality audio file can represent 65,536 levels of sound, while a 24-bit file can represent over 16 million levels. This higher bit depth allows for more detail in both the quiet and loud parts of your music, resulting in a richer and more dynamic sound. The addition of USB-C connectivity makes it easier to connect to modern devices, enhancing the overall user experience.

Why 24-bit Audio?

The transition from 16-bit to 24-bit audio is like upgrading from standard definition to high definition in video. The higher bit depth provides more detail in both the quiet and loud parts of the music, resulting in a richer and more dynamic sound. Whether you are an audiophile or a casual listener, you will notice the enhanced clarity and depth in your favorite tracks.

Nate Rodriguez, CEO of Audioengine, states:
"Our goal is to continuously push the boundaries of audio quality and convenience for our customers. The next generation A2+ Home Music System with 24-bit audio and USB-C connectivity is a testament to our commitment to delivering superior sound and modern functionality."
