Setup in Less Time Than It Takes to Read This
A lot of audio equipment says it's "plug-and-play," but is it paired right out of the box? With the W3, the Sender unit automatically finds the Receiver unit, so you're ready to go as soon as everything's plugged in. Connect the W3 sender to any audio source, like your computer, TV, integrated amp, turntable, and more, then connect the W3 Receiver to any input on your stereo, powered speakers, or subwoofer and in seconds you’ve got wired-quality sound—without any of the wires.
Nothing Can Stop the Music with the W3
How can you get in a groove when the drrops have static, or noise? You can't. And, with the W3, you won't. Thanks to some very clever engineering, your music remains free from interference from Wi-Fi routers, phones, and other wireless devices.
Put the Boom Anywhere in the Room
If you own a subwoofer, like Audioengine's S6 Powered Subwoofer or S8 Powered Subwoofer, you know where you place it can make all the difference in the world. And if you're still wrestling with cables, well, that limits your choices. But with the W3, you have the freedom to plant your subwoofer where it sounds—and looks—best.
