HI-FI YOUR WI-FI
THE ULTIMATE HOME AUDIO UPGRADE
Introducing Audioengine's new A1-MR, another game-changing design pushing the limits of what compact music systems can be. The A1-MR is the perfect upgrade built to bring out the best in all of your home audio and deliver high-fidelity, wireless music streaming anywhere you want to play.
Together with our companion app and your home network, the A1-MR creates a new way for you to discover and interact with the music you want to hear. Easily stream from any WiFi-connected device on any streaming app, and experience fully immersive, true stereo sound in any room. It’s the difference between listening to music and hearing ALL of it.
MAXIMUM SOUND, MINIMAL SPACE
BOLD SOUND THAT'S OUT OF SIGHT
Purpose-built for versatility, the A1-MR compact design does little to prepare listeners for such expansive soundstage and crystal-clear imaging. A simple, elegant design, the A1-MR takes up only inches of surface space, ensuring the only thing filling up your room is your next playlist.
YOUR MUSIC, YOUR WAY
SIMPLE SETUP, TOTAL CONTROL, EASY LISTENING
Download the free Audioengine Control app and connect to your home WiFi network using an iOS or Android phone or tablet. Then use the app to browse and instantly play high-quality music, podcasts and more from the included music players, directly from your music library, from Spotify Connect for premium members, or leave our app and play from any other player or streaming service via Airplay.
Stream in-app music services, including Amazon Music, Spotify, TIDAL, Qobuz, iHeartRadio, TuneIn, Napster and more, using your iOS or Android phone.
EXPAND YOUR LISTENING
ADD MULTIROOM SOUND AND STEREO PAIRING
Add additional A1-MR Speakers to rooms around your home for multiroom sound, stereo pairing, and multi-user capabilities.
Use the app to control your music from anywhere in your home and seamlessly jump between stations, playlists and services and play different songs in different rooms, or the same song in every room. All without missing a beat.

Sorry, Alexa and Siri, we’re in the business of listening to music, not listening in on your business.

Questions & Answers
-
Can a single A1-MR have multiple users?
Yes, anybody connected to the same network can control volume and the music source.
-
What’s the difference between the A1-MR and B-Fi?
The A1-MR is a powered speaker system with WiFi streaming built in. The B-Fi has access to the same streaming services, but it is an adapter designed to connect to an existing music system.
-
Is there a difference in sound quality between A1-MR and B-Fi?
Both systems receive the same high-fidelity streams from your favorite services. Since the B-Fi is designed to enable streaming on an existing music system, the sound quality will depend largely on that system.
-
What are the differences between A1-MR (Wi-Fi) and A1 (Bluetooth)?
- A1-MR uses your home WiFi network to stream music directly from the cloud or from an Apple Airplay source. A1 is a traditional Bluetooth speaker where music is streamed directly from your phone or other Bluetooth ready devices.
- Your phone, tablet or computer controls the music being played on both systems. However, since the A1-MR is connected to music services through the internet directly, once playing it will act like a traditional radio. This frees up your phone for calls and does not drain the battery.
- The A1-MR can be synchronized with other A1-MRs or the Audioengine B-Fi, creating a whole home solution with independent volume zones.
- A1-MR uses the Audioengine Control app for initial setup while no product app is required for A1.
-
Which has better sound, Audioengine Bluetooth or Wi-Fi?
Bluetooth uses “lossy compression”, meaning that some audio data is lost. In most cases, this is imperceptible. Depending on the music service, WiFi can deliver lossless CD quality audio to the A1-MR.
-
What music sources can be sent to more than one A1-MR simultaneously?
Sending music to multiple A1-MRs can be done with any source after grouping the systems together. Start by playing music on one through the app, Airplay, or Spotify Connect. Then in the app, drag any additional systems onto the system that is playing. They will synchronize and you will be able to control the volume of every system separately. The app will remember these settings until they are changed.
-
Can A1-MR play high resolution music?
The A1-MR supports lossless playback of CD quality audio, with zero compression. While you can play higher than CD quality audio to the A1-MR through DLNA, UPnP, or high res streaming apps like TIDAL and Qobuz, all audio is transmitted at 16-bit 44.1kHz.
-
Does the A1-MR support 5GHz network access points (wireless routers)?
The A1-MR is a 2.4GHz device but most networks are dual-band, so select 2.4GHz during A1-MR setup. 2.4GHz has more range, meaning more places you can place your system.
-
Can I play locally-stored music?
Yes. You can play music from your computer library or NAS.
-
Can I use A1-MR connected speakers, alongside Sonos speakers?
You will not be able to synchronize music between the two systems, but both will show up as playback devices in Airplay or Spotify Connect.
-
Can I use a hotspot as an access point?
Yes. If your hotspot is listed as a choice in Wi-Fi networks, you can use it as an access point.
-
If A1-MR is used outside the Audioengine app, will multiroom and stereo configurations follow to other music services and apps?
Yes, while streaming via Airplay or Spotify Connect (with a premium subscription).
-
How many rooms or zones are possible?
The Audioengine Control app supports a maximum of 12 rooms, however for most homes we recommend 8.
-
What is the wireless connection range for the A1-MR?
After setup you can stream your music anywhere within your WiFi network range.
