Replaces any RCA or mini-jack (3.5mm) audio cable
The Audioengine W 2 is designed to connect your i P o d
wi
relessly. You can think of A W 2 as a simple
replacement for any RCA or 3.5" mini-jack cable to or from
your iPod, Audioengine powered speakers, computer, TV,
sur
round-sound or stereo receiver, game console, network
musi
c player - or any other product where you want to
elimina
te audio cables.
The A W 2 consists of 2 units, the “SENDER” and the
“RECEIVE
R”. The A W 2 Sender transmits audio from your
iPod.
The other part of AW2, the
Re
ceiver, connects audio to any product which has
mini-jack or RCA audio input
s.
Power for the Receiver is provided from either a
US
B computer port, from the included USB AC power
adap
ter, or from any other AC charging adapter with a USB
connector (such as an iPod AC power charger, for example).
Another USB power source is in the Audioengine A5
powered speakers, which are equipped with a ComboPort
R
USB charger on the top of the left speaker.
The Sender and Receiver components look s i m i l a r , but
you can tell them apart by these markings, shown here:
The bottom of t h e A W 2 r e c e i v e r has an audio jack with a
symbol indicating whether the jack is an input or output:
Setup is really simple. The A W 2 Sender needs a n i P o d .
The AW2 Receiver
needs USB p
ower and a place to send the audio to, such
as
Audioengine A5 powered speakers or a surround sound
receiver.
There are many ways to use the A W 2 Premium Wireless iPod
Audio Adapter. Some possible configurations are listed here
and
a few specific examples are shown in the Configuration
se
ction. These are by no means all the possible uses - they
are just shown to give ideas for your own usage.
