Audioengine W3 Wireless Audio Adapter Bundle
Enjoy wireless audio playback with the Audioengine W3 Wireless Audio Adapter Bundle . The included transmitter connects to nearly any audio source via USB or 1/8" and sends the signal via a dedicated Wi-Fi network to the included receiver up to 100' away, which connects to your receiver or other powered component via 1/8". It can transmit to up to three total receivers with no loss in quality; additional receivers are optional and available separately.
Wireless Audio Connectivity
The W3 wireless system is designed to transmit bit-perfect PCM stereo. Because the USB controller in the sender and the DAC in the receiver are segregated by the wireless subsystem, anomalies such as jitter, grounding, and induced cable noise are reduced. In addition, the W3 enables you to physically isolate a potentially noisy computer from the sensitive audio components in your system. The sender can also transmit to up to three receivers simultaneously, with the additional receivers sold separately.
TI CC8520 PurePath SoC
The W3 utilizes the TI CC8520 PurePath USB wireless system-on-a-chip (SoC) solution. The sender can be powered directly via the USB bus or from the included power adapter.
CS4344 DAC
The W3 receiver uses the CS4344 DAC (digital-to-analog converter) to help provide low noise and distortion.
Cut the Audio Cord
Enjoy wireless playback from nearly any audio device to nearly any component, including powered speakers, receivers, or a powered subwoofer. The W3 is designed to provide CD-quality audio wirelessly.
Interference-Free Design
Using its own Wi-Fi network, the W3 is engineered to provide interference-free audio without the dropouts, static, or noise that can be caused by your routers, phones, or other wireless devices.
Additional Features
- CS5343 ADC (analog-to-digital converter)
- 1V RMS output with a 470 Ohm impedance
- -65 dB crosstalk
- Up to 16-bit native input bit depth
