Support Type: Knowledge Base|Frequently Asked Questions
Does the W3 adapter work in a car and if it does, how so?
If you car has an auxiliary input on your car’s stereo system (either 1/8″ or RCA), then simply connect the W3 Receiver to a USB car power adapter and the audio output from the W3 Receiver to the audio input on your stereo system.
Why don’t the W3 Sender and Receiver include rechargeable batteries inside?
We considered adding batteries but decided not to as this was primarily designed as a wireless connection from your stereo receiver to a subwoofer or from a laptop to your stereo or powered speakers. There are, however, 3rd-party battery packs available and a quick Google search will turn up some inexpensive options that work great!
Why is only 1 AC power supply included with the W3?
We agonized whether or not to include 2 chargers in the box but figured that most people these days are very likely to have an extra USB charger or two from an old smartphone or tablet. These power supplies are inexpensive and can be found at your local Radio Shack or electronics store. We also […]
What is the latency (audio delay) of the W3 system?
The W3 latency is under 20ms so it’s perfect for using with video – home theater surround or basic 2-channel audio. Can I use the W3 for my podcasting studio? I want a wireless mic to my computer’s audio input? Sure, this is a great application for the W3. You can use the W3 to […]
What makes Audioengine wireless products better than other wireless systems?
The features that we feel make our system better than most wireless products currently on the market are the overall ease of setup, fixed low latency, audio quality, lack of dropouts, and high interference tolerance – all the good stuff that’s important for a wireless product to be of any real use.
What is the full frequency response of the W3 and what do the frequency numbers shown in the W3 Setup Guide mean?
The full frequency response is 15Hz to 22KHz, +/- 1.5db. The numbers shown in the W3 Setup Guide are measurement points and not related to the overall bandwidth of the system. There’s not need to show a spec for frequency range as the system transmits uncompressed PCM stereo audio (CD-quality) over using a protocol specifically […]
Can one W3 Sender transmit music to more than one wireless Receiver?
The W3 can transmit to up to 3 receivers simultaneously.
How do I use the W3 to get music to different stereo systems around my house?
To do this you would use multiple sets of the W3 to send wireless music throughout your house. We have customers that daisy-chain the W3 (and W2) together from the output of one audio system – your stereo or our powered speakers in the living room, for example – to another system in another part […]
I’m interested in the W3 wireless adapter and the A2 speakers to extend TV sound into another room. Can I do this?
Yes; you would need to connect the W3 Sender to the line-level outputs or headphone jack of the TV and the W3 Receiver to the analog input of the speakers. You’ll need a second USB power adapter or iPod charger for this application. These power supplies are inexpensive and can be found at your local […]
