There's no need to learn how to work a separate remote and the AW2 is easy to hook up, with no batteries needed, says Brady Bargenquast, Audioengine co-founder. The Audioengine W2 gives you the convenience of using your iPod as a remote control and is the perfect way to get great quality music wirelessly to your stereo, he adds.
In fact, Bargenquast says to think of the Audioengine W2 as a "dockless dock." With a wireless connection, it's pre-configured out of the box. The AW2 uses uncompressed CD-quality transmission technology with no network setup, software, or computer required.
The Wi-Fi-based wireless is an all-digital PCM encoded stream sent over a closed network that includes error correction and low latency. This means that your music gets to your stereo fast without any lag, loss in sound quality or interference, Bargenquast says.
