And EngadgetHD too… though not a review…

Comment thread here pretty decent as well… fair and balanced folks. Although again, many of the negative experiences mentioned in the thread could have been addressed if they visit this comment thread. I’m also loving the shout-0uts for AudioEngine’s AW1. Which rocks in its own way.

Gizmodo offers a small stage for the Audioengine W1

» by mtc in: marketing, product reviews, wireless

While I know that everyone’s blog is just as accessible as another, these blog/media machines — like Gizmodo’s Gawker Media and Engadget’s Weblogs Inc. — just know how to attract the eyeballs. They’re undeniably centers of gravity when it comes to attracting the gadget lusty peanut gallery. I just wish they spelled “AvneraAudio” correctly.

That being said, it always makes me happy when I see one of the products we helped enable get a small stage on one of these geeky mega-venues. And what a product Audioengine crafted. This thing rocks.

All my shouting and banner waving about the “Swiss Army Knife of wireless audio gadgets” from the Alive Matters bleacher seats only gets the word out so far… but that’s not going to stop me.

Lots more to come. Stay tuned…

Audioengine launches the AW1, the Swiss Army Knife of wireless audio gadgets

» by mtc in: product reviews, wireless

Our good friends over at Audioengine announced their AW1 at CES last week. I’m really excited this device is out there finally, because it’s just a versatile little widget for whatever wireless audio links you can think of. Unlike any other product enabled by Avnera so far, the AW1 audio transmitter accepts both USB audio and headphone-level audio as inputs — making it work with almost all audio source devices.

As their packaging graphics show (below), there are many ways to apply the AW1.

One really important point I want to make is that there is no more pleasing application of the AW1 than (using it as the industrial design encourages) connecting PC audio up to Audioengine’s own A5, or newest A2 speakers.

Incidentally, the A5s are Avnera favorites, deployed widely across our office for various “listening” tasks. They look great, and sound unbelievable. Just check out the reviews their products get. I’m happy to know our wireless chipset met their high standards!

Enjoy…
