Audioengine HD6 Powered Speaker Preview

Easy to set up, simple to use, and designed for the way people listen to music today – The motto for the Audioengine’s new HD6 Premium powered speakers couldn't have been clearer as they were unveiled at the 2016 CES Show in Las Vegas. We got a chance to hear them on the floor and were impressed with their full range of sound, versatility and build quality.  The HD6 features built-in amplifiers that really pack a punch as well as analog and digital inputs including aptX, Bluetooth, and optical.

The availability of streaming and input options from the HD6’s was outstanding including: Stream TIDAL, Spotify, Pandora, YouTube - or any streaming service or media player. You can also stream wirelessly from your smartphone, tablet or computer. For the highest resolution the HD6 offers an optical input, which is perfect for network music players or even your TV system, turntable or subwoofer. Now that’s versatile!

We also really liked the look of the HD6’s. The speakers come with a furniture-grade wood veneer and are available in satin black, walnut and cherry wood finishes at no additional cost. The HD6 speaker cabinets are a new design that are not only good looking, but the thicker and more stable materials help reduce unwanted resonances. The detachable magnetic grills had a solid grip and made it easy to detach and reattach the grills.

Setup for these would be a snap.  Simply plug the left speaker into a power outlet and connect the included speaker wire from the left to the right passive speaker. All internal components of the HD6 are designed and tuned together.

Audioengine really put some thought behind the new designed build quality of these speakers. The all-new woofers have diecast aluminum frames allowing the lower-end to really perform. Also new are the silk dome tweeters which have been upgraded for smooth, more extended highs, and great imaging.
