The Audioengine B1 is a high-fidelity Bluetooth receiver designed for audiophiles and casual listeners alike who want to integrate wireless streaming into their existing home audio systems. It provides superior sound quality through advanced 32-bit audio processing and aptX Adaptive technology, effectively bridging the gap between mobile devices and traditional hi-fi gear. While it delivers exceptional audio clarity and impressive wireless range, it requires an external power source and is intended for use with systems that already possess an audio input.

No, the Audioengine B1 is a true plug-and-play device. It uses the native Bluetooth drivers already present on your computer, tablet, or smartphone.
The B1 can store multiple devices in its memory, but it will typically connect to one active device at a time for playback.
The B1 features a precision-tuned antenna that allows for a wireless range of up to 30 meters (approximately 100 feet), depending on environmental factors.
The B1 is a receiver, meaning it receives Bluetooth audio. It will work with your TV only if the TV is capable of transmitting Bluetooth audio to a receiver.
While the B1’s 32-bit DAC will process the audio signal with high precision, the ultimate sound quality is still dependent on the source file quality.
Disconnect the power adapter for 10 seconds and plug it back in; the unit will enter pairing mode automatically upon power-up.
Ensure the external antenna is positioned upright and that there are no large metal objects blocking the signal path to your source device.
Verify that your amplifier or powered speakers are set to the correct input channel corresponding to the B1 connection.
Setting up the B1 is straightforward. Begin by connecting the RCA or 3.5mm cable from the B1's rear output to your audio system’s input. Connect the included power adapter to the B1 and plug it into a wall outlet; the device will automatically enter pairing mode. On your playback device, search for "Audioengine B1" in your Bluetooth settings to complete the connection.
The B1 is compatible with any audio system featuring a standard analog input, such as integrated amplifiers, stereo receivers, or powered speakers. To care for your B1, keep it in a ventilated area to prevent overheating and avoid obstructing the external antenna. Clean the aluminum exterior with a soft, dry cloth; do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
