Audioengine 512 Portable Bluetooth Speaker

Not Just Another Portable Speaker

The Audioengine 512 isn't just another portable speaker. The 512 has a warm and inspiring voice, surprising imaging, and a very large soundstage. It may sound strange to write about things like soundstage and imaging with a little 'mouse' of a speaker, but Audioengine wanted to bring something special to the portable speaker market. With the 512 the company definitely has succeeded.

Tight, firm bass, solid midrange, and clean, singing highs are what Audioengine worked for. As soon as you hear it, you'll agree the 512 is more than just the typical battery-powered speaker. It's an Audioengine speaker, and that makes it something really special and high performance.

Wireless That Really Works

The 512 Portable Speaker gives you Audioengine's trademark sound with an impressive battery life and long-range wireless. Stream instantly from all your favorite music services, apps, and devices. Tidal, Spotify, Pandora, and all your favorite streaming apps play immediately. You won't spend time fiddling around trying and retrying to get a connection. The 512 simply works, and it works splendidly.

If one of your devices doesn't happen to have Bluetooth, don't worry. The 512 also has a wired connection via a 3.5mm analog stereo mini-jack, so you're all set.

Small Speakers with Big Sound

Don't let its diminutive size fool you. The design wizards at Audioengine are experts at coaxing huge amounts of performance from compact cabinets. This tiny portable speaker is packed with much more sound than you would ever expect. Prepare to be impressed that an itsy-bitsy portable can play like this!

All Your Music, Wherever You Go

The 512 has an impressive battery life to keep all your tunes going strong. And the 512 delivers with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that charges fast and plays up to 12 hours.
