Audioengine AW1 Wireless Adapter

How it Works
Included with the two units is a USB power adapter that's required to power the receiver/sender. If you're connecting your PC to the AE5 speakers this plug won’t be necessary, as there is a USB charge port on the AE5. Thus it’s optimal for Audioengine speaker usage, though interconnection between any two components is possible: iPod to powered speakers, AV receiver to surround speakers, subwoofer connections and more.

�

Indeed, the AW1 is a ‘wire replacer’ in the basic sense of the term; the only issue being that sender and receiver need to be powered (duh). In this case they draw power through a USB connection. In the worst case an extra USB power adapter might have to be purchased, if both your source and receiver have no sign of a USB port.
