Hi-fi sound performance
Digital signal processing and high quality digital-to-analogue converters help produce the kind of spacious sound you'd expect from a much bigger speaker.
Music how you like it
Play music wirelessly from your computer, iPhone or iPad, or even from your favourite apps. How you play is up to you.
Compact design
Compact and designed to perform in out-of-the-way areas, A5 is a great choice in rooms where space is at a premium.
Wireless music with AirPlay
Think of a tune, then play it - instantly. Apple's AirPlay wirelessly streams music from your iPhone®, iPad® or iPod touch® straight to A5. It can stream from iTunes on a networked Mac or PC too - high-quality, lossless audio files as well as MP3s. You control your music, wherever you are, via your device. It's time to set your music free.
Stay in control
Play and control music wirelessly, anywhere in the room. Or, with more than one A5 forming a multiroom system, walk your music from room to room effortlessly in the palm of your hand.
Listening how you like it
AirPlay on A5 works seamlessly with your favourite music apps, like Last.fm, Pandora and Mixcloud. However you like to get music, via lossless audio, MP3 or a cloud service, you can tune in on A5.
Pristine sound
A5 is designed simply to deliver spacious sound, from the highest quality audio files, wirelessly. Drivers from our M-1 speakers, anti-resonance plug technology and dimpled Flowports combine with high-quality digital-to-analogue convertors and processors to carry a digital signal untainted by distortion, to a room-filling, yet surprisingly compact, system.
Years of experience
Bowers & Wilkins has been designing and making speakers since 1965. Key innovations from those decades of audio engineering experience are used to ensure that A5 sounds simply pristine.
Nautilus tapering tubes
Not all sound is good sound. A5 features tube-loaded tweeters first seen on our flagship Nautilus™ speaker. Rear reflections in the cabinet are absorbed by the design, to ensure pure high frequencies.
Easy setup
Getting a new A5 up and running in your home couldn't be easier. With the free Bowers & Wilkins AirPlay App, it's a breeze to set up and manage. The app will walk you through the simple steps to connect your A5 to Wi-Fi, and choose and manage your settings, all wirelessly. Because we're sure you'd rather be listening to great music than messing about with cables or flicking through manuals.
AirPlay compatibility
Apple's AirPlay wireless streaming technology works with iPhone, iPod touch and iPad with iOS 4.3.3 or later, Mac with OS X Mountain Lion, or Mac and PC with iTunes 10.2.2 or later. A5 features both 802.11G wi-fi and an Ethernet port for direct, cable control and the free Bowers & Wilkins AirPlay app makes sure wireless connection is easy.
