{"product_id":"argonaudiofenrisa4schwarz","title":"Argon Audio Fenris A4 Active Speakers, Black (Pair)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Argon Audio Fenris A4 is an active bookshelf speaker pair with built-in amplifiers, digital-to-analogue converter and connections for TV, turntable and Bluetooth. In Black, it recedes visually: next to a TV or in a dark shelf it's barely noticeable – until it starts playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Fenris A4?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eActive here doesn't just mean “amplifier built in”. Each driver gets its own Class D amplifier – 50 watts for the woofer\/midrange, 25 watts for the tweeter – and the crossover works digitally in the DSP before any amplification happens at all. That's where the clean, effortless reproduction comes from, which you wouldn't expect from a 4-inch chassis. The A4 is operated via remote control, and it handles switching on by itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne cable to the TV via HDMI ARC, with the TV remote controlling the volume too. Add an optical input for a games console or streaming box, an RCA input for anything analogue, and a phono MM input where the turntable lands without a detour. Bluetooth 5.0 is there for a quick song from your phone. Paid services remain purely optional – the A4 plays just as happily with vinyl, TV sound and local files.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Fenris A4 in Black suited to – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonestly: in a large, open living space, the small Fenris eventually hits its limits – that's where the A5 is the more assured answer. And if you expect WiFi streaming with AirPlay or Spotify Connect, you won't find that here; wirelessly, only Bluetooth is on offer. If instead you're looking for an unobtrusive, serious sound solution for TV and music in a normal room, Black is the finish most likely to blend into the décor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLittle effort, big result: two speakers, one power cable, one HDMI cable – and you have a system that takes music seriously. HIFI.DE gave the A4 8.3 out of 10 points in testing (2022).

Via HDMI ARC you connect the TV with a single cable and keep controlling the volume with the TV remote. Compared with the flat speakers built into a TV, voices and music in particular gain noticeably in body and clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much amplifier power is inside the Fenris A4?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA total of four Class D amplifiers: 50 watts for the woofer\/midrange and 25 watts for the tweeter, so 75 watts per speaker. Because each driver is driven directly with no passive crossover in the way, this power is easily enough for normal living rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I add a subwoofer to the Fenris A4?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. On the back there's an RCA pre-out that you connect to an active subwoofer. This is mainly worthwhile for film sound and electronic music. For voices, jazz and most living rooms, the A4 does perfectly well without extra low-end support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Fenris A4 from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we take the decision off your hands that no one online will: which finish suits your room, whether the A4 or A5 makes more sense, and how to cable up your sources cleanly.
