{"product_id":"argonaudiofenrisa5schwarz","title":"Argon Audio Fenris A5 Active Speakers, Black (Pair)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Argon Audio Fenris A5 is an active stereo pair that packs amplifiers, digital-to-analogue converter and inputs for TV, turntable and Bluetooth into two compact cabinets. Black is the most understated finish: under the TV or in a dark sideboard, you mainly see the picture, not the speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Fenris A5?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e75 watts Class D per speaker, split into 50 watts for the 5.25-inch woofer\/midrange and 25 watts for the fabric dome – each driver gets its own amplifier, separated by a digital crossover in the DSP. That spares the signal the passive-component route and is why the A5 doesn't lose its composure so easily at higher levels. Switching on\/off and input selection are handled automatically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything a living room needs sits on the back: HDMI ARC for the TV including volume control via the TV remote, an optical digital input, an analogue RCA input and a phono MM input for the turntable. Plus Bluetooth 5.0 and a pre-out for the subwoofer. Streaming services are an option, not a condition – vinyl, TV and local files are entirely enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Fenris A5 in Black suited to – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonestly: if you're only sonicating a desk, buying the A5 gets you more speaker than you need – that's what the A4 is for. And if you want WiFi, AirPlay or multiroom, the Forte WiFi series is the right call; wirelessly, only Bluetooth runs here. For a living room where a device should stand out as little as possible while still making proper music, the black version is the obvious choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo cables, two speakers, one complete system – and a sound that makes you forget the compact build. HIFI.DE gave it 8.3 out of 10 in testing (2022). If you want to know whether your room calls for the A4 or the A5: get in touch, we'll work it out with you in five minutes.

Via HDMI ARC a single cable to the TV is enough, and you keep controlling the volume with the TV remote. Compared with the flat sound from a TV or a small soundbar, voices, music and film sound gain noticeably in body and spatiality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow loud can the Fenris A5 play?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor living rooms up to about 30 square metres, the power is easily enough: 50 watts drive the woofer\/midrange per speaker, 25 watts the tweeter. Because the amplifiers sit right at the driver with no passive crossover in between, the sound stays clean even at elevated levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need to plug both speakers into power?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Only the active main speaker with the connections needs a power outlet; the second one is connected via the included speaker cable. The cable is three metres long – which in practice limits the maximum distance between the two speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Fenris A5 from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we've seen active speakers in everyday use for years and know where the snags are: the cable run between the speakers, placement, HDMI settings on the TV.
