Delivering \u003cstrong\u003e30W of maximum output\u003c\/strong\u003e through \u003cstrong\u003e3\" woofers and 1.1\" silk dome tweeters\u003c\/strong\u003e, these compact active speakers are tuned by a built-in DSP for rich, full-range audio spanning \u003cstrong\u003e55 Hz to 20,000 Hz\u003c\/strong\u003e. With Bluetooth 5.3 wireless connectivity alongside dual RCA analogue inputs, the AT-SP3XWH connects effortlessly to turntables, computers, smartphones, and televisions without requiring any external amplifier or receiver. The white finish adds a clean, minimalist aesthetic suited to any room in the home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt-In DSP and Full-Range Driver Configuration\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AT-SP3XWH houses a 76 mm (3\") woofer and a 27 mm (1.1\") tweeter in each enclosure, configured as a 2-way, 2-driver bass-reflex design. The integrated Digital Signal Processor actively tunes the speaker output to achieve a balanced frequency response across the full range, compensating for the compact cabinet volume and ensuring the low frequencies remain controlled and defined. The DSP tuning means these speakers punch noticeably above their physical size, delivering a wide stereo soundstage with good imaging when positioned approximately 80 cm apart. The frequency response of 55 Hz to 20,000 Hz covers the full musical spectrum from bass guitar fundamentals to the upper harmonics of cymbals and acoustic instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBluetooth 5.3 with Multipoint Pairing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBluetooth 5.3 provides a stable wireless connection up to approximately 10 metres (33 feet) line of sight, supporting the A2DP profile with SBC codec at sample rates of 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz at up to 24-bit depth. A standout feature is Bluetooth multipoint pairing, which allows two devices to remain connected simultaneously. This means you can stream from a smartphone and a laptop at the same time, switching between sources without re-pairing. The 2.4 GHz FHSS spread spectrum method ensures consistent wireless performance in typical home environments with competing Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals nearby.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlug-and-Play Setup for Any Source\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AT-SP3XWH is powered entirely by the included AC adapter, which accepts voltages from 100 V to 240 V and ships with four international plug adapters, making it suitable for use anywhere in the world. A 2.0 m (6.6') speaker cable connects the left and right units. The dual RCA analogue inputs accept a wired connection directly from the phono output of a turntable with a built-in phono stage, a computer sound card, a TV, or any other line-level source. The control interface is intentionally simple: a single power button with LED indicator and a volume control dial sit on the right-hand speaker. No additional software, app, or setup process is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3\" Woofer + 1.1\" Tweeter Per

Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the Audio-Technica AT-SP3XWH powered bookshelf speakers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AT-SP3XWH is a pair of self-powered, 2-way bookshelf speakers from Audio-Technica featuring 3\" woofers, 1.1\" tweeters, 30W maximum output, and Bluetooth 5.3 wireless connectivity. They require no external amplifier or receiver and connect to turntables, computers, smartphones, and televisions via RCA analogue input or Bluetooth. The white finish distinguishes this variant from the standard black AT-SP3X model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the AT-SP3XWH compare to the Edifier R1280DB and Klipsch The Fives?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AT-SP3XWH competes directly with entry-level powered bookshelf speakers but occupies a more compact form factor than either the Edifier R1280DB or the Klipsch The Fives. The Edifier R1280DB offers optical and coaxial digital inputs alongside RCA, giving it greater connectivity for TV setups, while the Klipsch The Fives adds HDMI ARC input and a built-in phono preamp. The AT-SP3XWH differentiates itself with Bluetooth 5.3 multipoint pairing, a smaller physical footprint, and Audio-Technica's DSP tuning, making it particularly well suited for desktop and bedroom setups where size matters and a two-device wireless workflow is a priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the AT-SP3XWH connect to a turntable directly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AT-SP3XWH connects directly to turntables that have a built-in phono preamp via the dual RCA inputs. Most modern Audio-Technica turntables, including the AT-LP120XUSB and AT-LP3XBT, feature a switchable built-in phono preamp, making them compatible for a direct wired connection. Turntables with a raw phono output and no built-in preamp will require a separate phono preamplifier between the turntable and the AT-SP3XWH, as the speakers accept line-level input only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Bluetooth multipoint pairing on the AT-SP3XWH?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBluetooth multipoint pairing allows the AT-SP3XWH to maintain an active connection to two Bluetooth devices at the same time. This means a smartphone and a laptop, for example, can both remain paired without needing to disconnect one before using the other. Playback switching happens automatically based on which device sends an audio signal, making it convenient for users who move between sources throughout the day without manually managing Bluetooth connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo the AT-SP3XWH speakers work without a subwoofer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AT-SP3XWH operates as a standalone stereo speaker system without a subwoofer. The 3\" woofers and bass-reflex enclosure extend frequency response down to 55 Hz, which covers most music content adequately for casual listening at moderate volumes. For users who want more low-end weight for bass-heavy music or home theatre use, an external powered subwoofer with a line-level input can be paired by running a splitter from the source, as the AT-SP3XWH does not include a dedicated subwoofer output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat devices are compatible with the AT-SP3XWH?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AT-SP3XWH is compatible with any device that outputs a Bluetooth A2DP audio stream or a line-level analogue RCA signal. This includes smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktop computers, turntables with built-in phono preamps, televisions with RCA outputs, dedicated CD players, and streaming devices. The speakers do not accept a digital optical or USB audio input, so sources that output only digital audio will need a DAC or analogue output adapter to connect via RCA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Audio-Technica AT-SP3XWH in Toronto or Canada?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Audio-Technica AT-SP3XWH Powered Bookshelf Speakers are available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised Audio-Technica dealer located in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound carries the full Audio-Technica product range in-store and ships across Canada.
