Inklang Ayers Two Wireless Review: A Compact Speaker Done Right

German manufacturer Inklang has built a reputation for crafting loudspeakers that combine clean, transparent sound with exceptional build quality. Their designs don’t just perform, they integrate beautifully into real living spaces, thanks to a highly flexible configurator that allows buyers to choose from a wide range of finishes and colors.

Now, the Hamburg-based brand has taken a significant step forward. With the introduction of its “Wireless” series, Inklang is embracing active speaker technology, promising not only greater convenience but also a meaningful improvement in sonic performance. The Ayers Two Wireless is a key model in this new lineup, and it represents a thoughtful evolution rather than a simple feature upgrade.

The Shift to Active Design

The transition from passive to active loudspeakers is more than just a technical adjustment; it fundamentally changes how a system behaves. By removing passive crossovers and assigning dedicated amplification to each driver, active speakers achieve a higher level of control and precision.

In the case of the Ayers Two Wireless, this translates into improved transient response, tighter bass control, and a more coherent presentation overall. The ability to digitally manage the signal also opens the door to room adaptation features, allowing the speaker to perform consistently across different environments. While passive designs still appeal to purists, a well-executed active system like this makes a strong case for modern approaches to hi-fi.

HD 10 Stream Connect: The Control Center

At the heart of the wireless system sits the HD 10 Stream Connect, a compact yet capable hub that handles streaming, connectivity, and signal distribution. Supporting high-resolution audio up to 24-bit/192kHz, it integrates seamlessly with popular platforms such as TIDAL, Spotify, Qobuz, and Deezer.

Its connectivity options are equally comprehensive, including HDMI ARC, optical and coaxial inputs, USB, Bluetooth, and analog RCA. Importantly, the hub is not restricted to Inklang speakers alone; it can also function as a high-quality streaming preamplifier within other systems, adding to its versatility.

Design and Build Quality

Visually, the Ayers Two Wireless stays true to Inklang’s established design language. It is a compact yet substantial loudspeaker, finished to a high standard and clearly built with attention to detail. The cabinet feels solid and refined, reinforcing the premium positioning of the product.

Inside, the speaker features an 18 cm woofer paired with a 30 mm tweeter sourced from Wavecor. Inklang’s decision to implement a relatively low crossover point at 1,200 Hz contributes to a more seamless integration between drivers, resulting in a natural and cohesive midrange. The internal electronics are housed in a sealed rear compartment, ensuring they remain isolated from the cabinet’s acoustic environment.

Technology and Amplification

The Ayers Two Wireless is built around a modern digital architecture that combines DSP processing with dual DDFA amplification, delivering 250 watts of power. This design keeps the signal in the digital domain for as long as possible, minimizing unnecessary conversions and preserving detail.

This approach results in a clean, controlled sound that emphasizes precision without sacrificing musicality. Even when using analog sources, the system maintains a high level of refinement, demonstrating that the underlying engineering is both robust and well executed.

Set Up and Everyday Use

Despite its advanced internal design, the system is remarkably easy to set up and operate. Pairing the speakers with the hub is quick and reliable, and control can be handled via remote, app, or directly on the device itself.

Inklang has made a deliberate effort to keep things simple. Rather than overwhelming users with endless DSP parameters, the Ayers Two Wireless offers a focused set of adjustments for speaker placement and bass response. This makes it adaptable to different rooms while remaining accessible to a wide range of users.

Sound Performance

The real strength of the Ayers Two Wireless becomes apparent the moment music begins to play. There is an immediate sense of clarity and control that defines its presentation. The bass is deep, tight, and highly articulate, maintaining structure even with demanding material while avoiding any sense of excess.

The midrange stands out for its openness and precision, allowing vocals and instruments to emerge with impressive detail and realism. High frequencies are handled with equal care, offering extension and clarity without introducing harshness.

Listening to “Happy” by SR9 highlights the speaker’s ability to resolve fine details and present them with precision, while more intimate recordings from Kings of Convenience* reveal a natural tonal balance and convincing sense of space. The overall presentation favors transparency and speed, creating an engaging and immersive listening experience.

Limitations

The only notable limitation lies in the maximum output. The built-in DSP actively prevents distortion, which means the speaker will not exceed certain volume thresholds. While this may limit extreme loudness, it ensures consistent sound quality and protects the system from strain. In typical listening environments, this is unlikely to be a significant concern.

Conclusion

The Inklang Ayers Two Wireless represents a well-executed step into active speaker design. It combines thoughtful engineering, elegant design, and a refined sonic character in a package that feels both modern and complete.

Compared to its passive counterpart, the added cost is justified not only by the convenience of wireless operation but also by the clear gains in precision and control. For listeners seeking a compact system that delivers clarity, balance, and ease of use, the Ayers Two Wireless stands out as a compelling choice in today’s hi-fi landscape.
