Unit price  per 

Keep your stereo system compact with the Acoustic Energy AE1 Active speakers. Integrated amplification and analogue RCA/XLR connections allow the pair to work with an appropriate source, DAC or preamplifier without a separate power amplifier.

Key Features

  • Two 50W Class A/B amplifiers per speaker – bi-amping gives each driver its own power for tight control and dynamics.
  • Pure Piston ceramic aluminum mid/bass – a stiff, light 125mm cone that keeps breakup and coloration low.
  • 27mm aluminum dome tweeter with WDT waveguide – Wide Dispersion Technology spreads treble evenly for stable, wide imaging.
  • All-analog signal path – no DSP, Class D or wireless stage, with linear power supplies throughout.
  • Redesigned slot port and braced cabinet – lower turbulence and distortion let the speaker play loud cleanly, up to 115dB.
  • Room-tuning controls – defeatable ±2dB bass and treble trims plus an analog volume control.

Good to Know

Connect via balanced XLR or unbalanced RCA. The built-in volume control means you can run a source straight into the speakers with no preamp. It is a two-way standmount design, so plan where it will sit before you buy.
