Product Description

The Acoustic Energy AE1 Active bookshelf speakers deliver audiophile-grade sound quality with the convenience of an active speaker system.

Designed for hi-fi enthusiasts, professionals, and music lovers, the AE1 Active provides an accurate, dynamic, and immersive listening experience without the need for an external amplifier.

Each speaker features a 125mm aluminium mid-bass driver and a 25mm pure piston ceramic tweeter, driven by dedicated Class A/B amplifiers for a refined and powerful performance.

The internally braced MDF cabinet is engineered to minimise resonance, while the rear-ported bass reflex system ensures deep, controlled low frequencies.

Whether used in a desktop setup, hi-fi system, or professional studio environment, the AE1 Active speakers offer exceptional clarity, detail, and accuracy.

FEATURES

  • 125mm Aluminium Mid-Bass Driver: Provides detailed, dynamic, and controlled low frequencies for a precise and engaging sound.
  • 25mm Pure Piston Ceramic Tweeter: Delivers crisp, extended high frequencies with minimal distortion for exceptional clarity.
  • Dual Class A/B Amplifiers: Each speaker has its own dedicated amplifier, delivering 50W RMS per channel for a clean and powerful performance.
  • Rear-Ported Bass Reflex System: Enhances low-end extension while maintaining tight and controlled bass response.
  • Internally Braced MDF Cabinet: Minimises unwanted vibrations and resonance for a purer, more accurate sound reproduction.
  • Analogue & Digital Inputs: RCA and balanced XLR inputs allow for seamless integration into hi-fi systems, professional setups, or desktop configurations.
  • Compact & Elegant Design: A sleek, stylish finish that complements modern interiors while delivering high-performance audio.

For those who seek studio-quality sound in a compact, stylish, and all-in-one speaker system, the Acoustic Energy AE1 Active is a top-tier choice, offering uncompromised performance and convenience.
