The AE1 Active is based on a purely analogue design with no compromise on sound quality.
Each speaker incorporates two matched 50W Class A/B amplifiers for outstanding dynamic performance.
It is equipped with a high-quality linear power supply that ensures a stable power feed.
It uses a fourth-order active crossover filter with minimum phase for precise frequency separation.
The absence of digital DSP processing keeps the music signal completely natural and unaltered.
It delivers a warm, organic and commanding sound worthy of the AE1 series’ historic name.
2-way active bookshelf speaker fully constructed using analog architecture technology.
- Built-in amplifiers 2×50 watt RMS per speaker.
- Frequency response 40Hz-25kHz +/-6dB.
- High End 4th order active crossover of Linkwitz-Riley type.
- Mid/Bass Drivers 125mm with ceramic cone and neodymium magnet.

125 mm Ceramic Aluminum Pure Piston Cone
The low- and mid-frequency driver uses a 125mm cone.
It features the fifth generation of pure piston technology, made from hard-anodized aluminum.
The composite ceramic coating provides exceptional rigidity while keeping weight very low.
It completely prevents unwanted cone flex during demanding acoustic excursions.
It eliminates the distortion traditionally found in conventional paper or plastic cones.
It delivers deep, exceptionally fast bass and crystal-clear vocal reproduction.
27mm Aluminum Tweeter with WDT Waveguide
The high-frequency driver features a completely new 27mm-diameter aluminum dome.
Designed exclusively by Acoustic Energy for maximum bandwidth and low distortion.
It works ideally with the dedicated Wide Dispersion Technology (WDT) waveguide.
The waveguide ensures even, wide sound dispersion throughout the room.
It delivers seamless tonal integration with the bass driver, without any audible gaps.
It creates a remarkably open stereo image with precise instrument focus.
Durable Fiberboard Cabinet with Slot Port Vent
The enclosure is made from heavy-duty, high-density fibreboard.
It features extensive internal bracing and specially designed acoustic damping panels.
It effectively eliminates unwanted resonances and cabinet coloration.
For the first time, it incorporates an innovative slot port.
The slot’s large cross-sectional area dramatically reduces airflow noise at high volumes.
Balanced XLR and RCA Connections and Tone Control
Each unit offers a choice of inputs: balanced XLR or classic RCA.
Connect directly to preamps, DACs, or professional studio sound cards.
Each speaker has an independent volume control for precise level balancing.
Features +/- 2dB treble and +/- 2dB bass adjustment switches.
Fine-tune the sound profile to suit the room’s acoustics.
Includes slim fabric grilles with an elegant magnetic fit.
