{"product_id":"acoustic-energy-ae-active","title":"Acoustic Energy Active Loudspeaker","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuilding on nearly four decades of loudspeaker innovation, the AE Active combines the brand’s heritage of precision engineering with the convenience demanded by today’s hi‑fi enthusiasts. The result is a compact, self‑powered speaker system that removes the need for external amplification while preserving the musicality and accuracy that define Acoustic Energy products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its core, the AE Active is a fully active, two‑way stand-mount loudspeaker featuring integrated Class A\/B amplification and dedicated amplification for each driver. This bi‑amped configuration ensures optimal performance, delivering exceptional clarity, dynamic headroom and precise driver control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe system incorporates Acoustic Energy’s new signature pure-piston ceramic\/aluminium cone, freshly developed for the AE1 40th Anniversary model and engineered to minimise distortion and eliminate cone flex, alongside a precision‑engineered aluminium dome tweeter enhanced by proprietary Wide Dispersion Technology (WDT). Together, these technologies provide a wide, immersive soundstage with outstanding accuracy and detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned with purity in mind, the AE Active features a fully analogue signal path, avoiding DSP and digital processing to preserve audio integrity. Each speaker houses revised dual 50‑watt Class A\/B amplifiers powered by high‑quality linear power supplies, ensuring consistent, low‑noise performance across the frequency range. New for the AE Active update is a convenient auto on\/off switch, much requested by users of the original AE1 Active.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlexibility is central to the AE Active design, with both balanced XLR and RCA inputs allowing seamless connection to a wide range of source devices including DACs, preamps and high‑resolution streamers. Adjustable bass and treble controls enable fine tuning to suit room acoustics and placement, offering greater control over the listening experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExternally, the cabinet has been subtly reshaped and fitted with a new silicone‑finished driver trim for a cleaner, more refined appearance. Finish options are high-gloss black, high-gloss white and a new natural walnut wood veneer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its compact footprint, refined cabinet design and premium finishes, the AE Active is equally suited to home audio systems and studio monitoring environments. Its combination of performance, versatility and simplicity reflects Acoustic Energy’s ongoing mission: to bring music to life with precision and authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Audio Art Cable USA","offers":[{"title":"Walnut Wood Veneer","offer_id":42599063978030,"sku":"Acoustic-Energy-AE-Active","price":1999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"High Gloss Black","offer_id":42599064010798,"sku":"Acoustic-Energy-AE-Active-2","price":1999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"High Gloss White","offer_id":42599064043566,"sku":"Acoustic-Energy-AE-Active-3","price":1999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0035\/4058\/2446\/files\/AE-Active-Walnut.jpg?v=1785446325","url":"https:\/\/audioartcable.com\/products\/acoustic-energy-ae-active","provider":"Audio Art Cable","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
