Acoustic Energy AE509 Slim-Line 2-Way Floorstanding Speakers - Pair

Tweeter

Acoustic Energy's 500 Series tweeter features a brand new 25mm carbon fiber dome. Carbon fiber is much lighter and better damped than other typical hard dome materials and provides a lightning-fast, natural sound which will surprise the listener with its neutrality. The new cast aluminum WDT waveguide on the high-frequency driver is positioned close to the mid/bass driver for optimum dispersion and is extremely stiff to reduce vibration being passed to the tweeter, ensuring sweet, clear and natural highs.

Drivers

The 125mm mid/bass driver includes a new oversized 35mm voice coils for low thermal compression and very high motor force factor, to provide a highly dynamic yet controlled bass response. The woofer has an optimized motor and suspension system for maximum linearity and lowest distortion ensuring mid-range definition, whilst the lightweight nature of the carbon fiber cone material increases transient speed and clarity.

Crossover

The crossovers use high-voltage polypropylene film wound capacitors and air core inductors at critical locations for optimum dispersion through a smaller acoustic source size within the crossover region.

Cabinet

These unique drivers are housed in Acoustic Energy's new 18mm Resonance Suppression Composite (RSC) cabinets, evolved from the prestigious Reference Series and featuring the same constrained layer composite to greatly reduce cabinet acoustic radiation, which would otherwise color the sound.
