The AE100 is a compact standmount / bookshelf loudspeaker that exhibits qualities which perfectly embody those of Acoustic Energy. It has been designed with a view to achieving high sound pressure levels from an extremely small enclosure. This is obtained principally through the use of a 4 inch mid-bass drive unit built around an ultra high force long throw motor system. Bass performance is augmented by a slot shaped duct allowing for a considerable cross sectional area while negating the issues of air turbulence.
