The Acoustic Energy AE SUB is engineered for precise low-frequency reproduction. Its advanced design ensures robust bass performance tailored for both Hi-Fi and Home Cinema applications.
The Acoustic Energy AE SUB employs a sealed box design which minimizes unwanted resonances, providing a more controlled listening experience. The 12" high-excursion driver, constructed from doped and stiffened pulp-fibre, allows for larger cone movements while maintaining structural integrity, resulting in accurate low-frequency reproduction down to 26Hz. The 250-watt RMS Class D amplifier ensures efficient power delivery, maintaining clarity and control in the bass frequencies. With a rotary crossover frequency control between 40-180Hz, the unit enables seamless integration with main speakers, while the adjustable phase control from 0-180 degrees enhances coherence in multi-driver systems, accommodating various room acoustics.
