ACOUSTIC ENERGY AE1202 LOUDSPEAKERS ADDED TO THE 100 SERIES
Acoustic Energy adds the flagship model to their new 100 Series
Following the launch of the new 100 Series in January, Acoustic Energy has announced a flagship floor-standing model, the Acoustic Energy AE1202.

ACOUSTIC ENERGY AE1202
Heading up the range, the AE120² is the largest model in the 100 series and a true 3-way design. The speaker has been designed to offer a big sound from a slimline enclosure. Twin bass drive units combine with a dedicated mid-range driver housed in its own enclosure, designed to mitigate the harmful effects of rear wave reflections. Integrated within the Wide Dispersion Technology (WDT) waveguide, Acoustic Energy’s 25mm soft dome tweeter manages the high frequencies.

CROSSOVER
The 3-way crossover is impedance compensated to avoid the resonance issues which would otherwise slow bass delivery and colour mid-range performance. Particular attention has also been paid to the phase and time alignment for optimum integration and soundstage.
The inert cabinet enclosure is constructed from 15mm HDF and is supplied mass loaded to help dampen cabinet vibrations. The internal bracing system has been carefully tuned to reduce cabinet resonances and mid-range colouration and the AE1202 has a subtlety styled, discrete satin black plinth to aid stability.
