About the AE Active
The Acoustic Energy AE1 Active is a self-powered two-way standmount loudspeaker designed for direct connection to DAC/preamps and hi-res streamers. It uses integrated Class A/B amplification with fully active filter networks, Acoustic Energy’s ceramic-aluminium cone bass/mid driver, and an aluminium dome tweeter with WDT waveguide for wider dispersion and better room integration. It is aimed at users who want high-quality active monitor-style performance without external power amplifiers, and it offers simple analog connectivity plus rear-panel level and tone adjustments.
