The PSI Audio A17M is a compact, professionally oriented two-way active nearfield studio monitor designed for critical mixing, mastering, broadcast, and stereo or multichannel monitoring. It uses a fully analog signal path without DSP, individually calibrated electronics, compensated phase response (CPR), adaptive output impedance (AOI), and Class A/B bi-amplification. The monitor combines a custom low-frequency driver with a hand-built high-frequency driver in a compact MDF bass-reflex cabinet. It is manufactured in Switzerland and is intended for nearfield listening at approximately 0.7–2 m. Current published versions specify 170 W plus 45 W potential peak amplifier power, 44 Hz–23 kHz bandwidth, and up to 115 dB peak SPL at 1 m.
