AirPulse A200 Active Bookshelf Bluetooth Speaker System with Signature Phil Jones Design - Cherry Wood

Product Information

The up-to 192 KHz input sample rate support guarantees the entire link for digital processing run without any change in sample rate signal. To avoid cross-talk between the two analogue ports, A100 uses a relay instead of a semiconductor switch. Whether you are looking for HDMI cables for your home cinema setups, cleaning kits for your binos, or extra storage for your laptop, our range of tech accessories will have something for your needs. Starting from the bottom of the frequency spectrum, compared to the Kanto YU4 speakers, the A80 designs offered a mature and complex suite of bass frequencies.

It seems clear to me, however, that in choosing an underhung arrangement for the A300, a prime motivation for its designer was sound quality. Straightforward beats are slightly off-kilter, while it is something of a gamble to play anything approaching complexity. The standard audiophile template for what constitutes great value and speaker design has now been sent back to Rivendell to be remade into a new Flame of the West.I played Nina Simone and Love Me or Leave Me as a lossy file from my phone to see how the speakers coped with an inferior source signal. Essentially, they depict how linear the subwoofer remains for the corresponding drive level seen in the long-term sweeps.

If you’re targeting a product at a general audience, the last you want to do is to annoy them because of pernickety design issues. They sounded good, but there was some kind of weird whining sound coming from them both when music was played on Roon (Qobuz) using USB (didn't test spotify). The A80 horn-loaded ribbon tweeter continues in the tradition of the flagship 7001 near-field monitor speakers. Whether you seek passive or active speakers, Airpulse has something to delight the most discerning audiophiles. Moreover flat speakers do not sound the best for human ears, and that is why headphones with harman kardon curve for example may sound better than flat ones.with aptX connectivity, mean you can really play just about any source with minimal fuss – but their diminutive stature does make them ideal for the desktop. I listened with the ports blocked (which will limit the A300's maximum level) too and preferred that option to ports open, but still felt the bass was a little overblown. ELECTRIC BLUE AIRPULSE A80 ACTIVE SPEAKERS Airpulse has released their modern active bookshelf speaker the Airpulse A80 in electric blue. I have no proof, obviously, but the reason might just be that the port organ-pipe resonance is audible.

The Bluetooth audio receiver is built on Qualcomm’s Bluetooth chipset, which supports APT-X decoder, and offers a far better audio playback quality than what a traditional Bluetooth SBC codec can present. The sense of explicit clarity and uncoloured detail I thought I heard back at the hi-fi exhibition is definitely all there.This was nice and simple, I popped the Airpulse A100 in the same position as the Electrocompaniet Tana 2 system that I reviewed last, on an IKEA unit that houses records in our main listening room and divides it from our living space. One TAS5754 is connected in bridge mode to the left and right channel woofer while the other amp is connected in bridge mode to the left and right channel ribbon tweeters. These amplifiers are unique in that they support high input sample rates and high output PWM carrier frequencies, which are crucial for achieving low background noise and low distortion.
