Legendary speakers

Famous for their sound for over three decades, Acoustic Energy are truly legendary speakers. The AE308 active Subwoofer is an-all new subwoofer perfectly matched to the 300 series speakers.

Hear the sound – precisely as it should be
Designed to complement and integrate seamlessly with other models in the 300 Series, the AE308 offers prodigious performance in both Hi-Fi and AV implementations. Making use of a new 500 Watt RMS amplifier mated to a 12" high-excursion doped and stiffened pulp-fibre driver, the AW308 also features DSP modes to tailor performance perfectly to the listener's desired usage - a first for AE.

Choice of Modes
In Music mode the AE308 will perform in a balanced, accurate manner, extending low frequencies of the main speaker naturally and seamlessly down to 26Hz (+/-6dB)

In Movie mode there will be additional 'slam' on offer to aid explosive movie soundtracks in AV system.

Finally Impact mode trades outright extension for maximum volume and serious impact, more akin to a club set-up for when you really want to party, really hard!

Choice of luxury finishes
Available in Piano gloss black, white lanquer or real wood American walnut veneer to match the rest of the 300 series, the AE308 subwoofer  look every bit as good as they sound. Carpet piercing spikes also come with convenient rubber caps for use on hard flooring.

For home or home studio, the Acoustic Energy AE1 Active speakers are simply the best active speakers in their class.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

TWEETER

A new 28mm aluminium tweeter has been developed for the 300 Series which offers high power handling and a low fundamental resonance to reduce distortion.  However, the main benefit to this new design is the excellent dispersion characteristics thanks to our Wide Dispersion Technology waveguides. The waveguides shape the acoustic output of the tweeter to match the woofer and provide a wider sweet-spot in your listening environment.

DRIVERS

Tracing its lineage back to the original AE1, the AE300 uses the latest generation of our 130mm mid-bass drive unit. Featuring a brand new shallow profile aluminium sandwich cone with an ultra-high force, long throw motor system. This new driver boasts improved dispersion, extended bass slam and overall power handling.

CABINET

The inert 18mm high density MDF cabinet utilises proprietary bracing technology derived from the award-winning Reference Series, to reduce cabinet colouration and allow the new transducers to breath freely within the listening environment. The slot shaped duct port on the rear of the speaker* augments the bass output and has been carefully developed to reduce the effect of air turbulence with a clean undistorted bass performance.

* The AE308 is a sealed box with no slot port.
