AE22 Active
Designed to be used on a mixing desk at ear level as a near-field monitor.
The AE22 Active monitor incorporate high quality class A-B power amplifiers totalling 160 Watts for each speaker, including EQ presets to provide adjustment of tonal balance and low frequency bandwidth. A high visibility LED display gives clear indication of all user settings ensuring both speakers are set up identically.
The AE22 is a low distortion, closed box speaker with an exceptional time domain performance (better than 40dB down within 5ms) and good horizontal off-axis consistency. It doesn’t have the flattest anechoic amplitude response you’ll ever see, nor the widest bandwidth, but from 60Hz to 25kHz it is about as musically accurate as moving-coil driver technology can achieve at the price.

KEYS 02/2012: AE22 Active
Original German: "Die Acoustic Energy AE22 Active bieten alle Eigenschaften, die einen guten Nahfeldmonitor auszeichnen. Neben einem akkuraten Impulsverhalten überzeugen die präzise Mittenwiedergabe und ein hoher möglicher Ausgangspegel. Die AE22 verfügen über all die positiven Merkmale, die die NS-10 seinerzeit so erfolgreich gemacht haben, bei gleichzeitig besserem Grundklang und modernen Features. Für alle, die einen ehrlichen Monitor suchen und Wert darauf legen, dass ihre Mischungen überall gut klingen, seien die AE22 wärmstens empfohlen."
(English translation: The Acoustic Energy AE22 Actives offer all the features that characterize a good nearfield monitor. In addition to accurate transient response, the AE22's offer precise midrange and high power output.
