Acoustic Energy AE509
The AE509 is a slim-line floor-standing loudspeaker with compact dimensions, suitable for medium to large sized rooms. Similar to the AE500 comparison, the AE509 offers higher levels of performance and finish than its 300 Series equivalent. The 500 Series features AE's newly developed carbon fibre tweeters and mid/bass drivers, designed to match the pistonic power and accuracy of our legendary ceramic aluminium drivers but with improved self-damping for a smoother, more transparent sound.
Offering unparalleled levels of performance, quality and value the result is an audio product with clean, uncluttered lines delivering a thrilling and powerful presentation discerning Acoustic Energy owners have come to expect for over 30 years.
The slim-line cabinets are finished in Piano Gloss Black, Piano Gloss White or American Walnut wood veneer finishes. Solid Aluminium bars are supplied to ensure rigid floor-coupling and maximum stability, whilst the stiffness of the metal structure reduces the room to speaker interaction.
Slimline cabinets
The slimline cabinet is finished in Piano Black, Piano White or American Walnut wood veneer. Solid Aluminium bars ensure rigid floor-coupling and top stability whilst the stiffness of the metal structure reduces interaction between the room and speaker.
These patented drivers are held in new 18mm RSC cabinets evolved from the Reference Series with the same constrained layer composite to greatly minimise cabinet acoustic radiation.
Tweeter
The tweeter incorporates a brand new 25mm carbon fibre dome which is lighter and better damped than other conventional hard dome materials and grants a lightning fast, natural sound that is sure to surprise the listener with its neutrality.
The new cast aluminium WDT waveguide is close to the mid/bass driver for top dispersion and is extremely rigid to lower vibration being passed to the tweeter for sweet, clear and natural highs.
Drivers
The 125mm mid/bass driver has a new oversized 35mm voice coil for minimal thermal compression and ultra high motor force factor to deliver a highly dynamic yet controlled bass response. The woofer has a maximised motor and suspension system for superior linearity and least distortion for mid-range definition whilst the lightweight carbon fibre cone material enhances transient speed and clarity.
Crossover
The dual-way crossovers utilise high voltage polypropylene film wound capacitors and air core inductors at key positions for superior dispersion through a more compact acoustic source within the crossover region.
