Acoustic Energy which is distributed in Australia by Kedcorp is set to launch an aggressive new assault on the two channel audio market. The company, founded in 1987 as a pro audio supplier to the music industry,claim that Australia is set to benefit from a major assault of the US market which will see the roll out of several new products.
To reach a new generation of music enthusiasts, the company is offering a powered 2.1 speaker system and a three-piece Bluetooth speaker system.The Company has also said that they will take advantage of new opportunities created by demand for in-room audio systems.
“Our philosophy is that you have to feel that someone is standing between two speakers and singing.” said Moses Gabbay, managing director of Acoustic Energy’s worldwide operations.The company is focused on “encouraging a new generation of music lovers to discover just how good their favorite recordings sound on a high-end system,” said the former president and CEO of Boston Acoustics.
In the US the Company is attempting to lift their profile during the economic downturn with a portfolio of products that include 38 residential speakers, including different finishes, to limited-edition two-way bookshelf speaker in their Reference series. The speaker is positioned as a reference-quality alternative to a floorstanding speaker, and it’s based on the company’s first speaker, which was designed for the pro market,Gabbay said. Only 100 pairs will be made, all with MDF cabinet enclosures lined with 5mm steel plates and featuring aluminum baffle to create a stiff, well-damped enclosure that eliminates cabinet coloration and boosts efficiency, the company said.
A more modestly price Aelite series of in-room speakers, topping at A$3,000/pair for a floorstanding three-way, uses other methods to reduce cabinet colorations, including cabinets that curve back. The series also features a bookshelf pair, horizontal center channel, and powered sub.
To broaden its demographic base, the company is offering a $400 powered 2.1-channel sub/sat system, the Aego M, with minijack and stereo RCA inputs to plug in portable music sources. A three-piece 20-watt powered speaker system, the $219 AE-29, is equipped with stereo Bluetooth receiver for playback of music stored on Bluetooth-equipped music phones as well as on iPods and PCs connected to Bluetooth stereo adapters. It also features RCA inputs for wired connections to sources, including iPods equipped with RCA adapter cables. The speakers can be unlocked from their central amplifier/Bluetooth module to be spread six feet apart to widen the sound stage. The central module features a manual volume knob.
Other in-room speakers include the Aego T compact 5.1 speaker system at $2,500 with two-way speakers in an enclosure described as an injection-molded and die-cast-aluminum hybrid. A powered sub is included.
