Acoustic Energy Aelite One

Acoustic Energy Aelite One specifications

Introducing the AELITE Series of loudspeakers. A New mid-fi collection of speakers, using modern design techniques in drive unit technology and cabinet enclosure construction.

Following with AE tradition, lightweight high-efficiency alloy cones housed in die-cast aluminium chassis are used for the mid/ bass driver units, providing a fast, tight bass response with optimum detail and clarity.

The AELITE One is a compact 2-way bookshelf loudspeaker ideally suited to the rear-channel system setup. However, these miniature monitors are equally capable of exceptional performance as hi-fi music speakers when used on stands or rigid shelves within small/ medium sized rooms. Their curved cabinet design also allows convenient corner room placement.
