AE309²
The AE309² is a new slim-line floor-standing loudspeaker with compact dimensions, suitable for medium to large sized rooms. Featuring new cabinet design and drivers, performance has been considerably improved in all areas whilst maintaining the same competitive pricing as the previous model.
The AE309² utilises brand-new paper/coconut-fibre bass-mid drivers which were developed using research derived from the CORINIUM project. These drivers, along with an all-new soft dome tweeter are housed in an inert, slimline 18mm constrained-layer RSC™ MDF/bitumen cabinet – offering a significant step up in both audio and material quality at this price point. 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 cabinet is available in a choice of walnut or newly developed ‘silk-touch’ matte black or white finishes featuring screen-printed logos with trims and grilles which are colour matched for each finish. The new AE309² is also supplied with aluminium feet and spike covers and will easily integrate within any home décor while being considerate to any floor surface.
Acoustic Energy’s new 300 Series marks a milestone in loudspeaker design. It proudly stands on the shoulders of the Corinium project, utilising its insights to elevate their mid-product range to a level unequalled at the price. No single component has been shared with the previous 300 Series, showcasing a completely new acoustic and aesthetic design from the ground up. This transformative venture has redefined Acoustic Energy’s understanding of speaker design, highlighting what truly matters in achieving exceptional sound quality.
Acoustic Energy’s all-new mid-woofer, crafted with a blend of paper and coconut husk, delivers a smooth, natural, and refined response, embodying warmth and clarity while retaining the punch and pace of their old aluminium cone. This groundbreaking new driver ensures consistent sonic performance across the range. Partnered with a newly developed soft-dome tweeter derived from Acoustic Energy’s Corinium project, it offers open, delicate and natural high frequencies, tonally matching with the mid-woofer to enable seamless integration across the audible range.
A first at this price point, the new 300 Series features constrained-layer RSC™ (Resonance Suppression Composite) cabinets pioneered in Acoustic Energy’s Reference Series nearly 15 years ago. This advanced construction significantly reduces cabinet radiation, allowing the drive units to perform at their best without enclosure interference, ensuring pure, uncoloured, and natural sound.
The 300 series don’t just sound good; it looks good too. Acoustic Energy’s design team have created an aesthetic that blends into modern interiors with subtlety and elegance, including bespoke trims and grilles for each finish creating a more harmonious design language. The cabinets have been slimmed down as much as possible while not adding depth, and in the case of the AE307² transformed to an ultra-shallow sealed enclosure with passive radiator, adding wall-mounting versatility.
In line with latest furniture trends, we’ve moved away from high gloss finishes of the previous 300 Series and chose a newly developed, modern and highly durable ‘silk-touch’ matte material with colour-coordinated trims, solid aluminium feet (on floor standing models) and matching premium grille fabrics. The result is a fresh design statement which remains distinctly Acoustic Energy.
