Lewis CaliburnAcoustic Energy has announced the arrival of the AE320 floor standing loudspeaker completing the recently launched, reimagined 300 Series line up. With a larger form-factor based on the Corinium driver array, the manufacturer states that the new AE320² sets new standards for performance, design, and value in the mid-range loudspeaker market.
Suitable for medium to large sized rooms the AE320² features new cabinet design and drivers with considerably improved performance in all areas.
The AE320²’s all-new mid-woofer is crafted from a blend of paper and coconut husk, delivering a smooth, natural tonal balance with the dynamic punch of Acoustic Energy’s traditional aluminium cones.
This is paired with a newly developed soft-dome tweeter, derived directly from the Corinium, offering open and natural high frequencies.
For the first time at this price point, the AE320² incorporates Resonance Suppression Composite (RSC) cabinet technology, originally developed for Acoustic Energy’s Reference Series – dramatically reducing cabinet coloration and allowing the drivers to perform with exceptional clarity and precision.
The AE320² also debuts a sleek new aesthetic, featuring a durable ‘silk-touch’ matte finish available in walnut, black, or white, with colour-matched trims and premium grille fabrics. Solid aluminium feet provide both stability and a refined visual touch.
Mat Spandl, Managing Director of Acoustic Energy, comments, “The development of the new 300 Series has been a journey of innovation and discovery. By leveraging the insights from our Corinium project, we have been able to push the boundaries of what is possible in loudspeaker design at this price point. Our goal was to create a speaker that not only delivers exceptional sound quality but also integrates seamlessly into modern living spaces. We believe the new AE320² achieves this and more.”
The AE320² are available from late June from authorised retailers.
