A1
A1 is a compact actively driven passive 3-way speaker system. It consists of 15” neodymium magnet low frequency driver, 6.5” cone driver loaded multi-path waveguide and two 0.65” exit compression drivers loaded with dual exit waveguides.
15” low frequency driver is loaded with narrow-Q band-pass horn for extra sensitivity which actually equals two front loaded 15” drivers in SPL over 80-300Hz. With an enclosure not more than the size of single 15” driver this design sets a new bench mark for SPL to size ratio to compact full range speakers.
The heart of A1 is M6 mid frequency driver consisting of 6.5” neodymium magnet cone driver loaded with internationally patented multi-path waveguide. Not only does this technology increase the sensitivity some 10dB but M6 sound channels also cancel harmonics making distortion levels at max SPL between 10-20dB lower than standard speaker systems equal size. M6 also features wide horizontal beam width and high cut off frequency of 4kHz making it possible to use small diaphragm lightweight compression drivers for high frequencies for increased sensitivity and detail. A1 is driven with Aura Audio D2w.A1 powered controller. D2w.A1 features 2 in 4 out matrix with analog filtering, optical limiters and ultra high quality class-D amplifiers powered by high efficiency switch-mode power supply.
