The structure of Air Pulse A200 Horn loaded Tweeter

Derived from AAD 7001? Saw a picture in inter-asia website. Even has Phil Jones' signature.
Those are expensive speakers, but very highly regarded. Now I'm curious how much this will cost.

yeah how much ah?

Mid-Woofer Technology----- 5.5" aluminum cone low distortion mid-woofer

The 5.5" woofer in the A200 is an aluminum cone/large voice coil signature Phil Jones design. It uses a neodymium motor to provide a high magnetic flux to cover the entire voice coil of the loudspeaker. This is rarely done in speaker construction because of the sheer cost. Majority of loudspeakers use a voice-coil mostly overhung outside the magnetic field . By using a much larger magnetic field in the A200 woofer, we considerably reduce harmonic and inter-modulation distortion, giving the speaker a far more musical and natural sound.

It would be interested to audition this speakers, price around 2K? Worthwhile if got HiFi sound

The A200 cabinet is built from 25mm rigid MDF with cherry wood veneer finished in satin lacquer. Strong internal bracing supports and stabilizes the drivers and eliminates cabinet resonance to minimum. To further reduce coloration, cabinet interior is fully lined with 36mm thick waved sound absorption material.

We know you buy a loudspeaker to do what it does. Not only it has to look good in your home but it is a precision instrument to give you the greatest of joy from listening to music. So we put your money where it matters most: in the sound!

Whats the price like ?

The selling price of A200 is RM2999.

Review soon? This shouldn't be a British sound speakers I assume?

What is "British sound"?

How is it different from a Russian sound speaker?

A great example I believe is the LS 3/5a signature sound, I think that it makes almost everything sound a bit more romantic, soulful, very very pleasant tune, though sacrifice a bit of transparency, dynamic, and neutrality of sound, the LS 3/5a I believe cannot be done via amp or DAC, maybe there are gears that produce that but I'm not sure

Main reason being that different regions have their own take on audio engineering and sound preference.
The Japanese also has their own signature sound. There is this one Hong Kong based British speaker driver manufacturer that had made a driver specifically for the Japanese market, with the input of Japanese audio enthusiasts. The frequency response graph looks nothing like any of their other drivers. One might even say that the speaker driver performs poorly.

They can be enjoyable if put in the right cabinet, but they cannot be used as reference for monitoring.

There is little to no online review available. RM3K is a little steep.

Considering that it uses 1 inch thick MDF, ribbon tweeters, and 5.5 inch aluminium diaphragm woofers with Neodymium magnets and cast aluminium frame, and it is an active speaker with a DSP, it's actually quite alright price wise.

This post has been edited by VagueConcerns: Mar 12 2017, 01:09 AM

The A200 horn loaded tweeter is a true ribbon tweeter. It inherits the mechanism of the tweeter in our flagship 7001i near field monitor, but with an added phase correction device which greatly improves frequency response and increases sound dispersion.

A 65mm length and 0.12mm thick aluminum ribbon is placed between the two large neodymium magnets. Electric current feeds through the ribbon so that it functions like a coil in a conventional loudspeaker. At the same time, the ribbon also acts like a diaphragm as it moves air. The combination of these two functions gives the ribbon tweeter high efficiency and great transient response without delay.

The A200 ribbon tweeter has a very low resistance of about 0.2 Ohm and it works with a transformer. The primary coil of the transformer connects to the amplifier; the secondary coil connects to the ribbon and it is wound of very thick and flat copper wire. The low resistance brings more current through the ribbon thus rise the SPL of high frequency, which leads to wide frequency response.

We construct the A200 tweeter with the highest quality aluminum ribbon, strong Neodymium-Rare Earth magnets material coupled with an appropriate transformer to give it high sensitivity, superb transient response, extended frequency range and ultra high definition.

The unique shape and size of the horn on the A200 tweeter was designed from precision calculation and simulation. Connecting the ribbon tweeter to a horn helps the sound generated by ribbon better coupled to the air. It further increased efficiency, power handling, frequency response and dispersion.

A wide frequency range and good transient response is vital for the reproduction of the dynamics of music such as what you hear in the musical density of symphonic music or jazz ensembles.

The horn loaded ribbon tweeter of A200 offers just the right features: high sensitivity, good transient response, wide frequency band, high resolution. You can now hear every nuance in the music, and enjoy it to the fullest extend.

AirPulse A200 (Model One) vs JBL LSR305 || Sound Demo

This is a big one IMO, AirPulse goes against my long time budget benchmark, the JBL LSR305. Both have similar sized woofers, both have tweeters recessed inside the horn. But that would be the end of similarities. The biggest difference between those two is the price, JBL is around 1/3 of price of AirPulse and it shows everywhere. The build quality, the features, and most importantly the sound quality. AirPulse is better than JBL in every sound category, bass tightness and depth, midrange quality, top end extension and air, soundstageing, You name it. Does it justify the price difference? In my opinion yes, but if You can not afford AirPulse worry not, as JBL is still the king of budget speakers (AirPulse is in a different category altogether because of its price).

AirPulse A200 is fantastically neutral speaker, with open, detailed and transparent sound from top to bottom. Add to that very solid build quality and rich set of features, and suddenly its steep price becomes much more reasonable. I was reluctant to return them, I wish I had them for longer. AirPulse A200 lands on top of my wish list to become my new benchmark speaker soon (gotta start saving those pennies), and from now on I am looking forward to next products from AirPulse and Mr. Phil Jones without any anxiety;) Highly recommended.

The last of series of comparisons starring AirPulse and a transition to KEF X300A series of comparisons. Both speakers are close in price tag, yet they sound quite different. KEF X300A sounds rather dark with emphasis on midrange (with a bit of honky and nasal colorations) but recessed upper ranges, while AirPulse is more linear, neutural and detailed with more present upper midrange and treble. For me AirPulse is a winner here. Signal for this comparison was fed to both via analog inputs from external DAC. Cheers!

Summing up, in some ways I’m not sure what to make of the Airpulse A200s – they are an intriguing mix of cutting edge technology and sound quality along with a few elements that you need to think carefully about. First audition the top end and make sure the balance is one you can live with. The active format with umbilical cable is an unusual configuration – does it work in your set up? It is always good when a product arrives that shakes up expectations – and the A200s are a breath of fresh air in monitor speakers, loaded with facilities, beautifully finished and with some outstanding audio strengths. And for the level of performance they are not at all expensive, isn’t that the definition of a bargain?

When I think of expensive toys, it’s not just phones that get me excited. How about some dope home studio/office stuff? This year, I’m focusing more on audio goodness, and to help, I’ve been using a set of Airpulse A100 studio monitors from Edifier. Not only do they have exceptional high-res audio support, but a load of ways to set them up is what has me most excited about them. These monitors allow for audio connections via Bluetooth, 3.5mm, USB, as well as Optical/Coaxial. If you produce music or videos at home, or in your office, I would definitely recommend a pair.

Anywhere I can listen to the A100 and A200?

You can test the A200 in Star Picker's showroom.

AirPulse A100 is smallest of new AirPulse lineup, but in my opinion it is the best of them. Today we will compare it with JBL LSR305. As with bigger A300 and A200, smaller A100 is very well build, but it is also much more compact and stylish. It also looks and feels much better than JBL LSR305 but that is expected when looking at the price difference.

Do you know how the speakers connect between them? They are wireless or wired?

Wired

AirPulse A100 Bluetooth speakers put Hi-Fi sound into a smaller footprint.

In all, the AirPulse A100 speakers are exceptionally well made, especially for their size. The decision to go with ribbon tweeters is welcome and you would be hard pressed to find similar quality in bookshelf sized speakers at this price point.

The A300s are a mid-priced active speaker packing powerful class D amplification, quality components and plenty of features into a pair of solid and well finished enclosures. Their price and size places them in a segment of the market where there is a great deal of competition, but they compare very favourably to models far beyond their price. Highly recommended.

The price of the A300 on that well‑known online retail site puts it right at the entry level for serious active monitoring. As such it has competition from the likes of Dynaudio, PreSonus, HEDD and Focal, to name just four of many. At the price, however, there's really not much else that can beat the A300's seductive mid‑range and bass bandwidth.
