The AIRPULSE A60 active speaker features a planar diaphragm tweeter driven by a neodymium magnet, offering exceptional transient response and low phase distortion.
It incorporates a 3.5-inch aluminum-alloy cone woofer with a large ferrite magnet and a 30mm voice coil, ensuring high-speed response.
Powered by Texas Instruments TAS5754 Class-D amplifiers, the A60 delivers 30W x 2 for woofers and 10W x 2 for tweeters.
The AIRPULSE A60 exemplifies the meticulous engineering typical of designs spearheaded by Phil Jones, renowned for his work on professional-grade monitors like the Acoustic Energy AE-1. This heritage is evident in the planar ribbon tweeter, which employs a unique printed voice coil directly on the diaphragm. This design eliminates phase distortion often associated with dome tweeters, resulting in a precise and dynamic high-frequency response. Coupled with the high-speed aluminum-alloy cone woofer, the A60 demonstrates a commitment to coherence across the frequency spectrum—an essential trait for nearfield listening environments.
Underpinning the speaker's performance are advanced amplification technologies. The Texas Instruments TAS5754 Class-D amplifiers operate at an exceptional 768kHz PWM carrier frequency, twice the standard rate of conventional Class-D amplifiers. This high-frequency operation complements the flat-panel tweeter’s precision and ensures minimal noise artifacts, while the DSP-driven electronic crossover and speaker correction refine the system’s output. The inclusion of components like WIMA capacitors and Transparent cables further solidifies the A60’s audiophile-grade credentials, ensuring signal purity and faithful reproduction.
The cabinet design also reflects a focus on acoustic integrity. Constructed from 15mm MDF with wave-shaped internal foam, the enclosure minimizes unwanted resonances and standing waves, providing a clean, uncolored soundstage. This attention to detail extends to its port tuning, where a rear elliptical port optimizes airflow for smoother bass response. Compact yet robust, the A60’s design balances functionality with aesthetics, making it a versatile choice for discerning listeners seeking professional-grade performance in a home setting.
