PSI Audio Active 14-M Broadcast Red

Product description

Active 20-way audio monitor with AOI and CPR

Many producers and audio professionals around the world appreciate the A14-M for its outstanding sound quality, particularly when considering the size of the speaker. With a woofer size of only 147 mm (less than 6 inches), the small reference monitor manages to create an astonishingly accurate sound image with a surprising reach in the low end. It features all the proprietary PSI Audio technology known from the larger models: Adaptive Output Impedance, Compensated Phase Response, the Class G/H amplifiers, the Acoustic Load Guide. However, it manages to put all this technology and sonic precision into a very compact enclosure, making it the perfect monitor for small environments and mobile applications.

New tweeter developed and made in-house
Always eager to improve, PSI Audio revisited the concept of the A14-M and found a way to enhance its performance even further - by creating its own tweeter in-house. The smaller a driver, the more critical its design and manufacturing become. "The weakest part of the A14-M was the tweeter", PSI Audio CEO Roger Roschnik states. "We therefore decided to develop and manufacture our own tweeter, like we do for other models." A step remarkably different from other manufacturers who generally tend to outsource ever growing parts of their production. To achieve the precision and quality PSI Audio stands for, optimal control over the various steps of development and manufacturing are paramount. The in-house production of the A14-M tweeter is consistent with the company's general philosophy.

Great performance in a small housing
If the A14-M already excited users around the globe before, the new version is sure to recruit new fans from all fields of professional audio production. With its new tweeter, the updated A14-M provides even finer high frequency reproduction, adding to the overall precision of the monitor and granting even more insight into what is happening in the material. Higher SPL and lower distortion figures further emphasize that this update produces the best A14-M ever.

A testament to quality manufacturing
With its increased performance, the new A14-M further enhances the PSI Audio portfolio of high-precision active monitor speakers. Developed, built and calibrated in the company's manufacture in Switzerland, all PSI Audio speakers are designed as perfectly integrated systems with all parts working together. Relying very little on market solutions and creating almost everything in-house, the manufacturer is able to provide the best sound, build quality and reliability possible by optimising the interaction of all components. While other manufacturers may try and correct the drivers with electronics, PSI Audio firmly believes that perfection of the whole can only be achieved through perfection of the parts and builds its own perfectly designed drivers.
