Airpulse A100 Active Bookshelf Bluetooth Hi-Res Audio Speaker System - White

Be Bold Stand out with the design of our speakers that speak to the modern-day sensibilities with its clean sleek angles. Choose from striking black or stand out red and elegant white. The boldly highlighted cabinet from AirPulse adds a modern-day feel to the décor of the room.

Cabinet Construction:

The A100 cabinet is built WITH 18-mm thick high-strength MDF finished with attractive piano lacquer. To further reduce colouration, the cabinet interior is fully lined with professional waved sound absorption material.
The oval-shaped vent tube in the A100 is carefully designed to minimize wind noise.

Horn-Loaded Ribbon Tweeter: 

The A100 horn-loaded ribbon tweeter inherits the mechanism of the tweeter in our flagship 7001 near-field monitor speaker. The thin aluminium ribbon diaphragm has high sensitivity, superb transient response, extended frequency range and well-defined resolution.
The meticulously formulated horn shape produces directional and optimized high frequencies from the ribbon tweeter, so they are aimed at the listeners, minimizing unwanted effects from room reflection. This also leads to superior imaging of the speaker. The result is full and three dimensional sound with each detail well defined.

This mid-woofer has a 5" aluminum cone, a heavy cast magnesium alloy frame, and a 35mm diameter voice coil. It uses single layer edge-wound copper-clad aluminum ribbon instead of round copper wire, which increases efficiency and lowers distortion. It also features an under-hung motor structure and a high-power neodymium motor for better bass and less distortion. The hyper-rigid cast-magnesium alloy frame reduces speaker coloration and dissipates heat efficiently, leading to increased dynamics and power handling for a satisfying musical experience.

Full Digital Amplifier: 

The power amplification section of the system is made up of two TAS5754 Class-D amplifiers from Texas Instruments. These amplifiers are unique in that they support high input sample rates and high output PWM carrier frequencies, which are crucial for achieving low background noise and low distortion. The up-to 192 kHz input sample rate support ensures that the signal does not need to be resampled during digital processing. The 768 KHz output PWM carrier frequency is twice that of a traditional Class-D amplifier, making it even more suitable for driving the high sensitivity ribbon tweeter. One TAS5754 is used in bridge mode for the left and right channel woofers, while the other is used in bridge mode for the left and right channel ribbon tweeters.

The analogue front end and SPDIF receiver are both equipped with top-of-the-line components from Texas Instrument. The analogue front end uses a special configuration to work at 96 kHz with a frequency response of up to 40 kHz, ensuring low distortion and thorough signal acquisition. To avoid cross-talk, it uses a relay. The SPDIF receiver has a low output jitter and can support input sample rates up to 216 kHz. The unpacked audio signal can be delivered to the XMOS processor with zero loss.

The Bluetooth audio receiver is built on Qualcomm’s Bluetooth chipset, which supports APT-X decoder, and offers a far better audio playback quality than what a traditional Bluetooth SBC codec can present.
The system reserves a subwoofer signal output in case of a situation that needs low-frequency rendering with strong bass. The volume of the subwoofer can be adjusted by the master volume control

Airpulse A100:

Active Bookshelf Speaker system is a perfect combination of uniquely designed conventional loudspeaker and digital system of MOS. Meticulous tuning work enables the theA100to accurately reproduce any type of music. Its XMOS integrated USB function makes life much easier, you can play high-quality sound sources without compression and then enjoy lossless music by simply downloading and installing the software packages.
A100’s independent treble and bass adjustment function can help the user to easily set the brightness of high-frequency and the amount of bass according to the size of the listening environment.
