The latest creation from legendary speaker designer Phil Jones

Phil Jones has been a pioneer in high end audio for over 30 years. His first high end stereo speaker, the Acoustic Energy AE1 Compact Monitor set a benchmark for recording studios and audiophiles alike worldwide. Ever since then Phil Jones has been constantly refining the art of compact loudspeaker design, each decade taking it closer to perfection.  AIRPULSE™ Model One features:

Optional Model One Speaker Stands

The
proprietary features of the AIRPULSE™ Model One are benchmarks in the field of
driver and cabinet design.  From the Hardwood Cherry veneer exterior, the
cabinet is 1″ (25mm) thick with robust internal bracing and acoustic damping to
virtually eliminate cabinet induced coloration from vibration or resonance.
 The rear control panel is black anodized aluminum, inset for a flush,
elegant fit. 

The heart of the Model One is
the 5.5″ Phil Jones Signature Woofer: The dual-layered
hard anodized aluminum
cone is
combined with a large “underhung” (more
expensive) edge-wound voice coil, a neodymium motor to provide a high magnetic flux that covers
the entire voice coil resulting
in 3x to 4x lower
harmonic and inter‐modulation distortion than
conventional “overhung” (less
expensive) designs. 

The
voice-coil is thermally coupled to the aluminum woofer cone, which acts as a
heat sink. This cleverly dissipates heat from building up in the voice-coil,
reducing thermal dynamic compression, enabling the speaker to be played at
higher levels for longer periods of time with no distortion. This is the design
feature that made Phil’s Acoustic Energy AE-1 so famous it became a “classic”
among people who know speakers worldwide. Stereophile Magazine’s John Atkinson
said of the AE1 “…it redefines the art of miniature
speaker design”  in his 1995 review.

The tweeter assembly is marvel
of thinking outside the box.  This new ribbon design is 3″ tall and horn
loaded with phase correction to keep the high frequencies directional and
coherent to the listener, not bouncing off the ceiling, walls, or floors.
 This produces the ideal dispersion pattern, focused over a broad
listening area with enough “throw” to actually reach your ears coherently, the
direct sound of the recording without interference. The result is palpably
realistic stereo imaging, the kind found on full range electrostats. Thats why
I’m in love with this product already!

The Model One lets you listen
to your favorite streaming apps wirelessly via Bluetooth AptX 4.0 from your
SmartPhone or any Bluetooth enabled source, or plug in using the RCA or
Balanced XLR Analog Inputs, or choose between coaxial or optical digital inputs
up to 192K.

What we have here is twice the
performance for half the price, at $995 a pair the AIRPULSE™ Model One is the
best value speaker proposition in the audio industry today.  I believe in
Phil Jones designs, as an owner of the original Acoustic Energy AE-1, I can
give this speaker my highest recommendation, it’s an evolutionary modernization
of the original, dramatically updated with all the latest thinking and all new
parts, from one hell of a speaker designer.  This is a great example of
the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. In my book, its art. It’s
Phil’s art and I dig it. I think you will too.

I’m so sure you’re going to
love the AIRPULSE™ Model One that it comes with a 60
day return privilege; listen to them at home, if you’re
not convinced after listening to them that they’re among the best speakers ever
created, you can return them for a full refund as long as they’re undamaged and
returned complete in the original factory packaging.
