Acoustic Energy AE1 40th Anniversary

In 1987, the loudspeaker world was shaken by the arrival of the Acoustic Energy AE1 – a compact monitor that defied the norms of that time. The AE1 was a revelation: a small speaker that delivered the kind of dynamic range, clarity, and bass extension typically reserved for much larger enclosures.

The original AE1 was born from the vision of a compact speaker that could deliver studio-grade performance without compromise. It was a bold departure from the boxy, inefficient designs of the time – and it worked. The AE1 became a staple in studios and audiophile systems alike.

Now, decades later to celebrate 40 years of this ground-breaking loudspeaker, we’re proud to launch the AE1 40th Anniversary Edition bringing that legacy into the modern era – with cutting-edge engineering and timeless design.
