Inspired by the original AE1 from 1987, this anniversary model keeps the spirit of a small speaker with remarkable punch, speed and clarity, while updating the design with modern drivers, cabinet construction and crossover engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts two-way design combines a 29 mm anodised aluminium dome tweeter with a 125 mm spun hard-anodised aluminium mid\/bass driver. This all-metal driver arrangement helps the AE1 40th Anniversary deliver crisp detail, strong dynamics and a lively, engaging presentation from a compact cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cabinet uses Acoustic Energy’s RSC™ constrained-layer HDF and bitumen construction, with internal bracing and twin front reflex ports. This helps reduce unwanted resonance while giving the speaker impressive bass weight and scale for its size, making it suitable for serious stereo systems where space is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinished in High Gloss Walnut or High Gloss Black with magnetic cloth grilles, the AE1 40th Anniversary combines classic monitor heritage with a more luxurious modern finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCelebrates the classic AE1 monitor with a modernised compact speaker design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDelivers a fast, detailed and dynamic sound that feels larger than its cabinet size suggests\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e29 mm aluminium dome tweeter provides crisp, extended high-frequency detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e125 mm hard-anodised aluminium mid\/bass driver gives music strong punch and clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront reflex ports make placement easier than many rear-ported standmount speakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSC™ constrained-layer cabinet construction helps reduce unwanted resonance for a cleaner sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnetic cloth grilles give a neat, flexible look for different room styles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact size makes it ideal for stands, shelves or smaller listening rooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in High Gloss Walnut and High Gloss Black colour options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 years standard manufacturer's warranty, extendable to 5 years when registered with Acoustic Energy in the UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv id=\"hb-acoustic-energy-ae1-40th-anniversary-panel-2\" class=\"hb-panel\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Passive standmount \/ bookshelf loudspeaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: 2-way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCabinet: 18–22 mm RSC™ constrained-layer HDF\/bitumen construction with bracing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePorting: Twin front reflex ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTweeter: 29 mm anodised aluminium dome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMid\/Bass Driver: 125 mm spun hard-anodised aluminium cone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrilles: Magnetic cloth grilles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerformance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Range: 50 Hz – 45 kHz, ±6 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity: 87 dB \/ m \/ 2.83 V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNominal Impedance: 6 Ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Handling: 150 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrossover Frequency: 2.8 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (H × W × D): 295 × 180 × 240 mm per speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 7 kg per speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable Colours: High Gloss Walnut and High Gloss Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcoustic Energy AE1 40th Anniversary bookshelf loudspeakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnetic cloth grilles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct documentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Acoustic Energy","offers":[{"title":"High Gloss Walnut","offer_id":57351673151875,"sku":null,"price":1499.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"High Gloss Black","offer_id":57351673184643,"sku":null,"price":1499.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0160\/4606\/3670\/files\/ae1-40th-anniversary-walnut-white-background-scaled_1-Photoroom.png?v=1770743339","url":"https:\/\/www.holburnonline.co.uk\/products\/acoustic-energy-ae1-40th-anniversary-bookshelf-loudspeakers","provider":"Holburn Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
