PSI Audio introduces a variation of their A226-MAIN, the active analogue monitor for high-end studio sound. The all-new A226-MAIN APA-700 features the same sophisticated driver configuration and proprietary technology, but utilizes an external Analogue Power Amplifier (APA). The separate electronics can be placed up to five meters away from the speaker, so roll-off, level, and standby can be easily accessed for wall-embedded A226-MAIN. The unit is compatible with 19-inch racks and therefore seamlessly integrates into any professional studio.
APA-700 for easy access and control
The APA-700 takes the electronics from the A226-MAIN and turns them into a remote amplifier. The 3U 19-inch-rack-compatible unit allows for up to five meters of distance between speaker and electronics through a proprietary connection, which makes it perfect for controlling wall-embedded A226-MAIN in professional studios. The APA-700 provides rotary knobs for roll-off and level. The device can also be activated or deactivated through a dedicated standby button.
Sound fidelity at its best
While the APA-700 outsources the amplification section of the PSI Audio A226-MAIN, the speaker itself remains unchanged and delivers the outstanding fidelity the Swiss manufacturer is known for. The newly developed aluminium coil dome tweeter accurately depicts every detail in the high-frequency range. It is carefully paired with the renowned EXD midrange driver from PSI Audio and the two 10-inch woofers with double flow guide bass reflex, which make the A226-MAIN a mighty main monitoring system with an accurate representation of transients whilst delivering a clean and powerful low end.
Modular proprietary technology
As the flagship monitor speaker, the A226-MAIN combines all the proprietary technology that already gave the other PSI Audio speaker models their impressively accurate sound properties. The all-analogue APA-700 honours that tradition by powering the speakers with high SPL output and low distortion. In combination with the Compensated Phase Response (CPR) for perfectly aligned audio reproduction, and the Adaptive Output Impedance (AOI) that monitors membrane movement and optimizes transients, the A226-MAIN APA-700 meets even the highest criteria of demanding listening situations.
Swiss precision manufacturing quality
Like all PSI Audio products, the A226-MAIN APA-700 is developed, built, and calibrated entirely by well-trained specialists in the company’s own manufacture in Switzerland. From the careful selection of components to the final assembly of each unit, every step in the production process is executed with the world-famous Swiss precision.
