Continuing our legacy in consumer and professional audio products, our brand new AirPulse A200 powered speaker combines reference monitor sound quality and timeless retro styling. Guided by our design philosophy of perfection by simplicity and efficiency, a considerable amount of research time was spent on designing and selecting each sub-components in the A-200, including cabinet construction, speaker drivers, amplifier circuitry, and internal wiring to name a few. Not one minor detail was left unattended during the creation process on even the smallest component, which all in all contribute to the A-200's impeccable performance.
The A200 is a feast to the eyes with its beautiful natural wood grain cabinet. It is most importantly, and not surprisingly, a feast to your ears too. It accurately reproduces music with pure and extended high frequency, detailed and full mid range, and solid bass notes.
The A200 is our latest offering to the most discerning audiophiles and music lovers. It will bring you to a whole new level of listening experience and you will fall in love with music all over again.
Tweeter
The A200 horn loaded tweeter is a true ribbon tweeter. It has inherited the mechanism of the tweeter in our flagship 7001i near field monitor, with an added phase correction device which greatly improves frequency response and increases sound dispersion.
A 65mm length and 0.12mm thick aluminum ribbon is placed between the two large neodymium magnets. Electric current feeds through the ribbon so that it functions like a coil in a conventional loudspeaker. At the same time, the ribbon also acts like a diaphragm as it moves air. The combination of these two functions give the ribbon tweeter high efficiency and great transient response without delay.
The A200 ribbon tweeter has a very low resistance of about 0.2 Ohm and it works with a transformer. The primary coil of the transformer connects to the amplifier; the secondary coil connects to the ribbon and is wound of very thick and flat copper wire. The low resistance brings more current through the ribbon thus rising the SPL of high frequency, which leads to wider frequency response.
We constructed the A200 tweeter with the highest quality aluminum ribbon, strong Neodymium-rare earth magnets material coupled with an appropriate transformer to give it high sensitivity, superb transient response, extended frequency range and ultra high definition.
The unique shape and size of the horn on the A200 tweeter was designed through precision calculation and simulation. Connecting the ribbon tweeter to a horn helps the sound generated by ribbon coupled better to the air. It further increased efficiency, power handling, frequency response and dispersion.
A wide frequency range and good transient response is vital for the reproduction of the dynamics of music such as what you hear in the musical density of symphonic music or jazz ensembles. The horn loaded ribbon tweeter of A200 offers just the right features: high sensitivity, good transient response, wide frequency band, high resolution. You can now hear every nuance in the music, and enjoy it to the fullest extent.
Mid-Woofer
The 5.5" woofer in the A200 is an aluminum cone/large voice coil signature Phil Jones design. It uses a neodymium motor to provide a high magnetic flux to cover the entire voice coil of the loudspeaker. This is rarely done in speaker construction because of the sheer cost. Majority of loudspeakers use a voice-coil mostly overhung outside the magnetic field . By using a much larger magnetic field in the A200 woofer, we considerably reduce harmonic and inter -modulation distortion, giving the speaker a far more musical and natural sound.
The Proprietary Aluminum Alloy Cone ( PAAC) was designed from painstaking analysis of all types of cone geometry and materials using a Klippel Laser Doppler Interferometer: A precision scientific measuring instrument that analyses cone behavior in 3D environment.
The voice coil in A200 woofer is unconventionally larger than most 5.5" loudspeakers. Larger voice coils have less power compression because they run at a cooler operating temperature. Sonically this means a more realistic dynamic representation of the music.
It is dynamics in music that gives it emotion and exhilaration. The cooler running temperature of the voice coil also brings a benefit of reliability and extremely rare driver failure.
Most loudspeakers use round copper wire in the voice coil. The A200 uses a far better single layer edge-wound copper clad aluminum ribbon. Ribbon voice-coil wire gives more electrical conductor in the magnet gap and increases efficiency, power handling and lowers distortion.
For optimum performance without compromise, the A200 woofer uses a hyper-rigid cast -magnesium alloy frame. Its increased rigidity greatly reduces speaker coloration, and its material helps to dissipate heat efficiently from the voice coil much faster than a typical steel speaker frame, all of which lead to increased dynamics and power handling and ultimately,a much more satisfying musical experience.
The Amplifier Technology
The result is you will only hear music , not speakers in a box.
The A200 amplifier was designed to work precisely with the components of this remarkable speaker. It uses Digital Signal Processing ( DSP) to match blend both woofer, tweeter and enclosure to work as "ONE".
With a full digital processing structure, A200’s electronic system offers connectivity up to 5 different sources, which makes it sufficient for most modern music playback applications. Signal through the two analog inputs, one balanced and one single ended, are converted into the system by two high quality ADC chips, PCM1802 and PCM1804, both from Texas Instrument. PCM1802 takes the single end analog signal, and it features a typical -96 dB THD+N, 105dB SNR and 105dB Dynamic Range; while PCM1804 takes the balanced analog signal with an even higher spec, typical -102 dB THD+N, 111dB SNR and 112dB Dynamic Range.
On the digital side, both the optical and coaxial signal goes through an audio front end receiver chip, PCM9211 from Texas Instrument. This audio front end supports up to 216K input sample rate.
For the convenience of music playback, the A200 offers a built-in Bluetooth receiver for A2DP application. The receiver features CSR8645 chipset from Cambridge Silicon Radio. Though designed for more casual music playback, the receiver supports apt-X codec for an even better Bluetooth audio quality.
The processing core of A200 is two pieces of TLV320AIC3254 from Texas Instrument. The miniDSP inside the chip offer two parallel signal path for high frequency and low frequency independently. The miniDSP accepts input signal with up to 192KHz sample rate. Signal processing like electronic crossover, speaker compensation, dynamic range management are all done by the miniDSP.

Like many high quality audio equipment, the amplifier front panel on the A-200 is made with 3mm thick blushed aluminum. The CNC machined solid aluminum knob is not only elegant looking but also our own unique design with ergonomic and functionality in mind. Such fine details again reflect our pursuit of refinement and excellence.
