APS AEON - Pair

The APS AEON is an active two-way speaker designed for experienced users such as sound engineers, music producers and musicians. The AEON is a balanced, dynamic and detailed monitor featuring the choice of a titanium or soft dome tweeter with an 8" driver. This price is for a pair.

AEON takes full advantage of APS' extended experience in speaker design as well high quality of workmanship. It has some interesting features such as the unique bass controller. In most speakers this electronic extension of the lower range is hard wired. Here the user has the option to bypass it in order to obtain a slightly faster bass response, ideal for use with a sub woofer such as the SUB15.

AEON is the perfect sidekick for all near/mid-field monitoring work, be it a pro recording studio, radio station or a "home studio" - a concept that has since its appearance become the dominant trend.

AEON is designed for stereo or multi-channel systems (5 +1 or 7+1 and larger) such as DOLBY, DTS, THX, etc.
