ACOUSTIC ENERGY NEO 4

Published: Wednesday, May 11, 2011
In what may have seemed like an exercise in futility Acoustic Energy recently embarked upon the quest to improve on their award winning Neo range. In order to do this the experts at their Gloucester base began work on developing the Neo 4, a floorstanding option that delivers more power and more bass than its predecessor.
The success of this endeavour is testament to the audio acumen of Acoustic Energy and with the Neo 4 they have managed the seemingly impossible by making the Neo range even more appealing. The new loudspeaker marries a substantially built triple-ported 70-litre cabinet with AE’s 38mm wide-bandwidth dual ring radiator tweeter and AE’s signature 5.25in aluminium alloy mid-range driver. Bass duties of this true three-way design are handled by a pair of 6.5in bass drivers also featuring AE’s ultra lightweight and truly pistonic aluminium alloy cones. This imposing floorstander boasts 200W power handling, 91dB/watt efficiency and a highly linear frequency response from 28Hz to 40kHz.
AE chief designer Mat Spandl comments: “The Neo 4 presented a big challenge in creating a large yet affordable loudspeaker that would embody the high-energy musicality for which the existing Neo range has been praised. A very heavyweight cabinet with ultra-thick baffle was required to ensure tight and potent bass response down to very low frequencies. Twin LF drivers were chosen to deliver greater linearity and speed than could be achieved using less-expensive single driver and ABR configurations seen on competitor models.”
Available now the Neo 4 can be purchased as stereo pair for £699.00 or as a part of the complete 7.1 Neo Max surround sound package for £1900.
