“I found the top end of the new A17-M monitors to be incredibly open, dimensional and ultra-detailed, yet lovely and natural. The low-end presentation could be what really impresses me most about these monitors.”

– Paul Vnuk Jr., RECORDING

Design and Production Like No Other

Stereo is more than just volume differences between the left and right channels. Phase relations are paramount to determine the accurate position of a signal in the acoustic space – and hence equally important in the development of PSI Audio speakers.

The accurate phase alignment provided by PSI Audio CPR technology recreates the vivid spatial listening experience as it was intended. Instrument placement, reverb envelopes, even compression artefacts are easy to identify with the phase-corrected reproduction of PSI Audio speakers.

Designed to work in harmony with the full range of A series monitors the PSI A17-M Audio also makes ideal rear speakers in a surround sound setup.

The tweeter used in the A17-M is unique, PSI Audio’s own development and built by hand in Switzerland. Superior to any market-bought solutions, this tweeter offers unparalleled clarity, subtlety and fidelity.

The PSI Audio A17-M incorporates the full range of PSI Audio’s outstanding technologies in a compact form. The powerful bi-amplified output features the unique “AOI” output stages, while the active crossover, with integrated “CPR”, delivers unprecedented impulse behaviour – with excellent stereo imaging.

The combination of AOI along with other PSI Audio technologies like Compensated Phase Response, means that the outcome is utterly exceptional sonic performance.
