Whatever story you need to tell, the A17-M helps you get your message across – a friend you should definitely listen to.

“Performance far higher than similar sized monitors – tonally extremely accurate and neutral. These speakers are extraordinary and deliver a level of performance and accuracy that vanishingly few two‑way designs can match, and which would shame a great many three‑way offerings. Auditioning is highly recommended for serious high‑end monitoring applications.

 – Hugh Robjohns – Sound-on-Sound UK

​Perfect Stereo Image

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.

Handmade Tweeter

What do you do when you cannot find a driver appropriate for the sonic accuracy you want to achieve with your speaker?

​At PSI Audio, we decided to just build our own then. The tweeter used in the A17-M is unique, our own development, and built by hand in our Swiss workshop. Superior to any market-bought solutions, our tweeter offers unparalleled clarity, subtlety and fidelity.  It took a lot of time and effort to create this tweeter – certainly a lot more than buying one from an international supplier would have. But the result is absolutely worth it.

Extend the low frequencies and add power

Use one of PSI Audio’s Subwoofer / LFE to add more energy and low end to your A17-M:

• Our compact Sub A125-M
• our full range Sub A225-M

Thanks to our Roll-Off technology, both Sub A125-M & Sub A225-M are designed to perfectly match the A17-M.

A17-M – Who is it for?

Compact in size yet stunningly powerful, the A17-M can be employed in virtually any scenario that requires accuracy and fidelity, from producing and recording to mixing and even mastering.

​Handmade in Switzerland

All our products are handcrafted in Switzerland with passion and attention to detail.

Manufacturing by hand allows to match and adjust components so that tolerances cancel each other out instead of building up, as is often the case in industrial production.
