A21-M Midfield Monitor
Perfectly accurate mid-field monitor
|
The A21-M high power near / mid-field precision monitor covers a broad frequency spectrum, allowing the user to be in full control of their audio production. Its unique and highly optimized assets make it perfect for near, mid-field and surround sound applications where ultimate precision is required. The powerful bi-amplified output stages features the unique “AOI” output stages and has a protection circuit, which can be monitored via the red LED on the front panel.
The active crossover, with integrated “CPR”, gives the A21-M unprecedented impulse behavior – with excellent stereo imaging. The crossover is also optimized for maximum phase coherence, projecting a wide horizontal and vertical ideal listening area. |
The electronics are housed in a unit mechanically isolated from the speaker cabinet to avoid resonance at high sound pressure levels. Designed to work in harmony with the full range of A series monitors the A21-M also makes ideal front speakers in a surround sound setup, or can be developed in to a more powerful system by adding the A225-M sub – thus protecting your investment.

"You simply can't work with bad speakers, it’s pointless. The loudspeaker is the heart of music production, transporting audio so that it really gets into the ear. I use A21-M from PSI Audio and I am absolutely happy with 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 A21-M: Our compact Sub A125-M or – 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 A21-M Broadcast.
Options
- Compact subwoofer A125-M – Add more power, more low end. A125-M perfectly matches an A14-M pair.
- Subwoofer A225-M – More low end (24Hz), more power for your A14-M setup.
- Gig bag – Are you travelling with your A14-M? our gig bag will perfectly protect them and you can easily carry 2 units alone. Handmade in USA.
- Grill protection – are you using your A21-M in a public space, in broadcast use or at home? protect the tweeter and woofer with our adapted grill.
- Brackets – do you need to use your A21-M suspended on a wall or on a fixation system? just add a bracket to fix them anywhere.
