Designed with an all-new cabinet and driver setup, these speakers deliver a significant improvement in both sound quality and material construction compared to their predecessor, all while maintaining the same competitive price.
The AE309 Mk2 Gen is engineered to offer a clean, detailed, and dynamic listening experience, making it a perfect choice for audiophiles who demand high-quality sound and stylish design. Whether used for music, movies, or gaming, the AE309 Mk2 Gen delivers exceptional results in a variety of home audio setups.
Advanced Driver Technology for Exceptional Sound
At the heart of the Acoustic Energy AE309 Mk2 Gen Speakers (Pair) are new paper/coconut-fibre bass-mid drivers, developed through Acoustic Energy’s CORINIUM project. These advanced drivers offer an enriched bass response and improved midrange clarity, ensuring a more balanced and natural sound profile.
Alongside these drivers, the AE309 Mk2 Gen incorporates a brand-new Tetoron™ soft dome tweeter, designed for optimal high-frequency response and smooth, detailed treble. This combination of high-performance drivers ensures a more cohesive soundstage with precise low, mid, and high frequencies.
The rear of the speaker features a specially designed slot-shaped duct port that enhances bass output while minimizing air turbulence, delivering a clean, undistorted low-end performance.
Sleek and Modern Cabinet Design
The Acoustic Energy AE309 Mk2 Gen Speakers (Pair) boast a sleek, modern design that integrates easily into any living space. The cabinet is constructed using 18mm constrained-layer RSC™ MDF/bitumen, a material choice that provides an inert, acoustically optimized enclosure.
This construction allows the speaker to deliver greater accuracy and clarity across the entire frequency range. The AE309 Mk2 Gen is available in three stunning finishes: classic walnut, as well as a newly developed ‘silk-touch’ matte black and matte white, which offer a smooth, premium feel.
These finishes are complemented by color-matched trims and grilles, which feature high-quality cloth coverings that enhance the overall aesthetic of the speaker. The result is a visually striking speaker that fits seamlessly into any home decor while maintaining high-end audio performance.
Enhanced Usability and Integration
The AE309 Mk2 Gen Speakers (Pair) are designed to offer both superior audio and practical usability. The new slimline design ensures that these floor-standing speakers occupy minimal space while delivering powerful sound.
They are equipped with aluminum feet and molded spike covers, making them compatible with hard flooring while also protecting surfaces from potential damage. The spike covers ensure stable placement and reduce vibration, further enhancing sound clarity.
These thoughtful design details allow the AE309 Mk2 Gen to integrate effortlessly into various room setups, ensuring an optimal listening experience regardless of your home’s layout or floor type. Whether placed on hardwood, tile, or carpet, the AE309 Mk2 Gen offers reliable performance and seamless integration.
Key Improvements Over the Previous Generation
The Acoustic Energy AE309 Mk2 Gen Speakers (Pair) come with a host of significant improvements over the previous generation. One of the most notable upgrades is the incorporation of the new paper/coconut-fibre bass-mid drivers, which provide enhanced bass response and more detailed midrange frequencies.
These drivers, developed through the CORINIUM project, deliver a richer, more natural sound compared to the previous model. The new Tetoron™ soft dome tweeters further elevate high-frequency performance, ensuring smoother and more accurate treble reproduction.
Additionally, the cabinet has been redesigned using 18mm constrained-layer RSC™ MDF/bitumen, a first at this price point, which contributes to greater rigidity and acoustic accuracy, ensuring a cleaner, more precise soundstage.
Design and Build Enhancements for a Premium Look
In addition to the upgrades in driver technology, the AE309 Mk2 Gen features an entirely redesigned cabinet and aesthetic improvements. The speaker's slimline design has been further refined, offering a cleaner, more modern look that is sure to complement any home decor.
The new ‘silk-touch’ matte black and matte white finishes are crafted from durable vinyl material that offers a smooth, premium feel while maintaining long-lasting durability. The trims and grilles are now color-coded to match the speaker's finish, adding a sophisticated touch.
Additionally, the new AE309 Mk2 Gen features screen-printed logos, replacing the previous transfer stickers, ensuring a more polished and refined appearance. These design changes not only enhance the speaker's aesthetics but also contribute to improved durability and overall performance.
