PSI Audio A17-M Studio (Studio Red) – Powerful 2-way nearfield studio monitor delivering 170 W LF + 45 W HF Class A/B amplification, 100% analog signal path, and precision Swiss craftsmanship for reference-quality monitoring.
The A17-M is PSI Audio’s flagship nearfield reference monitor, combining a hand-built 180 mm woofer and 27 mm silk-dome tweeter with CPR phase-aligned crossover technology for an uncompromised stereo image and flat frequency response from 44 Hz to 23 kHz. Individually calibrated in an anechoic chamber, each unit includes its own frequency-response plot. With 115 dB peak SPL, ±80°/±40° dispersion, and user-tunable LF roll-off and input trim, it provides accurate low-end control and transparency without DSP, making it ideal for critical mixing, mastering, and surround LCR monitoring in professional studios.
