Congratulations on choosing the Acoustic Energy AESPRIT
301, a powerful two-way rear channel speaker which features
metal diaphragm technology and is capable of outstanding
performance. Please take a few moments to read this
manual. The advice it contains will enable you to get the very
best performance out of your Acoustic Energy loudspeakers.

The AESPRIT 301 utilises metal cone mid-bass drive unit technology,
proven in the AE Reference series. The rigid anodised alloy cone ensures
pure piston action and also acts as a heat sink for the bonded voice coil.
These features provide exceptional clarity, transparency, dynamics and
power handling.

The tweeter - or treble driver - is a high-quality neodymium unit with a
silk fabric dome integrating smoothly with the rest of the system.

All drive units are fully magnetically shielded so that the speakers
can be used in close proximity to a TV screen or monitor for AV
applications.

The Acoustic Energy AESPRIT 301 loudspeaker uses quality OFC internal
wiring, which enhances detail and transparency. 

Rigid support in close proximity to large, solid boundaries (ie. walls)
is essential for the speaker to develop its full detail and dynamic
performance.

The brackets supplied will make full use of this “boundary effect”
which uses the large surface area of a wall to compensate for the
compact size of the speaker. The two rubber feet (also supplied)
should be stuck to the bottom rear corners of the cabinet to hold it
slightly off the wall and allow access for speaker cable. If the Aesprit
301s are shelf mounted the support must be firm; cones are
recommended beneath the cabinets.
Experiment with the best position to achieve a full yet clean bass
response. Trust your judgement and ears.

Aesprit 301s are designed to be used with their grilles left in place.
For best stereo imaging the speakers should be as far apart as they
are from the listening position.
