Yverdon-les-Bains, 31st January 2023 – At ISE 2023, PSI Audio introduces the new updated A215-M mastering monitor. The only floor-standing model from PSI Audio now features the company’s own hand-built tweeter to further improve its sonic capabilities.

Handmade precision tweeter for the A215-M

The updated PSI Audio A215-M features a new tweeter made by hand in the company’s own manufacture in Switzerland, perfectly complementing the true D’Appolito woofer configuration. Following the rule “if you cannot find it, make it”, the developers created their own high-frequency driver to perfectly suit their requirements. As a result, the A215-M reaches a new evolutionary step, providing even more clarity and transparency, further improving on the spectral balance while preserving the outstanding full-range performance of the former iteration. It certainly is the best A215-M the manufacturer has ever made.

A215-M: the floor-standing mastering monitor

The A215-M takes a special place in the PSI Audio portfolio, as it is the only floor-standing speaker by the Swiss manufacturer. True to the brand, it is not a floor-standing speaker like any other: its sleek design comfortably fits into living rooms just as well as it does into professional studios, while its ten-degree angle avoids reflections from the back of the room. Its comprehensive frequency range, ample power capacity and simply stunning sonic performance make the A215-M a perfect fit for mastering applications as well as any critical listening environment – all the way to home listening for discerning audiophiles. The A215-M is utterly unique, and yet unmistakably a PSI Audio speaker with all the fidelity and precision that implies.

Analogue fidelity through proprietary technology

Like the entire range of PSI Audio monitor speakers, the A215-M prides itself on its accurate reproduction of sound. To achieve the acoustic performance the manufacturer is revered for around the world, PSI Audio employs a number of proprietary technologies neatly integrated into the all-analogue, DSP-free design. Compensated Phase Response (CPR) aligns the different drivers for absolute accuracy in terms of time and phase; Adaptive Output Impedance (AOI) monitors membrane movement and corrects it to improve detail and transient accuracy; Class G/H amplifiers efficiently deliver power without colouring the audio signal. All the circuitry and the design of the A215-M are tailor-made to deliver the real thing: unaltered, true-to-life sound.

Swiss-made quality

To get the most out of a great speaker design, it needs to be manufactured to the highest standards. At PSI Audio that means developing, building and calibrating every speaker by hand in the company’s own workshop. Skilled specialists take care of every step of the assembly, from soldering the electronic components to the boards to measuring the final product in the anechoic chamber. PSI Audio products are built to last, professional tools that become longterm partners in the media creation process.

ISE 2023 and availability

PSI Audio introduces the updated A215-M at Integrated Systems Europe ISE 2023 in Barcelona from 31 st January to 3 rd February 2023 at booth 2J500. The A215-M is available immediately.
