TRUE D’APPOLITO
The 214-M was developed to be a compact central speaker with sound pressure maximized more than bandwidth.
A tweeter and 2 woofers in D’Appolito configuration in an extremely compact cabinet but capable of astonishing sound pressure levels.

A214-M – The perfect monitor for surround setups
The A214-M is primarily designed as a centre speaker for surround systems. Its power is optimized to satisfy the requirements of post-production and film mixing suites. The small cabinet allows it to be used in surround systems where space is and issue such as below a screen.
A214-M – WHO IS IT FOR?
Wherever a centre speaker is required, that is where the A214-M belongs. Surround mixing setups of any sort from 5.1 systems to sophisticated immersive audio constructions, a centre speaker is usually required. The A214-M fills this very position perfectly and integrates well with other PSI Audio speakers to create a consistent listening line-up.

What our users say
The A214-M is very identical as the A21-M in terms of power but has the advantage to be installed in horizontal position to gain space under the screen.
