EXTENDED DOME DRIVER

The midrange
without a blind spot.

The hand-built EXD midrange driver combines cone control with dome speed. Together with the handmade tweeter and flat frequency response, it delivers lower distortion, higher SPL and the precise stereo image required for critical listening.

INDIVIDUALLY CALIBRATED

Flat by design.
Proven by measurement.

Every A226-MAIN is individually measured and calibrated in PSI Audio’s full-size anechoic chamber. Each monitor leaves the factory with its own frequency-response certificate – a unique record of its Swiss-made precision.

Example of an individual calibration curve. The certificate supplied with each monitor reflects that specific unit.

01

FLAT RESPONSE

Accuracy before character.

A studio monitor should reveal the mix, not flatter it. The A226-MAIN maintains a neutral frequency balance so engineers can judge level, EQ, dynamics and spatial placement without boosted bass, softened mids or artificial brilliance.

HANDMADE IN SWITZERLAND

Precision built by hand.

Every A226-MAIN is developed, assembled, measured and individually calibrated at PSI Audio in Switzerland. Components are matched and adjusted by skilled specialists so tolerances cancel each other instead of accumulating.
