Active Monitor AM 150: Compact and yet so versatile
It is so versatile, the small AM 150 from ELAC. A glowing high tech
core is hiding beneath the silky matte casing. The range of use
seems to be endless for the Active Monitor AM 150, for it has all
the features on board that you normally expect from more
expensive active speakers. You can add it to your media server,
your set-top box, your flat-screen TV as well as your gaming
console or use it as a studio monitor in your home recording setup.
In short, the AM 150 is suitable for every situation where high
quality audio reproduction is needed.
The AM 150 is equipped with a 130 mm fibre enforced paper cone
woofer and a 25 mm silk dome tweeter, thus promising sound
reproduction with a wide frequency range, smooth treble
reproduction and homogeneous directivity. The AM 150 comes
with two built-in amplifiers in class A/B technology for the woofer
(50 W) and the tweeter (25 W).
A look at the rear panel of the AM 150 shows the versatile connection
possibilities for many different signal sources.
The AM 150 can either be connected to symmetrical analogue sources via
XLR or 6.3 mm TRS jacks or to unsymmetrical analogue sources via an
RCA jack.
The highlight is the digital input, which is unique in this class of powered
speakers. It has mastered the globally widespread AES/EBU (XLR jack)
and S/PDIF standards (RCA jack). There is also an RCA jack provided as a
thru connector to daisy chain the S/PDIF signal to the next speaker.
To adapt the Active Monitor AM 150 to different room situations and to personal listening preferences, several filter functions are
provided. The lower frequency range may be damped by a lowshelf filter, which is selectable in 3 modes (0 dB, -2 dB and -4 dB).
This filter can be used to optimise the bass frequency range to different placements of the speaker such as on a desktop,
bookshelf or free standing. Another filter, which is also selectable in 3 modes, may be used to adapt the frequency range of the
AM 150 to a subwoofer. This is a lowcut filter with 3 selectable crossover frequencies (flat, 80 Hz and 100 Hz), which allows an
optimised overlay without disturbing low frequency sound waves in the room.
The third filter function is also selectable in 3 modes and may be used to emphasise or to damp the treble (0 dB, -2 dB and +2
dB).
