If you’re looking for a flagship pair of bookshelf speakers, you really should tune into the AE500 - And with our 6 year Supercover - you have peace of mind.

Legendary speaker brand

Famous for their build quality and sound for over three decades, Acoustic Energy have launched the Flagship 500 series - the AE500 is a compact stand-mount bookshelf speaker and the introduction to the series

Hear the sound – precisely as it should be
Pioneering metal cone technology has meant these speakers did, and still do, sound incredibly precise and neutral. Dynamic and low in distortion, these speakers let you hear every last drop of detail – just as the artist intended. The 500 series features Acoustic Energy's newly developed carbon fibre HF unit and mid bass driver.

Improved damping
To further improve the sound, Acoustic Energy have researched the effects of improved self-damping and integrated the results into the AE500 & AE509 for a smoother and more transparent sound.

Studio compatible
Acoustic Energy’s studio heritage makes these speakers just as happy in a small studio as a home environment acting as a reference passive near field  monitor.

Choice of luxury finishes
Available in Piano gloss black, white or real walnut wood veneer, the AE500 speakers look every bit as good as they sound. Slim profile, magnetically attached grilles are also included for a more discreet style.

Pure Performance
Offering unparalled levels of performance, quality and value the result is an audio product with clean, uncluttered lines delivering a thrilling and powerful presentation that the discerning AE owner has come to expect for over 30 years.

For home or home studio, the Acoustic Energy AE1 speakers are simply the best monitor speakers in their class.
