Loudspeakers
Audio Note’s seemingly modest speakers have earned the coveted title of ‘best in the world’ through a unique approach that focuses on clever acoustic coupling—a vital but often underestimated aspect in loudspeaker design. Prepare to experience music in a whole new light, where the world of high-end audio becomes an exciting and fulfilling pursuit.
The result of our quest to deliver a compact, easy to drive speaker.

AX One
In our quest to deliver a compact, easy-to-drive speaker with a good room interface, we have reinvestigated and reevaluated all the main principles of compact designs. Coupled with our expertise in system dispersion and associated crossover design, this effort has resulted in a speaker system that not only redefines the quality-price relationship at any level (which is important when making basic comparisons to the competition) but, more importantly, the AX Series speakers offer an emotional quotient of reproduced acoustic performances that is quite in a class of its own.
Don’t be fooled by their size or price. This speaker successfully outclasses any speaker in the same price range (or considerably higher) on the market when it comes to what matters… Musical Reproduction.

The AZ-Two Deluxe is a floor standing, rear loaded, folded quasi parabolic horn design with a rear facing mouth.

AZ Two Deluxe
It is very efficient and offers the amplifier an easy ‘load’, making it highly suitable for our range of superior quality, low powered valve amplifiers.
As a company, our main aim is to design and manufacture equipment that provides the maximum sonic performance for the price, and to achieve this we use many unconventional solutions. In our quest to deliver an affordable, compact, high sensitivity, wide frequency response loudspeaker to suit ‘real world’ rooms, we re-investigated and re-evaluated the main principles of rear loaded horn cabinet design. This research, coupled with our expertise in driver, cabinet and crossover development, has resulted in a loudspeaker that not only redefines the quality / price relationship, but more importantly offers an emotionally engaging performance that is quite in a class of its own.
If you examine the vast majority of conventional loudspeaker designs, you will discover that they have very poor acoustic impedance characteristics, resulting in low efficiency. In contrast, a correctly designed horn loaded system allows the acoustic impedance to be optimised for the driver across several octaves, resulting in higher efficiency and better dynamic power transfer from the amplifier.
However, horn designs are not without their challenges, and one of the greatest problems is physical size. For a simple horn the lower cut-off frequency is directly proportional to the effective diameter of the mouth; a cut-off frequency at - 3dB of 50Hz, would require a horn with a mouth area of 3.8 square meters.
Clearly unsuitable for most domestic purposes!
So, we had to find a method of reducing the size requirement whilst maintaining the low frequency response. By re-configuring the size and shape of the rear horn flare, the (increasingly capacitive) throat impedance is off-set to a point below the cut-off frequency. This, combined with positioning the loudspeaker in close proximity to a corner further reduces the radiation impedance, and effectively increases the bass horn moth area by a factor of around x16 (x8 when placed against a rear wall), which provides a substantial boost at low frequencies.
As with all Audio Note (UK) loudspeakers, no corners have been cut in terms of component and driver quality despite the modest price of the AZ-Two Deluxe. Both the bass driver and tweeter are high quality units (the bass unit being the same as that found in the more affordable AN-J and AN-E; the tweeter is the same as is used in our AN-K models), and are combined with a heavy-duty crossover featuring air core inductors, Audio Note (UK) silver plated speaker terminals and Audio Note (UK) AN-D internal wiring.

AN-J/D
The AN-J models offer higher sensitivity and better bass performance, combined with a more dynamic presentation than the AN-K, in an enclosure that is about three times the volume. The AN-J is a ported enclosure with an efficiency better than 93 dB/m and bass that goes down to 25 Hz at -6 dB.
The AN-J is capable of reproducing the scale and intensity of most well-recorded music very realistically.

AN-E/D
The AN-E is a two-way, ported enclosure, with a carefully designed cabinet which is shaped to enhance and aid driver dispersion on one hand, and bass output on the other. The cabinet is lightly braced and little internal damping is used. The cabinet is designed in such a way that it augments and supports the drivers in their task, not unlike the box of a guitar. The drivers are selected and paired before they are matched to the crossover in the same process as the AN-K and AN-J.
