What Reviewers Are Saying
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 88/100
The available professional review gives the A300PRO an unequivocally positive overall verdict, describing it as suited equally to studio and hi-fi use without compromise. It does not provide detailed frequency-by-frequency listening notes, so its particular tonal and spatial strengths are not fully documented.
Bass
88/100
The review's uncompromising overall studio-and-hi-fi endorsement supports a strong low-frequency assessment, and it identifies no bass-related concern. It does not directly discuss extension, control, or room interaction, so there is limited detail on how the 6.5-inch design performs with especially demanding deep-bass material.
Mid
88/100
A speaker considered equally at home in studio and hi-fi contexts should deliver convincing everyday clarity and coherence, and the reviewer reports no compromise in that broad assessment. Direct comments on vocal texture, instrumental timbre, and midrange warmth or neutrality are absent.
Treble
88/100
The review's very favorable overall conclusion gives no indication of glare, roughness, or other high-frequency issue. However, it does not specifically describe the horn-loaded ribbon tweeter's air, delicacy, or behavior with bright recordings.
Soundstage Imaging
87/100
The A300PRO's broad studio-and-hi-fi approval suggests a presentation that satisfies in serious listening as well as monitoring use. The review does not offer direct observations on image focus, stage depth, speaker disappearance, or placement sensitivity.
Dynamics
88/100
The reviewer finds no compromise in the A300PRO's suitability across studio and hi-fi applications, a favorable indication for musical drive and general headroom. There are no specific listening comments about transient attack, large-scale swings, or maximum clean output.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
80/100
The supplied review does not discuss cabinet finish, resonance control, driver execution, connections, or long-term durability. The product information describes substantial, well-equipped active speakers, but the available review offers little direct assessment of their construction.
Value for Money
85/100
At an asking price of roughly $1,799 to $2,300, the A300PRO competes with premium active and compact hi-fi speaker options. The reviewer strongly endorses its studio-and-hi-fi capability, but does not directly compare its price or value against competing models.

Manufacturer's Description — Airpulse
DUAL ACTIVE HOME STUDIO MONITOR
OVERVIEW
The cabinet of A300Pro is finished with a conservatively elegant walnut wood veneer. Sonically, it has the same horn-loaded aluminum ribbon tweeter but improved 6.5-inch aluminum cone, low distortion woofer in the A300.
The power supply and amplifiers in the left and right speaker of the A300Pro is completely symmetrical. Each speaker has an internal 150W high-efficiency, low-ripple switching power supply.
Using a Texas Instrument digital power amplifier TPA3251, each cabinet has woofer output power no less than 120W and tweeter output at 10W. The speakers also use XMOS xCore200 multi-core processor, and Texas Instruments’ TLV320AIC3268 digital processor.
The interconnection of the left and right speaker uses KleerNet wireless transmission technology. It uses Qualcomm QCC3031 series 5.0 Bluetooth chipset and supports AptX HD high-fidelity codec, so that Bluetooth technology can be used with minimal signal loss.
The A300Pro cabinet is constructed with 25MM high-strength MDF. To ensure best signal transmission, we also chose the renowned US based, TRANSPARENT internal speaker cables.
Cabinet Construction
The construction of its 25mm thick high strength fiberboard cabinets with strategically placed internal bracing lay down the foundation for sound quality.
The interior is also lined with a 36mm thick professional wave-absorbing material to enhance the absorption of excess standing waves.
SOUND
6.5-inch Aluminum Diaphragm Low Distortion Mid-woofer
A300Pro’s 6.5-inch woofer uses a high-strength magnesium-aluminum diaphragm and a costly UNDERHUNG magnetic circuit design. It is supported by a 50MM diameter voice coil and an oversized, high-energy magnet. Combined with a cleverly designed heat dissipation mechanism, this woofer has the lowest distortion and highest level of dynamics, delivering clean low frequencies that are richly detailed, and deeply extended.
This is a modal window.
Horn Loaded Ribbon Tweeter
Our unique design of horn-loaded aluminum ribbon tweeter in the A300Pro delivers to audience every corner of a wide space with airy and harmonically pleasing high frequency musical notes.
This even distribution mode is not affected by the reflection characters of the room, so that the high frequency notes are more articulate and three-dimensional.
Texas Instruments
Besides the top-of-line audio front end components, the core signal processing is built on XMOS xCore200 multi-core processor and a DSP chip TLV320AIC3268 from Texas Instruments. Class D amplifiers used inside the speakers are Texas Instruments' top-of-line model TPA3251.
Proprietary Synchronization Technology
Wireless signal distribution between left and right speakers is built on the microchip’s proprietary technology known as KleerNet. The radio is transmitted over 5.2GHz and 5.8GHz spectrum, and with a 22MHz radio bandwidth the technology guarantees lossless transmission of audio signal.
Besides the pair-used left-and-right wireless stereo using scenarios, the system offers an independent left and right configuration, just as traditional monitor speakers, which are often seen to be used with mixing consoles in recording studios.
A300Pro features both a symmetrical acoustic and electrical design. Both left and right speakers are active.
Bluetooth 5.0 with AptX
The Bluetooth audio receiver is built with QCC3031 from Qualcomm, which is a Bluetooth V5.0 chipset with AptX HD high-fidelity codec. It can offer a much better audio playback experience than traditional Bluetooth SBC audio.
A300Pro also offers a USB digital audio interface which supports UAC2 digital audio application. An ASIO audio drive is provided to enable Windows users to have a high-quality low latency signal path out.
TRANSPARENT Speaker Cable
No detail was left unattended in the A300Pro. We selected TRANSPARENT brand, a US made cable for internal connections to ensure maximum accuracy of signal transmission.
Take Control of Your Sound
The A300Pro comes with a wireless remote control used for taking control of your sound. You can switch between inputs easily from the comfort of your seat.
