SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 88/100
Bass
86/100
5.8" woofer (147 mm) and -6 dB low band at 56 Hz indicate strong low-frequency extension for a compact monitor; 113 dB peak SPL and robust amplifier power support authority. With no listener reviews available, score sits in the upper band for its driver size (medium/small crossover) — good extension and control are implied by the specs.
Mid
89/100
2-way design and tight SPL/phase tolerances (±2.5 dB SPL, ±45° phase 350 Hz–20 kHz) point to accurate, well-integrated midrange. The combination of relatively large cone area and precise voicing typical of broadcast monitors suggests strong timbral accuracy and vocal presence.
Treble
89/100
27 mm tweeter diaphragm and upper bandwidth to 23 kHz (-6 dB) indicate extended, detailed highs with likely low incidence of harshness. Dispersion spec (80° x 35°) supports controlled on-axis brightness with moderated vertical spread.
Soundstage Imaging
88/100
Broadcast-oriented dispersion (80° horizontal) and precise crossover at 3.6 kHz imply good horizontal width and focused imaging. Compact cabinet size (163 x 243 x 170 mm) and professional design suggest stable, well-defined imaging for nearfield use.
Dynamics
90/100
High available power (110 + 45 W), high short-term and peak SPL figures (103 / 113 dB) and modest cabinet mass (4.9 kg) point to excellent micro- and macro-dynamic capability and headroom for a monitor this size. Suited to demanding broadcast/workstation levels.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
88/100
Professional XLR input, specific SPL/phase tolerances, and a long warranty (5 +1 years) indicate robust engineering and quality control. Compact, purpose-built enclosure and two-way system point to solid construction appropriate for pro use.
Features Connectivity
84/100
Active monitor with balanced XLR input (1 x XLR F / 3P) and professional amplification — strong for broadcast/nearfield setups. Lacks listed digital inputs or wireless streaming (typical for this class), so connectivity is focused and professional rather than consumer-convenience oriented.
Value for Money
78/100
Price unavailable; however, extensive warranty, pro-level specs (SPL, phase tolerances, extended bandwidth), and robust power suggest good value for broadcast/professional buyers. Without explicit retail pricing or reviewer comparisons, a conservative mid-to-high value score is assigned.

WHY BROADCAST ENGINEERS CHOOSE THE A14-M.
- Accurate phase response for precise stereo imaging
- Compact format ideal for OB vans and broadcast control rooms
- Fully analog signal path — no DSP latency
- Individually calibrated speakers for consistent monitoring
- Handmade tweeter for transparent high-frequency reproduction
“The A14-M is in the best sense, an inconspicuous near field monitor. Tonal balanced, high resolution detail, very good transient response and accurate positioning make it the Swiss army knife of any surround setup, small studio or OB van environment.”
Professional Audio Magazin, Germany
HANDMADE TWEETER
What do you do when you cannot find a driver appropriate for the sonic accuracy you want to achieve with your speaker? At PSI Audio, we decided to just build our own then. The tweeter used in the A14-M is unique, our own development and built by hand in our manufacture in Switzerland. Superior to any market-bought solutions, our tweeter offers unparalleled clarity, subtlety and fidelity. It took a lot of time and effort to create this tweeter – certainly a lot more than buying one from an international supplier would have. But the result is absolutely worth it.
EXTEND THE LOW FREQUENCIES AND ADD POWER
Ranging down to 56 Hz, the A14-M already impresses with a lot of transparent bass reproduction for its size. By adding one of our subwoofers, you can turn a pair of A14-M into a proper full-range system with all the clarity and precision you desire.
Add our compact Sub A125-M or our flagship full range Sub A225-M.
A14-M TECHNICAL DATA
For studio monitors, flatness is fundamental: you don’t want “smiley-face” tuning (e.g. boosted bass and treble) that might sound pleasant but misrepresents the mix. Flat response helps you judge balance, EQ, and spatial placement properly.
Every PSI Audio monitor is individually measured and calibrated in our full-size anechoic chamber.
We fine-tune each unit by hand until it reaches the exact linear frequency response defined in our reference curves.
Your monitor ships with its personal measurement sheet – a unique fingerprint of its precision and a guarantee of uncompromising Swiss-made accuracy.
A14-M BROADCAST – WHO IS IT FOR?
As our most compact speaker, the A14-M is perfect for environments with limited space while still offering a very comprehensive sonic image, especially when coupled with a subwoofer.
The A14-M is also particularly suited to enhance larger stereo setups for surround applications – our very tight tolerances guarantee a coherent sound throughout the entire model range. This makes the A14-M a particularly popular choice for rear surround speakers.
HANDMADE IN SWITZERLAND
All our products are handcrafted in Switzerland with passion and attention to detail.
Manufacturing by hand allows to match and adjust components so that tolerances cancel each other out instead of building up, as is often the case in industrial production.
CHOOSE YOUR COLOUR
Choose between Studio RedMetal Black and Pure White
Cabinets are manufactured with great care and attention from the choice of the wood all the way through to the paintwork.
