Bookshelf Speakers — Edifier Airpulse A200

The Airpulse A200 is a fully active bookshelf loudspeaker from Edifier, built under the brand's Airpulse sub-line with dual-configuration internal amplification. The Airpulse A200 brings Edifier's considered engineering to a capable active loudspeaker format with a subwoofer-plus-satellite amplifier arrangement.

Key specs that matter

Rated response is 46Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Internal amplification uses a dual configuration - 10W plus 10W for high frequencies, and 55W plus 55W for low frequencies - a bi-amplified approach within a single active bookshelf pair. At 22.5 x 35.5 x 29.5cm and 19kg, the Airpulse A200's considerable weight reflects serious internal amplification and driver engineering.

Sound and use context

Expect explosive dynamic headroom reflecting the bi-amplified internal configuration - this individually amplified approach to high and low frequencies eliminates passive crossover compromises within each speaker enclosure.

Pairing

As a fully active design, the Airpulse A200 requires no external power amplifier, connecting directly to a source component or preamplifier with line-level input.

Alternatives

Edifier's own Airpulse A300 sits above this model with somewhat greater amplification and extended bandwidth, worth the further investment if the A200's already capable performance still leaves ambitions for additional output.
