PSI Audio A226-MAIN – Precision and Power Redefined
The PSI Audio A226-MAIN is the pinnacle of reference-class studio monitoring, designed for professionals who demand uncompromising accuracy, immense power and pristine fidelity. This flagship three-way active monitor features dual 10-inch symmetrical woofers for deep controlled bass with a wide sweet spot and minimized reflections, a proprietary EXD mid-range driver for unmatched transient response and an all-new aluminium-coil tweeter that delivers ultra-detailed highs. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
With a fully analogue signal path (no DSP), tri-amplified Class G/H sections powering 500 W + 150 W + 65 W, and a frequency bandwidth stretching from 20 Hz to 23 kHz, the A226-MAIN pushes boundaries in studio reference monitors. Peak SPL reaches up to 126 dB at one metre, enabling commanding dynamic performance even in demanding large-studio or mastering environments. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
The rotatable tweeter/mid-section baffle (90° swivel) allows flexible orientation for vertical or horizontal placement while maintaining stereo imaging and phase integrity. Individually calibrated in an anechoic chamber and hand-built in Switzerland, each unit is delivered with its own measurement certificate—emphasising the Swiss craftsmanship and engineering precision behind the monitor. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Ideal for mastering, high-level mixing, broadcast, large-format production suites or demanding personal listening environments with suitable room size (2 to 5.5 m listening distance specified), the A226-MAIN stands as a true main monitor solution. With its extensive dynamic range, wide bandwidth and uniform dispersion (80° × 40°), it ensures consistent performance across the listening zone. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
For audio professionals who refuse to compromise, the PSI Audio A226-MAIN sets a new benchmark in three-way active monitoring—where absolute precision meets raw power.
