PSI Audio showcases white AVAA C214 active bass trap and Héritage3 stereo speaker system at HIGH END 2024

Yverdon-les-Bains, 27th March 2024 – From 9th to 12th May, PSI Audio will exhibit at HIGH END 2024 in Munich. The main focus will be on the innovative AVAA C214 active bass trap, which will be presented in a dedicated listening room as well as in the form of a demo box at booth R09 in hall 3.

Swiss precision audio in Munich

The HIGH END show in Munich has long been established as one of the most important shows for audiophile technology in the world. PSI Audio will be at the 2024 show, mainly to present the recently released AVAA C214 active bass trap. This modified version of the renowned AVAA C20, which has revolutionized room acoustics for years, is specifically tailored to the requirements of home audio enthusiasts. Making its debut at the show is the new white finish for the AVAA C214, allowing it to seamlessly fit into even more environments. In addition to the AVAA, PSI Audio also showcases the high-end speakers Héritage3 at HIGH END 2024.

Cleaning up the acoustics with AVAA C214

With the AVAA system, PSI Audio has tackled the most challenging part of acoustics: room modes. The Active Velocity Acoustic Absorber imposes a very low acoustic impedance, practically acting like a hole in the wall, equivalent to 45 times the size of the device. Resonant frequencies are not reflected back into the room, but instead are eliminated, creating a clearer, more precise sonic image not just at the listening position, but in the entire room, with tighter bass and a perfect sound stage. The AVAA C214 features a DSP chip that allows adjustments via smartphone app and future updates for maximum convenience at home. Working at a much higher efficiency compared to traditional porous absorbers, the PSI Audio AVAA C214 requires much less volume for a similar effect. For example, even a perfect porous absorber would need to be 2 metres thick to be effective at 40 Hz, and twice that for 20 Hz, while the AVAA goes down to 15 Hz at only 25 cm diameter. Add to that the fact that the AVAA C214 can easily be moved to a different room, or a different house altogether, and requires no tuning or calibration, and it becomes clear what a powerful, yet compact solution it is.

Exquisite listening pleasure with Héritage3

At HIGH END 2024, PSI Audio also features its first floor-standing speakers specifically designed for home audio users: Héritage3. The three-way system is based on the studio speakers that are popular around the world for their untouchable accuracy, reproducing sound just as it was committed to the recording. Professionals appreciate the pure honesty of the all-analogue PSI Audio speakers, as do audiophiles who want to hear only what the artists intended – the real thing. The Héritage3 delivers this hallmark Swiss precision sound and dresses it in a unique and classy ported enclosure.

Experience PSI Audio at HIGH END 2024

HIGH END 2024 takes place from 9th to 12th May 2024 at the MOC in Munich, Germany. PSI Audio, the AVAA C214 and the Héritage3 can be found in hall 3 at booth R09. The open booth will feature the AVAA in a cleverly designed demo box to showcase its potential, while the listening room right behind it will present the Héritage3 playing to a room optimized with five AVAA C214. On Friday 10th, PSI Audio will host a get-together right after the show at 6 pm at the booth, to which all visitors are cordially invited.
