EnergyPro is the newly created professional division of Audio Products International Corp, manufacturer of the world famous consumer brands Energy, Mirage and Athena Technologies. Based in Toronto, Canada, APIC is the third largest loudspeaker manufacturer in North America and one of the ten largest speaker manufacturers in the world, say the company.
The first products created under the new brand are a comprehensive line of studio monitors, focussed on the recording, post production, project studio and broadcast markets. Stereo, surround, passive, active, analogue and digitally controlled systems are all featured.
The products on show at Frankfurt will include the ultra-compact passive E5.5 and E5.5C L/C/R monitors, ideal for broadcast and surround monitoring where space is limited, and the larger E6.5 compact passive monitor. Both E5.5 and E6.5 products feature titanium HF and glass-fibre cone matrix LF.
Also on show will be the advanced analogue/digital active E7A and E9A monitors, developed with input from recording engineers to facilitate the way they want to work with monitors and resulting in an unequalled set of features. This not only means very wide bandwidth, flat response, reference quality monitoring but features like sub feed and bass management from the main monitors, allowing mix position control of subs. With 24-bit resolution from 32 to 192 KHz sampling rate the E7A and E9A maintain full bit-rate at all volume levels.
EnergyPro will also be showing examples of their highly developed Es active subwoofers, featuring advanced API driver technology and BASH amplification.
Head of EnergyPro, Bill Calma, will be on hand throughout the show together with Derek West, who is responsible for distribution throughout the EMEA region.
