Pylon Audio Jasper 23 Active

All the speakers in the Jasper Active series use WiSA – a widely recognized wireless standard in the audio industry that provides lossless sound transmission. Jaspers easily connect with other devices that use this technology, and with the use of a dedicated Stereo Hub, you can freely use your existing electronics, such as CD players, DACs, TVs, etc. Available on iOS and Android devices, the free dedicated Pylon Audio app allows for easy configuration of the whole system (Stereo Hub + speakers). The system is equipped with WiFi and Bluetooth modules, which guarantee convenience and speed of operation, as well as balanced XLR analog inputs for the highest quality wired connection. The active version of the Jasper series offers compatibility with services such as Spotify Connect, Chromecast, Airplay, and Roon.

Jasper 23 Active is powered by a discreetly integrated 150W high-quality amplifier module for each transducer. They work in a modern, high-performance, and energy-efficient class D, which translates into excellent sound quality and energy efficiency. The advanced DSP processor has allowed our designers the freedom to tune the entire system, optimizing the sound according to the design assumptions.

Similarly to the traditional passive version, the heart of the active Jaspers is based on tried and tested designs from the Scanspeak stable. The transducers used have been specially selected from the acoustic measurement series and hours of subjective testing. The midrange and bass are handled by a pair of famous Revelator 15s, recognizable, among other things, thanks to their characteristic notches, which control membrane distortion (own modes) and scatter standing waves of the membrane. The top end is entrusted to a silk high-frequency speaker (tweeter) with an ultra-light, 0,18-gram vibrating system. This tweeter is characterized by extreme speed and undisturbed detail, as well as the lightness of reproducing the finest details of the transmission.

Drawing on our engineers’ years of experience and our extensive research facilities (including an anechoic chamber and a laser accelerometer), we have made every effort to create the perfect working conditions for the transducers. To align their acoustic centers in the most critical mid-high frequency section, we have designed a shape that is devoid of orthogonal forms. The rigidity of the construction is ensured by a front panel made of sandwich-type layered panels and precisely positioned reinforcements in the enclosure, eliminating any resonances that negatively affect the sound.

The result of our efforts fully met our assumptions: the design, quality, and character of the Jasper line encapsulated in a small, slender, and elegant casing. Jasper 23 active offers tremendous possibilities for creating spatial and surprisingly, given its size, the potential for reproducing the lowest registers.

These speakers are dedicated to rooms of 18-35 square meters.
