Guitar Interactive Magazine Review
The AIR active loudspeaker series is the latest addition to PreSonus live sound line-up and consists of three active loudspeakers and two active subwoofers. PreSonus is probably far better known for its range of microphone pre-amplifiers audio interfaces and digital mixers than it is for sound reinforcement products but the company’s commitment to live sound reinforcement has seen them build up an impressive product roster in this area. Using a Class A/B-Class D hybrid system gives you the best of both worlds- Class A/B’s ability to deliver clear highly-detailed midrange and treble and Class D’s ability to deliver high levels of bass power without the weight penalties inherent in high-power Class A/B.
