AIRÉAN is a creation of contradictions – grounded and floating, fundamental and graceful, square and lithe. All that is as audible as visible, giving you a sound presentation of amazing complexity and richness in details. 

The speaker cabinets of 3BE’s Aural Scuptures have originally been engineered for the most authentic sound experience, with significant technical advantages over conventional speaker box design:

Manufactured as one seamless piece without additional bracing installations or other joint wall elements for the most integral resonance management

Inner volume with most distributed 1D/2D dimensions for the most unspecific frequency response

Enclosure material with inner attenuation 3 times higher compared to wood

Homogenous material structure with totally undirected inner energy disspation compared to formed wall materials

AIRÉAN is equipped with a 5″-woofer and a 3/4″ dome tweeter. The woofers with aramide cones and 1.4T-magnets from Davis Acoustics are well-proven in many high-end speaker installations over decades up to date. The Illuminator dome tweeter from ScanSpeak presents ribbon tweeter performance from 1k up to 30kHz in a truly minimalistic outer appearance.

The control unit to feed the drivers is installed in the base of the sculpture and separated from the speaker cabinet. This allows for a maximum of flexibility for the visual and acoustic design of both parts. Control units are available as passive crossover units – the classical way of connecting the AIRÉAN to an existing power amplifier – or as “active” units with integrated, true bi-amping modules and a combination of powered and passive analogue crossover. 

AIRÉAN is designed for ground-standing placement, optionally supported by a massive base plate.

Two alternative aperture designs for the speaker baffle are part of each speaker set: The original AIRÉAN treillage and the open driver blind. Yes, there is impact to the frequency response depending on your choice…

AIRÉAN can be individualized in various details, e.g., by variation of the outer skin.
