Taxes & Shipping Included
Keeping up with the times, we present the natural evolution of our flagship Jasper series - the active version. The Jasper Monitor 18 Active is a revolutionary product that offers the highest quality sound without needing external amplifiers and speaker cables. Comfort without compromise.
All speakers in the Jasper active series use WiSA, a widely recognized industry standard for lossless audio transmission. The Jasper speakers easily connect with other devices that operate on this technology, and using the dedicated Stereo Hub, you can freely use your existing electronics such as CD players, DACs, TVs, etc.
The free dedicated Pylon Audio app, available for iOS and Android devices, allows for easy configuration of the entire system (Stereo Hub + speakers). The system is equipped with WiFi and Bluetooth modules, ensuring convenience and fast operation, as well as balanced XLR analog inputs for the highest quality wired connection. The active version of Jasper also offers compatibility with services such as Spotify Connect, Chromecast, Airplay, and Roon.
The Jasper Monitor 18 active is powered by a discreetly integrated module at the back of each speaker, a high-quality amplifier with a power output of 150 W per transducer. They operate in a modern, high-efficiency, and energy-saving class D, which translates into excellent sound quality and energy efficiency. An advanced DSP processor allows our designers to tune the system freely, optimizing the sound according to the design specifications.
Specially selected in terms of technical parameters and sound coherence, the transducers come from the Danish company Scan-Speak. The 18cm Revelator is responsible for reproducing low and mid-range tones, recognized for its unique, sliced membrane. This technique was applied to reduce distortion and so-called "modes" of the membrane, resulting in unprecedented control and elasticity of the bass, as well as expressiveness and tangibility of vocals. The high end of the spectrum is entrusted to a tweeter that uses one of the lightest vibrating assemblies, a dome weighing only 0.18g, easily reproducing all the smallest nuances and details of recordings. The result of these solutions is a sound with precise, colorful, and detailed character.
The whole is enclosed in a solid construction with an original form, with bent surfaces preventing standing waves in the enclosure, along with the appropriate front tilt. The additional function of this shape is to equalize the acoustic centers of the speakers, translating into the coherence of the presentation and soundstage.
We have also designed stable stands for the speaker setups, allowing for the full utilization of the speakers' spatial capabilities.
The Jasper Monitor 18 is a compact yet very advanced speaker with an innovative and refined form, surprising musicality, stereo imaging, and scale.
These speakers are dedicated to rooms ranging from 15 to 32 square meters.
