Pylon Audio Jasper 23 Active

Jasper 23 active

The evolution of the smallest floor-standing Jasper: the active version combines flagship sound, perfectly tuned for smaller rooms, with a sleek design and no need for external amplifiers or speaker cables.

Stylish, powerful, effortless

Jasper 23 Active retains all the best features of its passive variant while adding the unmatched convenience of not requiring external amplifiers or speaker cables, all thanks to the built-in amplifier, WiSA support, and Stereo Hub. It combines stunning design, superior craftsmanship, and the top-notch sound characteristic of the Jasper series line enclosed in a smaller, slimmer form factor. The outcome is an elegant, compact floor-standing speaker that offers tremendous space-drawing capabilities and surprising, at this size, potential for reproducing the lowest registers.

Superb drivers combination

At the core of the Jasper 23 Active, as in the larger model, are proven drivers from Danish Scan-Speak, carefully selected based on a series of acoustic measurements and subjective tests. A pair of famous Revelators 15 are responsible for the midrange and the low end. Their characteristic notches reduce diaphragm distortion and dissipate its standing waves. The top is entrusted to a silk dome tweeter with one of the lightest vibrating systems in speakers of this type, with the dome weighing only 0.18 g. It delivers extreme speed, undistorted details, and lightness in reproducing the finest nuances of the records.

Stunning looking, acoustically perfect

Years of experience, supported by extensive research facilities, including an anechoic chamber and laser accelerometer, have enabled us to create perfect working conditions for the drivers. They are housed in a rigid body, crafted from high-grade, thick MDF boards, with the front and back made in “sandwich” technology. With additional reinforcements, the enclosure is free of any resonances that negatively affect the sound. The characteristic curved front and back prevent the formation of standing waves in the enclosure and equalize the acoustic centers of the speakers in the crucial mid-high range section, which translates into the consistency of presentation and stage.

Comfort without compromise

Jasper 23 Active has a top-quality amplifier module with 150 watts per driver discreetly integrated into the back of each speaker. It operates in a modern, highly efficient, and energy-saving Class D, translating into excellent sound quality and energy efficiency. The advanced DSP processor has allowed our designers the freedom to fine-tune the system, optimizing the sound performance according to the design goals. All speakers in the Jasper Active series utilize WiSA – a widely recognized wireless standard in the audio industry that ensures lossless sound transmission and ease of connection with other devices using this technology. With the dedicated Stereo Hub, you can freely use your existing electronics, such as CD players, DACs, or TVs. The free, dedicated Pylon Audio app, available for iOS and Android, allows for easy configuration of the entire system (Stereo Hub + speakers). The system has WiFi and Bluetooth modules, ensuring convenience and fast operation. There are also 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.
