OVERVIEW:
QUAD is proud to introduce the 9AS, based on the mini-monitor concept of the deservedly popular Quad 9L. The 9AS is a brand-new design featuring a new treble unit with associated waveguide front plate and the classic Quad woven Kevlar bass unit, both driven by low distortion Class AB amplifiers via a sophisticated active crossover.

If that was all you might expect the 9AS Active mini-monitor to be suitable for near field monitoring in the studio which, of course, it is. But 9AS offers more than just a standard active speaker. Look behind and you’ll find inputs for a variety of digital sources making 9AS compatible with CD players, PCs, MacBooks, iPods, or Smartphones as well as analogue sources. Switching between these inputs is handled simply by touching the requisite symbol on the front panel or via the remote control.

An ultra-high-performance DAC, as found on Quad’s Elite CD players, resolves digital inputs with up to 24 bit/192kHz accuracy. USB, Coaxial and Optical digital inputs allow a variety of ways to connect and switch between your digital sources. The 9AS thus becomes a full preamplifier and power amplifier plus loudspeaker combination that can be driven from multiple digital and analogue inputs. There is even a 3.5mm jack socket on the side for quick connection of the headphone output of an iPod or Smartphone. All this controlled by the master speaker, the slave is controlled by a 12V trigger.

The amplifier can be controlled by discrete touch sensors, with associated indicators, on the front panel just below the magnetic grille. A simple swipe across the volume strip will immediately increase or decrease the volume, or you can touch to set the volume at a particular level. Of course, volume can also be adjusted from the remote control.
In common with the versatility of input selection for the 9AS comes versatility of positioning too. A rear panel switch offers bass EQ suitable for free standing, desk mount and wall mounting, providing the perfect balance where ever you wish to use the speakers. In addition, an optional foot extension tilts the speakers up if you wish to use them on your computer desk.

Quad's Active Loudspeakers follow the same design principles and engineering ethics as any product launched by the company; to offer the best performance for the price. The 9AS is based on the mini-monitor concept of the highly regarded QUAD 9L speaker. The 9AS features a new tweeter unit with an associated waveguide front plate to guarantee a clean and detailed high-end, while the woven Kevlar bass/midrange cone allows for a punchy and dynamic sound overall. Integrated within the 9AS are low-distortion class AB amplifiers. This model features USB, digital and analogue inputs for the discerning music enthusiast looking to cut down on boxes without compromising quality. 
'Active' means that a power amplifier is present in both speakers, which removes the need to buy an additional amplifier. The 9AS also has a DAC on-board to allow the input of digital information from your laptop or desktop computer, your disc player or other digital audio device. The 9AS also has analogue inputs, and its preamp functionality means users are able to switch between a number of music sources without needing additional components.
