Introduction

The Aspen FR5 brings full-range, high-fidelity performance to compact listening spaces. As the entry point to PS Audio’s Aspen Series, the FR5 combines planar ribbon clarity with tight, deep bass extension—delivering a musical presentation that belies its small footprint.

Design

Leveraging nearly five decades of loudspeaker innovation, the FR5 pairs dual planar ribbon drivers (tweeter and midrange) with a single 5″ long-excursion woofer. Its phase-correct crossover network and rigid, inert cabinet ensure coherent driver integration, minimal distortion, and natural tonal balance.

Application

Ideal for desktop systems, small rooms, or as surround channels in a multi-channel setup, the FR5 offers effortless placement flexibility. Its boundary-tolerant design performs well near walls or in corners without compromising bass response or imaging. Simply connect to any quality amplifier and enjoy detailed, room-filling sound.

Technology Overview

• Planar Ribbon Drivers
  Ultra-light diaphragms driven by symmetrical neodymium motor assemblies provide exceptional transient response and zero inductive distortion for tweeter and midrange.
• Long-Throw Woofer
  A 5″ driver with a split-gap, high-compliance cone delivers deep, controlled bass down to 45 Hz without port artifacts.
• Phase-Correct Crossover
  Precision-engineered network ensures time-alignment and smooth blending between ribbon drivers and woofer for seamless frequency response.
• Acoustically Neutral Cabinet
  Braced, inert enclosure minimizes resonances, preserving musical detail and imaging accuracy.
