AIR XD 12 2-way 1 x 12” Active Extended Definition Loudspeaker

New

Powerful yet portable, the PreSonus AIR XD 12 delivers extended-definition sound with a 12-inch woofer, 1.35-inch tweeter, 1,500W of Class D power, and TWS Bluetooth stereo—ideal for mobile gigs or permanent installs.

Overview

The PreSonus AIR XD 12 is a full-range active loudspeaker designed for professional use, delivering extended-definition sound, high SPL, and precise tonal balance for any application. Its custom 12-inch low-frequency driver features an enlarged 2.56” voice coil for efficient power handling and extended low-end response down to 48 Hz, producing tight, dynamic bass with minimal distortion. The 1.35” high-frequency driver uses a PEEK diaphragm, offering exceptional stiffness, wear resistance, and high-temperature tolerance, resulting in clear, detailed, and ultra-responsive highs even under prolonged, high-output operation.

Powered by 1,500W of efficient Class D amplification, the AIR XD 12 can reach up to 132 dB SPL while maintaining clarity and headroom. Onboard DSP presets, ±10 dB EQ, and performance tuning modes allow quick adjustment for speech, music playback, FOH, or monitor use. A full-color 2.6” LCD provides intuitive metering, system control, and rapid access to all settings.

Built-in Bluetooth with TWS Bridge Mode enables effortless wireless stereo pairing, making it ideal for mobile DJs, corporate events, and fast setups. The integrated mixer includes combo mic/line and aux inputs, allowing seamless connectivity and versatile signal routing. Rugged enclosures with ergonomic handles and multiple mounting options make the AIR XD 12 as portable as it is powerful, whether flown, pole-mounted, ground-stacked, or used as a floor monitor.
