We are very proud to announce AE Singapore’s Grand Opening on October 21st and 22nd 2023. 

Singapore Philosophy

AE Singapore applies AE’s philosophies with a systems-approach, integrating the disciplines of acoustics, aesthetics, component selection and calibration.

Acoustics is foundational to performance. Mohan, MD of AE South-East Asia, began by enlisting professional acoustic engineers and audio experts to build both studios from scratch. An in-house “quietness rating” was built into the acoustic design, based on how quiet a space should be for the listener to receive the utmost contrast between ‘loud’ and ‘soft’ musical passages. In demos, we intend that the listener experience an unadulterated dynamic range from low listening levels upwards, as the listening space fills with sound. Across this phase of development, expert readings of acoustic software were employed to serve the most sensitive instrument of all – the trained human ear!

Next came aesthetics, for there is a correlation between acoustics and aesthetics on the listening experience. Here, Mohan created a practical environment based on a typical domestic living space. In the overall aesthetic, there were no enhancements beyond the carefully chosen elements that combine diffusive and absorptive elements.

In the component selection, we applied the adage of ‘a chain being only as strong as its weakest link’. In the Premium studio and Lux studio, we sought to curate the best-in-class components which would complement each other. The sonic differences between both studios, can be described in terms of the scale of the performance. More than that, the Lux studio offers the most exclusive and artisanal system for living spaces.

Bringing it all together is our fastidiousness in calibration. Here are loudspeaker placement and system calibration. A loudspeaker’s ‘sound’ takes its final form from its interaction with the acoustics of the enclosing room. For AE Singapore, establishing the appropriate geometry to optimize the pressurization and dispersion of sound waves was top-priority. The expression of music in convincing ways, fell upon experts from around the world to resolve. All this too would fall short of the majesty both studios avail today, if not for the conditioning availed by the finest component supports, interfaces, accessories: all tuned to push the boundaries of the art.

I have no words to describe my feelings of this analog treasure.  What comes to mind is a poem. 

Silence is a space, a sacred place.  For in this space, I can see the beauty of life, pure and free. 

The language of silence knows no bounds. Its meaning is felt, its presence profound. 

For in silence, there is a way, to connect with our innermost soul. 

Chris Leung 

My deepest salute to Lee Dalby for his ingenuity to the service of musicality.

無言感激

我選擇了日本藝術家 ”早川克己”(Katsumi Hayakawa)的作品給予Aaron為今年的生日禮物。早川是畫「光」的能手,這幅名為《Signal 》的作品,設計概念原自他的香港演唱會其中一個造型。從他的欣悦反應,我估計早川的創作已觸動了他的藝術感知。

我也帶了兩本Capital雜誌,給他作為留念。如果沒有遇上他,AE的發展將會變得平淡。他為《御品》題字的一幅書法,一直掛在發跡的上環展示室內,以作策勉之用。他對我的啟發與鼓勵,成為了強大的精神支柱,增強了信心不停突破,走上一條新的路線,所以我一直心存無限感激。

昨天Aaron對我說:”Chris,今次這個封面,是你的一個里程碑,大家繼續互相勉勵。”

當我要求他在雜誌內的專題報道上簽個名時,我萬想不到,佢先拿了支筆給我,請我在他那本上,簽我的名字作為留念。

這一刻的感動,並非文字可以表達到。

The beautiful Jete record weight by Dalby Audio Design. It illuminates musicality naturally from any vinyl atop analog turntable.  Decaying harmonic tails are resolute, attacks are agile, textures are colourful, pacing is rhythmic, energy is radiant and presence is graceful.
