The B452-AIR bookshelf speaker may be the little brother to the larger
B652-AIR bookshelf speaker, but it packs a sonic punch! Try it on your desk, or
as part of a compact, discrete yet impressive-sounding surround sound system.
Like the B652, the B452-AIR is all about giving you the most performance for
your money while offering a little something extra from the fantastic AMT
tweeter.

Tweeter
What is an AMT?
AMT is short for Air Motion Transformer, which stands tall as a unique
style of transducer in the world of speaker drivers. The AMT found in the
speakers from Dayton Audio utilizes a folded Kapton ribbon diaphragm. This
allows more air to move through the diaphragm with less effort and distortion.
This creates a purer and satisfyingly dimensional sound as compared to a
traditional dome-style tweeter.
Don't judge a speaker by its size! The Dayton Audio B452-AIR 4-1/2"
bookshelf speaker is the smallest in the Dayton Audio family, but the sound is
big. A newly-designed 4-1/2" polypropylene cone woofer with 4-layer voice coil
achieves excellent balance and listenability when combined with the 1" AMT
tweeter, for exceptionally rich and detailed sound from a small speaker. While
cheap speakers use plastic enclosure parts to cut costs, the inexpensive
B452-AIR uses a sturdy wood-composite cabinet that minimizes resonance and
enhances warmth without sacrificing clarity.
The B452-AIR bookshelf speaker fits into a space only 5.5" wide and less
than 6" deep, making it the perfect choice for desktop listening, or compact
surround speakers in a home theater surround-sound system. A built-in keyhole
wall hanger bracket makes it a breeze to wall-mount the B452-AIR in any desired
location. For a room-filling listening experience with deeper bass that rivals
larger full-sized speakers, the B452-AIR speaker also pairs perfectly with any
of the excellent Dayton Audio powered subwoofers.
Anywhere you enjoy music, the balanced sound of the B452-AIRs add a new
dimension of affordable enjoyment.
