A Compact Format Designed for Modern Spaces
Designed for desks, project studios, and compact creative workstations, this active studio monitor combines a small footprint with reliable performance. Its discreet size (142 x 196 x 187 mm) easily fits under a screen or on a shelf, while the M5 and 3/8" threads facilitate integration on arms, booms, or wall mounts. Weighing only 2.1 kg, it can be carried and repositioned effortlessly as needed.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
Ideal for home studios, content creators, podcasting, and video editing, it delivers a clear "sweet spot" at close range. Its 115 dB max SPL provides a comfortable dynamic reserve for editing, sound design, or reference listening at a desk, without sacrificing the precision needed for nearfield mixing.
Precision and Control at Your Fingertips
The Class D amplification optimizes efficiency and stability, while the combination of a 4" woofer and 1" tweeter ensures a balanced response from 77 Hz to 20 kHz. The 2-band EQ allows quick correction of excess or lack of highs and lows depending on placement (near a wall, on a desk, on a stand), ensuring a faithful representation of your productions.
Connectivity Built for Versatility
Whether you work from an audio interface, mixer, or laptop, the combo XLR/6.3 mm jack, 6.3 mm jack, and 3.5 mm mini-jack inputs adapt to most sources. The 6.3 mm jack output offers additional flexibility for your connection scenarios in a personal studio or mobile creative setup.
