The latest Innovations such as rotatable HPS waveguide technology , DSP-based room correction enable users to tune speakers for their room and ears .
The A Series introduces a rotatable HPS waveguide and X-ART tweeter . This means you can rotate the entire waveguide and tweeter module and continue to get benefit from the HPS technology whether you position the speaker horizontally or vertically . In the horizontal domain , the waveguide is designed to match the dispersion angle of the X-ART tweeter to the woofers and midrange drivers in the crossover region . This results in a smoother , less distracting response when listening to the speakers off axis , supporting stability of the imaging and creating a larger usable “ sweet spot ”. In the vertical domain , the waveguide ’ s design reduces energy arriving on the surfaces of significant studio furniture , such as mixing consoles , desks or even the ceiling . These surfaces can potentially cause harmful reflections and ultimately combfiltering .
One of the most promising and attractive feature of “ A ” series is automated room correction solution that runs directly on the DSP of A Series monitors . For people , who make music in such an environments where the space doubling up as a bedroom or living room and acoustic treatment is often not an option , using A Control , you can push advanced filters directly to an embedded platform onboard the monitors to help compensate for imperfect room acoustics and this platform supports filters from industry leaders Sonarworks . Using Sonarworks SoundID Reference software and a measurement mic , you can create calibration curves specifically for your room and run them directly on your A Series monitors . This negates the need for an additional DAW plugin , simplifying workflows and ensuring that your studio monitors are always using a calibrated filter regardless of the audio source or type . It also means that you do not need to worry about your audio source , as the calibration is taking place directly on the monitor ’ s embedded platform .
An extended warranty of 5 years is standard across their entire product portfolio , allowing you to work without worrying about your gear .
