User manual SOUNDCRAFT ABSOLUTE 2

[. . . ] Absolute 2 offers all this, at a price that no other professional monitoring system can touch - because we know from our experience with mixers that good design and high quality construction don't have to cost more. The advanced vented cabinet design complements the 6. 5"/165mm low-frequency driver to give smooth, extended bass response. [. . . ] The soft-dome tweeter and high quality crossover keep the frequency response smooth right up to a crisp high end that's free of unnatural colouration - unlike the harsh sound of some other low-cost monitors. Of course, it would be a shame if you could only appreciate Absolute quality in the studio, so we've included magnetic compensation to ensure that Absolute 2 is safe for use next to video and computer screens, and terminals for bi-wiring mean that you can also use Absolute 2 as a superior hi-fi speaker.

Bass response is best when the cabinets are close to a back wall. Amplifier power ratings of up to 100 Watts RMS can be used, though more powerful amplifiers can be used with caution. Connection to Absolute 2 is by high quality terminal which will accept bare wires, 4mm `banana' plugs or 6mm fork terminals. We set an exacting brief for our team of British monitor specialists to create an affordable loudspeaker, capable of delivering the clear, honest sound of Spirit mixers. But before the result could bear the Spirit name, it had to pass the guru test. Would it measure up to Graham Blyth's standards of excellence?As the designer of many classic mixers over the last 25 years, he knows a thing or two about accurate monitoring, and he's a hard man to please. Fortunately the design team excelled themselves, turning in a speaker with professional performance at an unbelievable price: a speaker that Graham, and all the Spirit team, can welcome with open arms into the Spirit range.
