[. . . ] Oh, they still sound great hooked up to your stereo or your video surround system, but they were really built with the studio in mind -- where every note you play or sing is "under the microscope. " Built on a Legacy Our TRUTH B2030A and B2031A monitors have been so wildly successful that we've sold thousands upon thousands of them to some of the most critical ears on the planet -- ears that demand the neutral sound of a true reference monitor. Ask any recording engineer and they will tell you that listening to a recording on just a single set of monitors doesn't always paint an accurate picture of the mix. Since people listen to music at home, in their cars, on mp3 players, etc. , it is critical your final mix be heard on as many sizes and types of speakers as possible. [. . . ] While some of our competitors are content to stick whatever speakers they have on the shelf into haphazardly designed boxes and then strap on a one-sizefits-all amplifier package, we build every single component from the ground up. We pack 75-Watts of bi-amped technology (including a time- and phase-corrected active crossover) into every B1030A, ensuring that you have the enormous power reserves you'll need to drive them really hard.

Ideally, all loudspeakers should be placed away from walls to ensure proper bass response. But fear not, B1030A monitors feature Room Compensation switches so you can place them against walls, or even in corners. Walls tend to enhance lowfrequency content, and corners exaggerate bass even more, but your TRUTH monitor can be custom-tailored to provide honest bass response for your situation, with the simple flick of a switch or two.

Kevlar LF transducer (woofer). Non-fatiguing, Wide "Sweet Spot" While some of our competitors' studio monitors have a highly focused "sweet spot" (the optimal listening position for a pair of loudspeakers), our wave-guide is designed to create a much more generous, broader listening zone. That means you won't wear a hole in the carpet in that one spot where everything sounds great. You are free to move around inside the stereo image to find the ideal spot in the mix for subtle instrument or effects placement opportunities. You also won't suffer the ravages of "monitor-fatigue-syndrome, " an ailment that comes from listening to harsh high-mids and treble content for hours on end -- a pretty important consideration for those all-night mixdown sessions that can really test your nerves.
