System 600/800 Features
◆ Ferrofluid cooling in the tweeter lets it
handle high power. Diaphragm is made of
aluminum/magnesium for stiffness and
low mass.Around the diaphragm is a
nitrile rubber surround with a narrow roll
that eliminates resonances below 25 kHz,
and cannot be destroyed by fatigue.
◆ Signal input is via a Neutrik combi con-
nector, which combines a three-pin XLR-
type with a TRS locking 1/4” phone jack.
◆ Made of 36mm thick rigid MDF,damped
to prevent breakup. The cabinet is covered
in black vinyl wrap, while the front baffle is
painted midnight blue.
◆ Cabinet is shaped like an elongated octa-
gon, with beveled edges that reduce dif-
fraction.
◆ Tw o panels in the cabinet are fitted with
magnetic shielding plates
◆ Each speaker weighs 23.1 lb.and measures
a compact 9 x 14 x 11˝ (HxWxD)
System 600A/800A
Step-up Features
◆ Tw o EQ switches on the back control the
bass and treble response (LF /HF contour)
◆ The LF settings are free-field and half-
space.If your speakers are placed relatively
far from nearby surfaces,use the free-field
setting. If the speakers are near a wall or
console, use the half-space setting
◆ HF adjustments are +2/0/-2 dB shelving
◆ Selectable input level (-10 dBV and +4 dBu)
◆ On the front of the cabinet are two bass-
reflex ports and a power-on LED
Active 6.5˝ and 8˝
Dual Cocentric Near-Field Monitors
Combining the proven quality of the System 600 and 800 with two amplifiers
and fully optimized electronic crossover in a single compact package, the
System 600A and System 800A provide the complete solution to active
monitoring, yet are in the same price range as some passive speakers.
The System 600A and System 800A offer all the advantages of point source
operation in a cost-effective design, combined with the benefits of active
speaker technology: a highly optimized active crossover section; ideal matching
between amplifiers and transducers; higher output for lower distortion. Active
user controls are also provided to allow further bass extension (LF contour)
and greater flexibility.
System 600A
Active reference monitor, with two 70W
amplifiers and electronic crossover. Unique
cabinet shaped for optimum acoustic per-
formance. Ideal for left-center-right in a
project studio surround system.
System 800A
8˝ Dual Cocentric drive unit,with two 90W
amplifiers and electronic crossover.A com-
plete monitoring package with the ability to
exploit the full performance of today’s digi-
tal recording equipment.
