DISC PreSonus Sceptre S8 CoActual Studio Monitors + Free Stands

Full Description

The Sceptre S8 CoActual Studio Monitor combines an 8-inch low/mid frequency driver and a 1-inch horn-loaded, high-frequency transducer into a single coaxial unit with aligned voice coils and front-firing acoustic ports.

The first time you hear Sceptre-series CoActual 2-Way studio monitors, you'll discover fine nuances of your music that can't be reproduced by conventional designs.

The Sceptre's panoramic soundstage, fine detail and stunning dynamics will astonish you. This exceptional performance is the result of an advanced coaxial design that works integrally with a 32-bit processor running Fulcrum Acoustic's TQ Temporal Equalisation Technology. The processor is used to manage horn reflection, linear time and amplitude anomalies correction, performance contouring and dynamic excursion limiting.

PreSonus CoActual technology is at the heart of every Sceptre-series studio monitor and a combination of custom transducers in a state-of-the-art coaxial design with heavy-duty DSP running TQ algorithms.

In addition to making possible the Sceptre's coaxial design, the monitor's onboard DSP provides user-adjustable contour features for optimising the monitors for your mixing space. This enables full integration into any studio environment.
