M-Audio Studiophile SP-5B

Bi-amplified near field studio monitors

The performance of a loudspeaker can be greatly improved when the driver, port, enclosure and amplifier are all designed as one system, rather than assembled as individual parts. This was the approach taken with the Studiophile SP-5B, which took over a year to complete. Great care was taken to use materials and designs that reject inaccuracy in the audio domain.

The SP-5B is a 2-way Bi-Amplified near field monitor with a 5" bass/mids driver. Your inputs can be balanced XLR connectors or unbalanced 1/4". You can calibrate the input level to match your system with the volume control on the rear panel.

The tweeter is swivel mounted so that you can adjust the position and direction of the tweeter. This unique feature accommodates various loudspeaker-mounting positions, allowing great control over imaging. More control over your listening experience is always better.

The Sub-Frequency Port discharges extreme low frequencies under 30 Hz. The SP-5B is designed to take advantage of this port to generate extreme low frequencies despite the small footprint of the enclosure.. Features

• The tweeter has a magnetically shielded 3/4" silk dome with Ferro-Fluid damping. Magnetic shielding minimizes reaction time, and the dome also minimizes resonance by adapting a unique internal damping technology.
• The 5 1/4" woofer is has a magnetically shielded mineral-filled polypropylene cone, with a high temperature voice coil and damped rubber surround.
• The SP-5B's enclosure employs high-density special MDF and unique interior reinforcement to provide more stable performance.
• Specially designed network and power amplifiers properly distribute low, mid, and high frequency reducing loss of sound and distortion.
• The high-end Bi-Amp structure provides smooth transition in the crossover region, and delivers 40W to the bass/mids driver, and 30W to the tweeter. The circuits were optimized to flatten the frequency response and maximize power handling and power output.
