## Long description

It provides 80 W power per speaker within a 150 W RMS system, a maximum sound pressure level of 116 dB and a signal‑to‑noise ratio of 120 dB. The compact cabinet measures 254 × 292 × 381 mm and the single unit weighs 10 kg, offering nearfield monitoring capabilities with both balanced XLR and 1/4" TRS inputs and a headphone output covering 32–22,000 Hz.

How to use
Place the monitor at nearfield listening distance, ideally forming an equilateral triangle with the listening position and the paired speaker. Connect the monitor to an audio interface or mixer using the balanced XLR or 1/4" TRS input. Adjust listening level from your interface or mixer, and use the headphone output if private monitoring is required. Position the cabinet on isolation pads or stands to reduce surface coupling and to improve bass definition.
Usage recommendations
For accurate nearfield monitoring, allow a brief warm‑up time at moderate volume before critical listening. Use proper acoustic treatment and isolation pads or stands to minimise reflections and cabinet vibration for more reliable mixing decisions.
