Product Bulletin
The S6X is one of the most ambitious studio
monitors available today. They can be found
in some of the highest prole studios in the
industry, from elite private studios to world
class jazz, from rock and orchestral tracking
and mixing facilities to high powered hip
hop production rooms. The concept of the
horizontal symmetry of the drivers is greatly
affected by the generous proportions of
the larger diaphragms, resulting in both
exceptionally at frequency response and
extremely realistic dynamic reproduction
across the entire audio spectrum.
Numerous controls at the front panel allow
detailed adaptations to different acoustic
environments.
The built-in ampliers are connected to the
respective chassis points at the shortest
possible distance, thus avoiding having
the advantages of the active technology be
compromised by long distances between
the amplier units. The 12” subwoofers are
each driven by 500 W rms and 250 W units
power the other three frequency bands.
This main monitor offers very high accuracy
and power in sheer abundance. SPL peaks
beyond 120 dB are produced without any
compression or harshness. The S6X is a top
shelf choice for larger control rooms and
lm or sound studios.
Along with the input gain, there are level
controls for each of the four drivers, shelving
lters on both ends of the frequency
spectrum, and three full parametric EQs
(20-200HZ) that can be used to combat
standing waves in the control room. The EQ
can be bypassed individually or as a group
so that their overall effect can be analyzed
in direct comparison to the unaffected
signal. In large lm score mixing rooms, it
may be desirable to have a representation
of the sound in the theatres. To meet the
ISO 2969 Standard, the Dolby™ X-curve
has to be applied.
Using pink noise, the X-curve engages a 3
dB per octave roll-off above 2 kHz. Both
the S6X and S7A Mk2 have a switch that
activates this lter, eliminating the need for
external processing during the lm mix.

In order to get a precise and undistorted
reproduction, all drive units are mounted
on an ultra stiff 25 mm thick aluminum
honeycomb plate, which is acoustically
dead - thereby providing an extremely
mechanically stable bridge to the cabinet
(IC). As the drivers are much better xed this
way their time behavior (and consequently
their clarity) is audibly and measurably
improved.
Both the S6X and the S7A Mk2 ADAM use
the new generation of switching amps and
power supplies. These are combined in an
extremely powerful (1000 and 1500 W rms
respectively) yet cool amplier assembly.
Together with the built in overload protection
circuits these ampliers will run reliably and
at constant safe operating temperatures
not possible with conventional designs.
The ampliers are of extremely low output
impedance, leading to a damping factor
>4.000, enabling them to strictly control the
motion of the drive units.
