Reference Monitors Introduction
The Reference Monitor Range is a series of rack-mount audio monitors,
combining the latest DSP technology with outstanding audio enclosure design
to produce monitors of the highest standards with exceptional sound quality,
a comprehensive feature set and good looks in the rack.
Uniquely an embedded 5 band parametric EQ allows you to configure the
monitor for your environment or to suit your listening tastes.
Detail In The Design
In the design of the product, every care has been taken to ensure the best and most
accurate reproduction of the audio sources.
In a 1U rack, the propogation of high power sound waves in such a small enclosure could
have a tendency to produce rattles or move components, but the Reference Monitors have
been designed to ensure that their audio performance is not compromised.
Anti-Vibration
A welded and sealed stainless-steel case with milled aluminium fascia provides exceptional
rigidity and has been used to ensure that there are no extraneous metallic rattles. The lid
is sealed with extensive thin foam cut-outs to provide damping to the lid and multi-point
screw xings are used to ensure lid rigidity.
The XLR and USB port connectors on the rear panel are sealed with foam, and silicon
sealant is used on components which could move, or vibrate, under high SPL conditions.
Accurate Sound System
The speaker system comprises a three-way arrangement with two mid/high frequency
speakers providing excellent stereo imaging and a separately driven, forward facing, dual
magnet, mono bass driver.
Custom-moulded, proled, HF enclosures are used to minimise standing waves and
eliminate response peaks, and acoustic damping in the HF enclosures is used to reduce
colouration, eectively creating a separate, sealed, innite-bae enclosure for each driver.
