Designed to Work in Your
Environment

The ideal environment for listening

is a room that is “fl at,” neither too
refl ective (echoes) nor too absorptive
(where the sound is muffl

ed). But

since all rooms are not the same
acoustically, all TRUTH monitors come
equipped to function in a wide variety
of situations. Switches are provided to
adapt the monitor’s low- and high-
frequency characteristics for optimal
performance specifi c to your listening
environment.

Placement is also critical. Ideally,

all loudspeakers should be placed
away from walls to ensure proper bass
response. But fear not, B3030A/B3031A
monitors feature Room Compensation
switches so you can place them
against walls, or even in corners.
Walls tend to enhance low-frequency
content, and corners exaggerate
bass even more, but your TRUTH
monitor can be custom-tailored to
provide honest bass response for your
situation, with the simple fl ick
of a switch or two.

Non-fatiguing, Wide “Sweet Spot”

While some of our competitor’s

studio monitors have a highly focused
“sweet spot” (the optimal listening
position for a pair of loudspeakers),
our wave-guide is designed to create
a much more generous, broader
listening zone. That means you won’t
wear a hole in the carpet in that one
spot where everything sounds great.
You are free to move around inside the
stereo image to fi nd the ideal spot in
the mix for subtle instrument or eff ects
placement opportunities. You also
won’t suff er the ravages of “monitor-
fatigue-syndrome,” an ailment that
comes from listening to harsh high-
mids and treble content for hours
on end. The new 2" velocity ribbon
transducer, along with our proprietary
wave-guide design, generates silky-
smooth high-end that is non-fatiguing,
even during those all-night mix-down
sessions that can test your nerves.
