These are active, near-field studio reference monitors — designed for accurate tracking, mixing, and monitoring in a studio or home-studio environment. 
• The “near-field” design means they work best relatively close to the listener, where their frequency response and imaging are most reliable.
• Drivers
• Low-frequency driver: 5′′ (127 mm) Kevlar-woven woofer with a curved cone, high-temp voice coil, and rubber surround. 
• High-frequency driver: 1′′ (25 mm) natural silk dome tweeter, magnetically shielded. 
• There is a tuned waveguide around the tweeter to improve stereo imaging and expand the “sweet spot” for listening.
