Presonus SCEPTRES8 8In Coaxial Studio Monitor
PreSonus SCEPTRE-S8 8″ High-Definition CoActual Active Studio Monitor
The first time you hear a set of Sceptre-S8 2-way studio monitors, you’ll discover fine nuances of your music that can’t be reproduced by conventional designs. The Sceptre’s panoramic soundstage, fine detail, and stunning dynamics will astonish you. This exceptional performance is the result of an advanced coaxial design that works integrally with a 32-bit processor running Fulcrum Acoustic’s TQ Temporal Equalization Technology. PreSonus CoActual technology, the core of every Sceptre-series studio monitor, is the combination of custom transducers in a state-of-the-art coaxial design with heavy-duty DSP running TQ algorithms.
The Sceptre S8 CoActual Studio Monitor combines an 8″ low/mid-frequency driver and a 1-inch (25 mm), horn-loaded, high-frequency transducer into a single coaxial unit with aligned voice coils. All Sceptre-series monitors have a balanced XLR and 1/4″ TRS line-level inputs with A-taper level control. They also include front-firing acoustic ports. To this package of custom transducers, powerful DSP running custom software, and first-rate power amplification, add a rich set of acoustic adjustments and full speaker protection, and you have a new, affordable close-field monitoring standard for project studios and commercial facilities.
