The sound generated by studio monitors will be much rawer and closer to what was actually produced in-studio at the time of recording. How Studio Monitors Sound and Why That’s Important Studio monitors are also manufactured to a much tighter tolerance than is the case with home audio speakers, allowing for greater detail from the recorded sound so that any shortcomings in sound can be digitally corrected by the sound engineer.Īny such background noise, imperfect note or other unwanted sounds can be detected and corrected which might have otherwise been missed when listening through home stereo speakers. Passive speakers solely rely on the amplifier that has to work with all notes and tones across all ranges. This is the opposite with passive speakers. As a result, each note and tone is delivered much more accurately and thus can be heard in greater clarity and detail as there is no compromise of power. Most home stereo speakers don’t draw mains power, instead, they simply draw a small current through the cables from which they use to receive the audio from the main amplifier or receiver.Ī studio monitor utilizes separate amplifiers for each frequency of tones, so the woofer, tweeter and the mid-range speaker each have a dedicated amplifier. Studio monitors are active in nature, which means they utilize their own power source direct from the mains, unlike most home stereo speakers. Because studio monitors are mostly used by those who work with audio or are artists, manufacturers focus on achieving rawer and clearer audio rather than making a speaker that looks good and can be more cheaply manufactured for the general public who don’t require such a level of audio. ![]() So, can you use studio monitors for home theater? Yes, and you may prefer it if quality and raw sound are more important to you than aesthetics. This is because while the listener will be consuming their audio either through headphones or home stereo speakers, the actual recording and production progress used by musicians and producers will see them using studio monitors rather than standard speakers during recording. However, despite the likelihood of large amounts of money being spent on audio separates in order to eke out as much enjoyment as possible from their particular music, the reality is the end product will be a highly polished work which will not necessarily match the ideals of the listener. They are likely using studio monitors and not standard stereo speakers. For these people, the quality of playback is a hugely important factor in their enjoyment of what they listen to. In other words, the cabinet “disappears” when the music or movie begins so all you hear is a precise soundstage, deep and well controlled bass, natural mids and high frequencies and an incredibly realistic emotional impact.Ask any serious audio enthusiast about listening to music and chances are they will have a listening setup that reaches far and beyond a conventional off-the-shelf home stereo system. Gold-plated speaker terminals ensure the highest signal transfer, and our ST8 is capable of handling 250W of power.Īll speakers in the Black S series have a sonically neutral cabinet designed for a stable, resonance-free platform for the custom drivers. The S8T’s proprietary crossover network provides extraordinarily well-orchestrated frequency distribution across a broad listening area with superior imaging and sound quality. There are many features that make this surround speaker unique including an 8” long-wood fiber inter-thread woofer cone that resonates effortlessly with low and mid- frequency sound as well as three silk dome tweeters to cover all the high-end frequencies so you’ll hear discrete brass and high notes like you never heard before. Part of our S Series of ultra-high-performance home theater speakers, the Black S8T Studio Monitor Tri-pole speaker is a remarkable, compact and versatile speaker for rear surround sound that fills in the sonic gaps of a high-fidelity surround sound system.Ĭombining OSD Audio’s unique and exclusive tripole technology, the S8T includes a direct-speaker (front-mounted drivers) with a dipole speaker (side-mounted drivers) in a compact enclosure that produces incredibly immersive and soul-fulfilling sound. ![]()
