TAPCO S5 ACTIVE 2-WAY STUDIO MONITOR

 Price per speaker

The S·5 features rich, accurate sound, with excellent stereo imaging and a
"sweet spot" you just won't believe possible in a monitor this affordable.
Exceptional sonic performance
The S?5 active studio monitors may be small, but they're designed to be
transparent, producing uncolored sound for critical desktop monitoring in
home recording studios, video editing suites, and home theater systems.
The S?5's two-way bass reflex design provides an amazingly flat frequency
response and benefits from complete system integration with active crossovers,
dual 60-watt power amplifiers, precision drivers (5.25-inch LF, 1-inch HF) and
a custom-tuned, ported cabinet.
Adjustable, to work any room
Every room is different. Variables like size and shape, furniture, doors and windows,
carpeted or wood floors, and where you sit when you listen, all combine to determine
what you hear. With the S?5, we included some fine calibration controls to let you
adjust the low (+2, +4 dB below 100Hz) and high (+/- 2dB above 5kHz) frequency response
to correct any bad influences caused by the room. More importantly, these controls
help to ensure that the great sounds you get with the S?5 also sound great on your home
stereo, in the car, and anywhere else your music is played.
Protecting your investment
We know people want to blast their monitors for long periods in less than laboratory
conditions, so we added some extra circuitry just to keep your S?5s performing their
best. The S?5s are tuned to maximize efficiency, but they can get hot when used in
the real world. If the electronics get too hot, separate thermal switches activate and shut
down the high and/or low frequency amplifiers until they cool down. An Over-excursion filter,
just before the low frequency amplifier protects the woofer from shredding itself when the low-
end is driven to the maximum. These extra protections ensure long life and monitors you can
count on to have your back at all times. Finally, we've adding magnetic shielding to protect your
computer display or television from being permanently being tweaked from the powerful magnets
found inside the S?5.

The Twin6 Be is the best seller of the Focal Professional range and the most versatile work tool of the SM6 line. It represents the only necessary solution for recording, mixing and mastering. The image precision, treble definition as well as midrange neutrality are at the heart of its reputation.
The excellent articulation of the bass and midbass registers, even at very high sound levels, makes it an unavoidable reference for engineers who require absolute transparency. Furthermore, the design of the Twin6 Be permits a high SPL while at the same time offering a stable tonal balance. One of the two 6.5" woofers works in large band (midrange – bass) whereas the other reproduces from 40 to 150Hz. This creates a bass that preserves all the signal dynamics, without any masking effect in the midrange, thereby keeping all its neutrality and transparency. Additional control of the bass register is accomplished by fine-tuning on the control plate on the back of the Twin6 Be in order to obtain a perfect mirror configuration with its mate. The Twin6 Be can be installed vertically or horizontally to respond to the space requirements of each studio.

The Solo6 Be monitor will surprise you in the very first minutes you spend with it, partly due to its size/extended bass response (40Hz at -3dB). The 6.5" "W” composite sandwich mid-woofer combines neutrality in the midrange, fullness in the midbass register and bass control. Its compactness and the choice of a large front laminar port guarantee easy integration in studios that need a near field monitor without any acoustic compromise. The user settings on the back of the Solo6 Be, combined with its compactness, make it easy to carry and to adjust according to the acoustics of each studio.
