* Description
* The PreSonus Sceptre CoActual high-definition studio monitor takes its name from an age-old symbol of royal authority.
This 2-way studio monitor will help to discover the fine nuances of music that can not be reproduced by conventional
desings. The Sceptre's panoramic soundstage, fine detail, and stunning dynamics will astonish . 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 Coaxial ConundrumSpeaker designers have long been aware that coaxial designs offer the advantages of a
single point source for a consistent acoustic center and a symmetrical dispersion pattern. But until now, designing
coaxial systems without a variety of acoustic anomalies has been extremely expensive. Solving the problems involved in
coaxial designs requires massive as of DSP and subtle, sophisticated transducer design, which is why such systems
have, in the past, been limited to very high-end systems with external processors.However, Fulcrum Acoustic's amazing,
cutting-edge technology has allowed PreSonus to overcome the usual design problems of coaxial systems while taking
advantage of coaxial's unique properties. Thanks to custom transducers and TQ algorithms designed by Fulcrum's Dave
ness, Sceptre CoActual monitors deliver clarity and coherence that has previously only been available in
ultra-high-end systems.The Royal SceptreThe Sceptre series includes two models. The Sceptre S8 CoActual Studio Monitor
combines an 8-inch low/mid-frequency driver and a 1-inch (25 mm), horn-loaded, high-frequency transducer into a single
coaxial unit with aligned voice coils. The Sceptre S6 uses the same technology and design as the S8 but with a 6.5-inch
low/mid-frequency driver. Both models have front-firing acoustic ports.The systems are biamplified: Each transducer is
powered by a 90W RMS, Class D power amp with an internal heat sink. Each Sceptre has its own internal power supply with
IEC connector and a power switch with on/off LED. All Sceptre-series monitors have a balanced XLR and ¼-inch TRS
line-level inputs with A-taper level control.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
have a new, affordable close-field monitoring standard for project studios and commercial facilities.As expect from
PreSonus, Sceptre studio monitors use top-quality components and construction quality fit for royalty-and they look
regal, too!Coaxial Done Right with TQEach Sceptre monitor contains a DSP chip that enables the use of Fulcrum Acoustic's
TQ algorithms. The processor is used to manage horn reflection, linear time and amplitude anomalies correction,
performance contouring, and dynamic and excursion limiting.The result is coaxial speakers that perform far better than
all but the most expensive studio monitors. Wield the SceptreIn addition to making possible the Sceptre's coaxial
design, the monitor's onboard DSP provides user-adjustable contour features for optimizing the monitors for mixing
space. This enables full integration into any studio environment.A four-position Acoustic Space switch controls a
second-order shelving filter centered at 100 Hz, with four attenuation settings (no attenuation, -1.5 dB, -3 dB, and -6
dB) so that can account for the boundary bass boost that occurs when the monitor is placed near a wall or
cornerCoActual technology combines DSP time-correction and point-source design for symmetrical soundstage and
micro-definition imaging
