Studio HD
Originally designed as a monitor for a top recording studio, the Legacy Studio HD offers unmatched clarity and dynamics in a compact enclosure. Don’t let its size fool you. The Studio HD is a butt kickin’ compact monitor featuring an 8” Silver/Graphite bass/midrange driver and a 1” dual pole AMT folded ribbon.
The sound is open and airy, yet a kick drum “feels” like a kick drum. Vocals are robust and effortless. You can hear lungs fill with air before the first note is sung.
Studio HD excels as both a left and right main speaker, as well as a surround speaker for Atmos® systems. Coupled with the Metro XD subwoofer, Studio HD offers a building block approach to true high-end audio.
The Studio HD cabinet is constructed of 1.125" MDF and is available in a wide variety of décor friendly finishes, such as the premium Black Pearl, shown here.
“If you’re a foot-tapping fanatic of pace, rhythm, and timing, this might be the loudspeaker of your dreams.” Herb Reichert, Stereophile

8” Proprietary Woofer
