C8-Reference Near/Midfield point source
The C8-Reference is a remarkable midfield monitor that excels in providing an exceptional listening experience. It offers a versatile listening distance, ranging from 36″ to 10′, allowing users to enjoy its powerful performance regardless of their proximity to the speakers.Designed with precision, the C8-Reference is specifically crafted to serve as a full-range main monitoring system for small to medium control rooms. Its well-designed enclosure volume and high-performance chassis contribute to its ability to deliver accurate and detailed sound reproduction across the entire frequency range.
One notable feature of the C8-Reference is its rear-facing bass reflex port. This port is intelligently designed to minimize audible air turbulence, ensuring clean and precise bass response. The result is a tight and controlled low-frequency reproduction that enhances the overall listening experience.
The 8″ coaxial driver of the C8-Reference is equipped with a carbon fiber membrane, which guarantees that there will be no cone breakup at higher frequencies. This ensures that the speaker can accurately reproduce even the most intricate details without any distortion. Additionally, the use of carbon fiber keeps the weight of the driver minimal, contributing to its overall efficiency.
To complement the coaxial driver, the C8-Reference features a 1″ tweeter that is manufactured in-house. This tweeter is designed to offer the lowest distortion values and maximum neutrality, resulting in a clear and transparent high-frequency reproduction. The special coaxial design of the driver optimizes the dispersion characteristics, ensuring a wide and consistent soundstage.
In summary, the C8-Reference is a top-notch midfield monitor that delivers outstanding performance and versatility. With its powerful capabilities, well-thought-out design, and high-quality components, it serves as an excellent choice for those seeking a full-range main monitoring system for their small to medium control rooms.
