General
With this set of Equator D8s, you're treating yourself to two high-grade coaxial active studio monitors. The D8 is an average-sized monitor that produces an excellent, full sound. At first glance, it looks like a regular speaker turned upside down, but looks can be deceiving. This monitor has a coaxial speaker configuration - which means the tweeter and woofer are mounted on the same axis - and what you might mistake for a tweeter is actually a bass reflex port. As all frequencies emanate from the same source, you won't have to worry about phase differences between woofer and tweeter.
Characteristics of the Equator D8 Coaxial Active Studio Monitor
Measuring 356 x 254 x 305 mm, the D8 does not exactly boast exceptional dimensions. Its frequency response, which extends from 44 Hz to 20 kHz, and its 106dB SPL are remarkable, however, making the D8 an outstanding, versatile asset for your studio. Ideally, monitors are positioned away from walls and corners, but not every studio is big enough to allow for such a setup. Fortunately, the D8 has a boundary switch that enables you to choose between various position settings, adjusting its sound to suit any situation. Combine these characteristics with other practical features (like driver protection), and you've got yourself a perfect set of active monitors for any studio.
