Eve Audio SC4070 Active Studio Monitor (Single Unit)

General

When just starting out, most producers kit out their studios with a pair of nearfield monitors. There's plenty of choice, and these compact units are more than good enough for smaller set-ups. Larger and more professional recording studios, on the other hand, are usually home to the entire wall-integrated cabinets that, in terms of price, easily set you back the same amount as a brand-new family car. Luckily, there's also a happy medium that can be struck here: a mid-field monitor such as the Eve Audio SC4070. It's big, offers pro-grade audio, and stays nicely on the more affordable side of things.

The Eve Audio SC4070

This truly stunning active studio monitor has a 4-way design, which means that compared to 2-ways and 3-ways, the internal speakers don't have as big of a workload to handle and delegate their tasks via built-in cross-overs. As a result, each speaker vibrates more tightly, lending the reproduced audio maximum sonic accuracy. All in all, the SC4070 covers a 32Hz to 25kHz frequency range, which is definitely vast enough for the full-range sound of, say, orchestra music.

Large and Loud

Since it weighs in at a total of 1000 Watts of power, it's safe to say you won't need any hearing aids with this studio monitor. Loud kettle-drums are blasted out in all of their glory, and the unit can be set up either vertically or horizontally since the mid-section (the mid and the tweeter) are rotatable. If your budget stretches far enough, the Eve Audio SC4070 is a solid investment and an upgrade to any studio where flawless mixes are demanded.
