Know before you buy
Yes. Because the Shape Twin uses a closed design with dual passive diaphragms rather than a rear-firing port, you can position them near walls without worrying about unwanted bass buildup or boominess.
The 2.5-way system allows one woofer to handle the low frequencies while the other covers the low-mid range. This configuration provides superior control over the bass and ensures the midrange remains clear and detailed.
The low-directivity tweeter is designed to provide a stable listening position, meaning you don't have to stay perfectly locked in one spot to hear an accurate stereo image. It offers more flexibility when moving around your studio.
No, the Shape Twin is an active monitor, meaning it has its own built-in 210 W amplifier. You only need to connect your audio source via XLR or RCA cables.
Yes, the monitor features comprehensive manual frequency correction settings on the back panel. These allow you to adjust the output to compensate for your room's specific acoustics and integration needs.
The woofers use a Flax sandwich diaphragm. This material is lightweight and rigid, which helps deliver tight, controlled bass and a very natural, transparent midrange response.
