Know before you buy
Yes, the S2V is specifically designed for small to medium-sized control rooms. Its compact footprint makes it an excellent choice for desktop setups where space is limited but high-fidelity monitoring is required.
The S-ART ribbon tweeter provides exceptionally crisp and detailed high-frequency reproduction. This design minimizes distortion and helps deliver a wide sweet spot, allowing for more accurate mixing decisions.
Absolutely. The S2V features integrated DSP that allows for room tuning via the S-Control app. You can use the onboard EQ presets to compensate for room modes or adjust the frequency response to suit your specific listening environment.
No, the S2V is an active monitor with built-in amplification. It features a 300W amplifier for the woofer and a 50W amplifier for the tweeter, so you can connect your audio interface directly to the speakers.
The S2V offers both analog XLR inputs and digital AES3 inputs. There is also a USB port, which is primarily used for connecting to the S-Control software for DSP configuration and room tuning.
The S2V features a 7-inch bass driver capable of reaching down to 35 Hz. For most mixing and critical listening tasks in small to medium rooms, this provides sufficient low-end extension without the immediate need for a dedicated subwoofer.
