Know before you buy
The 8-inch SilverCone woofer provides significant low-end extension down to 36 Hz, which is excellent for full-range monitoring. However, in smaller rooms, you may need to utilize the built-in DSP settings to manage bass buildup and ensure the sound remains accurate.
Yes, the SC208 features both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs. This allows you to connect them to professional audio interfaces as well as standard consumer-grade preamps or DACs.
The AMT RS2 tweeter uses a folded ribbon design to move air more efficiently than a traditional dome tweeter. This results in highly detailed, transparent high frequencies with significantly lower distortion, even at higher volumes.
All adjustments are handled through the single multi-function knob located on the front panel. This interface allows you to navigate the DSP menu to calibrate volume, filter settings, and room-specific acoustic adjustments without needing external software.
No, the SC208 is an active monitor with a built-in 200-watt amplifier. You only need to provide a line-level signal from your audio interface or mixer.
The safety limiter is an internal protection circuit that prevents the amplifier from overdriving the drivers. It helps protect the woofer and tweeter from damage during unexpected volume spikes or sustained high-output sessions.
