Know before you buy
Ultra-nearfield means these speakers are specifically engineered to be placed within a few feet of your ears, typically on a desktop. By minimizing the distance between you and the drivers, the system reduces the influence of your room's acoustics, providing a more direct and accurate sound.
While they are designed for critical monitoring and mixing, they are excellent for general listening if you value accuracy and detail. Because they prioritize a neutral, precise sound profile, you will hear your music exactly as it was recorded, rather than with enhanced bass or colored tones.
The system offers flexible connectivity options including RCA and Optical inputs. This allows you to easily connect to most standard audio interfaces, DACs, or computers with optical output.
The IN-UNF is specifically designed for compact workspaces. Its form factor is optimized for desktop placement, allowing you to achieve a professional monitoring setup without sacrificing your entire work surface.
The IN-UNF is a complete system that includes the bass unit as part of its design. You do not need to purchase an additional subwoofer, as the system is calibrated to provide a full-range monitoring experience out of the box.
