Know before you buy
Focus mode allows you to switch the monitor from its standard 2.5-way configuration to a full-range mode. This acts as a secondary reference, helping you check how your mix translates to smaller speakers or systems with limited frequency response.
The monitor includes LF and HF shelving controls, as well as a 160Hz low-pass filter. These allow you to adjust the speaker's output to compensate for common acoustic issues, such as bass buildup near walls or overly reflective high-frequency surfaces.
Beryllium is an incredibly rigid and lightweight material, which allows the tweeter to reproduce high frequencies with exceptional speed and accuracy. This results in a highly detailed top end that helps you make precise decisions regarding equalization and compression.
No, the Twin6 ST6 is an active studio monitor, meaning the amplification is built directly into the cabinet. You only need to connect your audio interface or monitor controller to the inputs.
The large laminar port is engineered to minimize air turbulence, which often causes audible noise or 'chuffing' at high volumes. This ensures that the low-end reproduction remains clean, tight, and free from port-related distortion.
The automatic stand-by mode is a power-saving feature that puts the monitors to sleep when no signal is detected for a period of time. While it is standard for energy efficiency, you should check the user manual for specific instructions on how to manage this setting based on your workflow.
