Event Studio Precision Series ASP8 Paar Product Details

Description

The first time you listen to a pair of Studio Precision™ monitors, you'll almost surely shake your head in disbelief - then break out in a smile. We've seen it happen time and time again: People just can't believe that they're hearing a sound so big and so alive coming from direct field monitors. But your ears aren't deceiving you. Studio Precision monitors deliver a sound that's much wider, much deeper, much more defined, and packed with much more low-end punch than mere mortal direct field monitors. Simply put, they far exceed people's sonic expectations - and by a huge margin.

You see, even after years of designing a slew of award-winning products for the professional studio monitor market - the 20/20bas™, Project Studio™, and Tuned Reference™ biamplified monitors, to name a few - our venerable engineers, Frank Kelly and Walter Dick, were still on their quest to deliver the ultimate direct field monitor. They wanted to come up with a totally new design that would surpass anything they had done to date. A design that would cause recording musicians around the world to sit up and truly take notice. In short, a design that would bring a whole new dimension to the direct field monitoring experience.

So that's what they did. Sure, it took them two-and-a-half years. But, hey, they had to start from scratch.
