The EVE Audio SC305 is a highly advanced, compact three-way active studio monitor that proves you don't need a massive control room to experience true 3-way audio resolution. Designed specifically for critical nearfield listening where space is at a premium, this horizontally oriented monitor delivers the authentic, well-balanced sound imaging usually reserved for much larger systems. Engineered for immense versatility, the SC305 performs flawlessly as part of a highly detailed stereo pair, or as a perfectly articulate center channel within a complex surround-sound studio setup.
The secret behind the incredibly balanced sound of the EVE Audio SC305 lies in its intelligent driver distribution. The monitor features two proprietary 5-inch SilverCone woofers (utilizing a glass-fiber-coated honeycomb membrane). While they look identical, they serve entirely different acoustic purposes: one woofer acts purely as a low-frequency driver (handling 50 Hz up to 350 Hz), while the other operates as a bass-midrange driver (sweeping all the way up to 2800 Hz). This drastically reduces mechanical inertia and physical strain on the cones, resulting in highly efficient, distortion-free sound transmission. The high frequencies are handled by EVE's acclaimed Air Motion Transformer (AMT RS3), which utilizes a large internal magnet to drive pristine, highly efficient top-end transients.
Powering this sophisticated array are three individual 50W PWM (Class-D) amplifiers, providing a total output of 150W and allowing the speaker to push a maximum SPL of 108 dB with ease. At the core of the speaker is a high-resolution DSP engine, fed by a premium Burr-Brown A/D converter (24-bit/192 kHz). The sleek, front-mounted SMART-knob surrounded by an LED ring gives engineers immediate, intuitive control over system volume and room-adaptation acoustic filters (High-shelf, Low-shelf, and Desk filter) to perfectly tune the monitor to the specific acoustic properties of their studio space.
