The EVE Audio SC205 All Black is a highly exclusive, limited-edition version of the critically acclaimed compact active studio monitor. In this unique release, EVE Audio’s signature silver woofer is replaced with a sleek, all-matte-black cone, perfectly matching the dark aesthetics preferred in many modern control rooms and production suites. While boasting a highly stealthy appearance, the SC205 All Black sacrifices none of the audio fidelity its series is famous for, remaining an incredibly precise, reliable near-field monitoring solution for space-conscious professional engineers, meticulous producers, and discerning audiophiles.
At the core of the SC205 All Black is an expertly engineered driver arrangement. The low and mid frequencies are masterfully handled by the proprietary 5-inch woofer. Its extremely rigid glass-fiber-coated honeycomb diaphragm allows the small driver to operate with low distortion and an impressively tight, dynamic bass extension down to 53 Hz. Managing the crucial upper frequencies is EVE's acclaimed AMT RS1 (Air Motion Transformer) tweeter. Unlike standard dome tweeters, this hand-folded driver moves air exceptionally efficiently, delivering crystal-clear, distortion-free high-frequency transients up to 21 kHz, totally devoid of harshness and listening fatigue.
The system is intelligently managed by a pristine, high-resolution DSP engine that is flawless fed by premium Burr-Brown A/D converters. Pushing the sound are two 50W PWM (Class-D) amplifiers (totaling 100W per speaker), enabling the SC205 to hit a maximum SPL of 101 dB. A standout feature is the intuitive front-panel SMART-knob encircled by an LED ring, granting single-push control over system volume and advanced acoustic room adaptation. This allows engineers to perfectly integrate the monitor into their specific space using built-in DSP filters: Low-Shelf, High-Shelf, and a highly practical dual-stage Desk EQ.
