Honesty
When it comes to your studio recordings,
you want honesty. In fact, considering how
important your art is, you should demand
it! That’s why we designed the new B3030A
and B3031A Reference Monitors to speak
nothing but the TRUTH. Oh, they still sound
great hooked up to your stereo or your video
surround system, but they were really built
with the studio in mind — where every note
you play or sing is“under the microscope.”
Built on a Legacy
Our TRUTH B2030A and B2031A monitors
have been so wildly successful that we’ve sold
thousands upon thousands of them to some of
the most critical ears on the planet. So, from the
moment we started this project, we knew these
new speakers would have to be something really
special, and indeed they are!
Years of R’n’D
For the past two years our
Research and Development
team has been on a mission
to create the“perfect”studio
monitor. Since the TRUTH
B2031A had already become
the industry standard, our
acoustic engineers decided
to start there and see just
how far they could push the
envelope. They tried a variety
of transducers and enclosure
designs, along with existing
and emerging technologies.
When all the dust settled, they
chose to deploy an ultra-high
resolution, 2"velocity ribbon
transducer and a long-throw,
Kevlar-coned woofer in a
deformation-resistant, die-cast
aluminum chassis.
Why Kevlar?
We’re glad you asked.
Kevlar has an incredible
strength-to-weight ratio —
that’s one reason it’s used in
bulletproof vests. Kevlar gives
our LF transducer the strength
to handle the extremely
high energy levels required
for distortion-free, chest-
pounding bass. And since
they have such low mass,
Kevlar speaker cones also

Studio Monitors
respond much more quickly than those made
of paper, important for not only maintaining
bass content integrity, but critical for midrange
accuracy and definition. Our Kevlar transducers
reproduce even the subtlest nuance of the
low-frequency realm without muddying
the midrange.
What’s with the funny-looking tweeter?
Ribbon tweeters bring a level of accuracy
and sophistication to high-resolution studio
monitors that was previously unattainable.
They provide exceptionally wide horizontal
dispersion (for a larger“sweet-spot”), while
holding the vertical dispersion extremely tight.
And since our ribbon transducer diaphragm is
virtually weightless, it reacts instantaneously
to changes in the high-frequency content.
Now, not only do you hear the dulcet tones of
a flute, you hear the breath flowing through
it... You hear the wind chimes bouncing off
each other... You can hear the fingernails on the
nylon strings of a classical guitar…
Another reason why ribbon tweeters
are so supremely accurate is their ability to
reproduce frequencies far above our normal
hearing range. Even though we can’t hear
these “ultrasonics,” the lower harmonics they
generate do affect the way we experience the
stereo image. For instance, a 30 kHz signal is
too high for us to hear, but we can hear its first
sub-harmonic (15 kHz), second sub-harmonic
(7.5 kHz), and third (3.75 kHz), etc. All these
sub-harmonics combine with the primary
sound to create stunning realism.

Power to the People
It takes quite a bit more than just a
“bulletproof” woofer and a high-tech
ribbon tweeter stuck inside a fancy box
to make a studio monitor of this class.
It also takes power — and lots of it! But
even more importantly, that power has
to be matched to the individual high-
and low-frequency tranducers. While
some of our competitors are content
to stick whatever speakers they have
on the shelf into haphazardly designed
boxes and then strap on a one-size-
fits-all amplifier package, we build
every single component from the
ground up.

We pack 225-Watts of bi-amped technology
(including a time- and phase-corrected active
crossover) into every B3031A (110-Watts for
B3030A), ensuring that you have the enormous
power reserves you’ll need to drive them
really hard.

Designed to Work in Your
Environment
The ideal environment for listening
is a room that is“flat,”neither too
reflective (echoes) nor too absorptive
(where the sound is muffled). But
since all rooms are not the same
acoustically, all TRUTH monitors come
equipped to function in a wide variety
of situations. Switches are provided to
adapt the monitor’s low- and high-
frequency characteristics for optimal
performance specific to your listening
environment.
Placement is also critical. Ideally,
all loudspeakers should be placed
away from walls to ensure proper bass
response. But fear not, B3030A/B3031A
monitors feature Room Compensation
switches so you can place them
against walls, or even in corners.
Walls tend to enhance low-frequency
content, and corners exaggerate
bass even more, but your TRUTH
monitor can be custom-tailored to
provide honest bass response for your
situation, with the simple flick
of a switch or two.
Non-fatiguing, Wide “Sweet Spot”
While some of our competitor’s
studio monitors have a highly focused
“sweet spot”(the optimal listening
position for a pair of loudspeakers),
our wave-guide is designed to create
a much more generous, broader
listening zone. That means you won’t
wear a hole in the carpet in that one
spot where everything sounds great.
You are free to move around inside the
stereo image to find the ideal spot in
the mix for subtle instrument or effects
placement opportunities. You also
won’t suffer the ravages of“monitor-
fatigue-syndrome,”an ailment that
comes from listening to harsh high-
mids and treble content for hours
on end. The new 2"velocity ribbon
transducer, along with our proprietary
wave-guide design, generates silky-
smooth high-end that is non-fatiguing,
even during those all-night mix-down
sessions that can test your nerves.
