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.
