EVE Audio SC3010 Active 3-Way Main Studio Monitor with 10-Inch Woofer and 126 dB Maximum SPL

The EVE Audio SC3010 Active 3-Way Main Studio Monitor is for farfield applications in every professional production environment. It has precise power on all frequencies, a frequency range of 29 Hz to 21 kHz, a 10-inch woofer size, and a 126 dB maximum sound pressure level. For large recording and mastering studios, film and television post-production facilities, cinema applications, and in-wall installations, nothing beats the main monitors SC3010. The SC3010 systems feature a very powerful amplifier array, with one amplifier per driver. All drivers, and especially the proprietary AMT RS6 tweeter, are developed to deliver high sound pressure levels, extremely low distortion and an optimized directivity. Together with the ultra-stiff plywood front plate and a special inner construction to lower resonances, they offer a smooth directivity, highly defined mids, pristine high frequencies and a powerful and tight low end. The SC3010 systems are also built with in-wall installations in mind. In this case, simply adjust the filter controls to ‘inwall’. A set of high-density foam is provided to close the backfiring bass ports. The silver module housing the midrange driver and the AMT RS6 tweeter can be rotated by 90 degrees allowing you to set up the speakers either horizontally or vertically.
More than Just a Speaker
Even if the focus is on the sound the monitors offer a holistic solution that is well thought out from A to Z.
SMART-Knob
Simply set and save filters and volume.
Bass-Reflex Design
For precise bass reproduction without background noise.
Parameter Lock
Your settings are saved (even without power).
Safe Fade-In
A slow volume increase when switching on protects ears and equipment. The smallest of the biggest. The SC3010 is the smallest of the biggest in the range of main monitors and able to reproduce the entire audible frequency range with an ultra-low level of distortion. One 10-inch double coated low resonance metal diaphragm bass woofer, with a long excursion, provides for an extraordinarily clean low frequency reproduction down to 30 Hz (minus 3 dB) and easily reproduces all audio content, even at higher than usual SPL's. The SC3010 also features the newly developed 5-inch midrange unit. Its glass fibre layered Rohacel sandwich diaphragm delivers a clear and detailed midrange frequency reproduction. Both the 10-inch SilverCone woofer and 5-inch SilverCone midrange are equipped with the very low distortion copper cap magnet system. The exclusive SC3010 is the large Air Motion Transformer AMT RS6. This AMT is 2.5 times bigger than the RS1, RS2 and RS3 Air Motion Transformer units, and it is a crucial part of the system as it helps to couple the middle and high frequencies with great precision. The team was able to engineer the RS6 to set its crossover frequency at 1800 Hz, a very important frequency for human hearing and subsequently, music production.
Judge Your Mixes More Precisely
Each driver is provided with its own separate PWM amplifier that is able to deliver a short-term output power of 250 W per tweeter and midrange channel and 800 W for the low-end driver. With a maximum output level of 114 dB (SPL at 1 m), you will definitely be able to judge your mixes precisely, whatever their final intended output level is. The SC3010 is a three-way system that combines powerful bass reproduction with a very transparent and present mid-range and crystal clear high frequency reproduction. Make no mistakes: whether you're producing your new hip-hop hit or mastering the contemporary works, the SC3010's will be there for you and they will tell it like it is. Bad mixes no longer have a place to hide. As with every other EVE Audio speaker, you get both balanced XLR inputs and unbalanced RCA inputs for greater convenience.
The Air Motion Transformer
The tweeters base on the ribbon tweeter technology. The brand EVE Audio reinvented the own version of the AMT which the speakers are well known for.
Understanding the Air Motion Transformer
The Air Motion Transformer (AMT) is a unique driver technology, distinct from other audio drivers. It utilizes a lightweight, hand-folded diaphragm that is thinly coated with aluminum. The current of the music signal flows through these conductive strands. The diaphragm is placed in a powerful magnetic field leading to movement in the folds caused by the Lorenz force. Due to the opposing direction of the current the walls of each single fold work against each other. The air between the folds is squeezed in and out at a ratio of 1:4, compared to the 1:1 ratio of a regular dome tweeter. This results in higher resolution and dynamics in the tweeter section, along with a very low distortion level, allowing superior sound quality with enhanced detail and clarity.
Powering On and Off Standby Mode
Press and hold the control three seconds in order to put the monitor in Standby mode. The volume will decrease gradually while the LED ring lights up once around the Volume control. Afterwards, the LED on the right end will remain dimly lit and the power consumption is reduced to 1 watt.
Volume
The volume can be adjusted by turning the knob. Depending on the LED mode selected, the volume will be displayed as a dim and bright circle or as a dim and bright point.
Mute
To put the monitor in Mute Mode, turn the Volume control counter clockwise until you reach the minimum level. When the LED on the left end lights up dimly the Mute Mode is activated.
Settings
Press the SMART-knob once to enter the Settings menu. Here you can set different filters as well as the LED ring's behavior. The LED of the currently active function blinks.
