EVE Audio SC307 Active 3-Way Nearfield Studio Monitor with 6.5-Inch Woofer and 114 dB Max SPL

The EVE Audio SC307 Active 3-Way Nearfield Studio Monitor highly accurate sound reproduction and a true dynamic response. The 3-way precision is the most important feature featuring a frequency range of 40 Hz to 21 kHz, a 6.5-inch woofer size and 114 dB maximum sound pressure level. The SC307 is a powerful monitor perfectly suited for near- and midfield monitoring. And, in surround set ups, it will work excellently as a center channel too. The nearfield monitor combines the power from three different amplifiers to deliver a very efficient, dynamic and low noise sound reproduction. The three-way systems are developed for critical and detailed listening. Although they will be able to provide lots of power and thunderous bass frequencies, they will also excel if you're looking for a precise and very detailed pair of speakers.
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.
Efficient Sound Reproduction
The three-way systems are designed around the concept to distribute the frequencies properly between all individual components and raise the efficiency of your speakers effectively. In the three-way systems, each driver (woofers or tweeter) gets its own amplifier. One of the woofers serves frequencies up to 300 Hz as a kind of ‘bass’ whilst the other woofer gives you a fuller range as a bass-midrange driver, up to the 3000 Hz crossover frequency. From that frequency on, the AMT tweeter takes over. This minimizes interference between the drivers and also allows the SC307 to deliver a very efficient and dynamic sound reproduction. What this design philosophy means is that less effective physical work is being made by each individual woofer, as the band of frequencies to be reproduced are divided between both woofers. This in turn will result in less mechanical inertia and a more efficient sound transmission.
Tech Talk
Both woofers consist of the proprietary 6.5-inch SilverCone, the same that is used in the two-way system, the SC207, and features the sophisticated low distortion copper cap magnet system. However, due to the fact that two of these woofers are being used simultaneously, you get a bigger frequency response down to 40 Hz. The SC307 also makes use of the proprietary AMT RS2 tweeter, which uses a bigger front plate, and a bigger internal magnet to drive the AMT tweeter with greater efficiency. The three 100 W PWM power amplifiers won't leave you lacking any power either, as the maximum sound pressure level of 114 dB (SPL at 1m) will attest. And no worries determining how to place the SC307 in your room or studio properly. The DSP section will assist you in choosing the speaker for left and right hand side. So you will always get proper symmetry between your speakers, instead of having to move them around as usually. With a DIP switch located, on the rear of speakers these settings for room adaption can be temporarily locked. 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.
