The award winning Sonodyne SM100Ak has an extended LF response compared to its smaller sibling, the SM50Ak and also offers a wider sweet-spot. This, in conjunction with a higher SPL, readies it for the more demanding applications such as multi-channel audio monitoring in larger rooms.
We have also found that many musician-engineers prefer the tonal quality and 'musicality' of these rock-solid speakers. Magnetically shielded it may be placed beside video monitors.
The Sonodyne SM100Ak is perfect for recording, mixing, post-production and broadcast applications.
The SM100Ak can be used with the SLF210 Sub Woofer for 2.1 and 5.1 applications.
