HIGH
DEFINITION MONITOR
- Description
The ISP Technologies High Definition Monitor 210 speakers are a high output 3-way active speaker system with fidelity and resolution that will put many studio monitors to shame. Their shape and light weight allows them to be pole mounted, used as floor wedges, and of course ground stacked. When used as wedges, their outstanding midrange clarity and transient response, much better than 2-way systems, result in top-class vocal monitor performance. When used with subwoofers, they form a potent, high fidelity front-of-house system of minimum size and maximum portability. The 3-way design vastly reduces the problems inherent in two-way designs which cause transient smearing and lack of clarity. First, to achieve high output with the low crossover point demanded by a 2-way design (typically 1.0 to 1.5 KHz), competitors use 3-inch diaphragm compression drivers. The larger path lengths involved in these larger drivers result in audible HF rolloffs (requiring large amounts of power to be pumped into them), sharp response peaks and dips, diaphragm breakups and resonance's, all of which result in transient smear, lack of clarity, and just plain bad highs. The higher crossover point afforded by a 3-way design (3 KHz) allows use of a 1.75 inch diaphragm driver, which nearly eliminates these problems. The high energy neodymium driver used actually has higher sensitivity above 10 KHz than any 3-inch diaphragm driver, so that at 15 KHz only one-quarter of the power is required compared to the 3-inch driver! Second, the dual midrange compression drivers have much higher sensitivity and virtually no cone breakup when compared to cone drivers. This results in much better transient attack, lack of compression, and resolution of detail than any 2-way or even 3-way system using cone drivers. They also allow a lower crossover point to the cone woofers than in a two-way system. Third, the use of dual 10-inch woofers results in equal or greater output than a single 15-inch woofer. This is aided by the higher power handling and lower power compression which results: a single 15-inch woofer would need a 5-inch voice coil, which does not exist, to equal the performance of our dual voice coils. The smaller cones also have much higher breakup frequencies than a 15-inch cone. This, coupled with the lower crossover frequency, again results in better clarity and transient performance from these dual 10-inch cones than would result from a single 15-inch cone. Standard with the system is a 3-channel, 900 Watt rms amplifier/electronic crossover that is specifically designed for use with the speaker. This amplifier features ISP’s patent pending DCAT high-current amplification technology. A cooling fan automatically switches on when needed.
