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 1" dome tweeter and a
long-throw 5.25" Kevlar-coned woofer in the
B1030A.
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 respond much more quickly than
those made of paper, important for not only
maintaining bass content integrity, but critical
for midrange accuracy and defi nition. Our
Kevlar transducers reproduce even the subtlest
nuance of the low-frequency realm without
muddying the midrange.
Power to the People
It takes quite a bit more than just a
“bulletproof” woofer and a high-tech 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 transducers. 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-
ts-all amplifi er package, we build every single
component from the ground up.
We pack 75-Watts of bi-amped technology
(including a time- and phase-corrected active
crossover) into every B1030A, 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 “fl at,” neither too
refl ective (echoes) nor too absorptive
(where the sound is muffl ed). 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
