characteristics for optimal performance specifi c
to your listening environment.
Placement is also critical. Ideally, all
loudspeakers should be placed away from walls
to ensure proper bass response. But fear not,
B1030A monitors feature Room Compensation
switches so you can place them against walls,
or even in corners. Walls tend to enhance low-
frequency content, and corners exaggerate
bass even more, but your TRUTH monitor can
be custom-tailored to provide honest bass
response for your situation, with the simple fl ick
of a switch or two.

Non-fatiguing, Wide “Sweet Spot”
While some of our competitors’
studio monitors have a highly focused
“sweet spot” (the optimal listening
position for a pair of loudspeakers),
our wave-guide is designed to create
a much more generous, broader
listening zone. That means you won’t
wear a hole in the carpet in that one
spot where everything sounds great.
You are free to move around inside
the stereo image to fi nd the ideal
spot in the mix for subtle instrument
or eff ects placement opportunities.
You also won’t suff er the ravages
of “monitor-fatigue-syndrome,” an
ailment that comes from listening to
harsh high-mids and treble content
for hours on end — a pretty important
consideration for those all-night mix-
down sessions that can really test your
nerves.
What’s Up with the RCA Connectors?
Yes, it is a bit unconventional
to put RCA sockets on a studio
monitor — but why not? Now you
can connect B1030A loudspeakers
to your computer, mp3 player or
television receiver for amazing sonic
performance. For a truly versatile
setup, use one of our USB audio
interfaces (the UCA222, for example)
to connect to/from your computer.
This convenient setup allows you to
monitor your recording projects, and
mix and master them, directly from
your computer. And you can place
these speakers right next to your video
monitor, thanks to B1030A’s internal
magnetic shielding.
