Overview
The Sceptre® S8 two-way monitor combines an 8-inch low/mid-frequency driver and a 1-inch (25 mm), horn-loaded, high-frequency transducer into a single coaxial unit with aligned voice coils. Its advanced coaxial design, based on Fulcrum Acoustic's TQ™ Temporal Equalization, works integrally with a 32-bit, 96 kHz, dual-core processor to deliver clarity and coherence that has previously only been available in ultra-high-end systems. Add 180 watt, Class D biamplification; acoustic ports; a rich set of acoustic adjustments; and full speaker protection; and you have a new, affordable monitoring standard.

Highlights
CoActual Speaker Design
CoActual speakers employ a HF driver placed in the middle of the LF driver for symmetrical response horizontally and vertically, increasing the sweet spot, clarity and imaging. An onboard DSP running Fulcrum Acoustics’ TQ™ algorithms provides detailed adjustments for an even mid-range with an inaudible crossover transition.
Accurate transient reproduction.
Consonant sounds in speech, percussion, and attack and decay of musical instruments are all transient signals. When reproduced accurately, the result is sonic transparency, definition, and intelligibility. With their excellent transient reproduction, CoActual speakers minimize distortion and produce clean, clear, consistent audio at any SPL.
World-class recording software included.
Sceptre S8 studio monitors come with a special edition of PreSonus® Studio One™ Prime recording and production software, with the entire Studio Magic software suite enabled. Studio Magic includes over $1,000 USD worth of music software including plug-ins, loops, virtual instruments, effects and tutorials.
