Honesty
When it comes to your studio recordings,
you want honesty. In fact, considering how
important your art is, you should demand
it! That’s why we designed the new B3030A
and B3031A Reference Monitors to speak
nothing but the TRUTH. Oh, they still sound
great hooked up to your stereo or your video
surround system, but they were really built
with the studio in mind — where every note
you play or sing is “under the microscope.”
Built on a Legacy
Our TRUTH B2030A and B2031A monitors
have been so wildly successful that we’ve sold
thousands upon thousands of them to some of
the most critical ears on the planet. So, from the
moment we started this project, we knew these
new speakers would have to be something really
special, and indeed they are!
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, 2" velocity ribbon
transducer and a long-throw,
Kevlar-coned woofer in a
deformation-resistant, die-cast
aluminum chassis.
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
