What’s with the funny-looking tweeter?
Ribbon tweeters bring a level of accuracy
and sophistication to high-resolution studio
monitors that was previously unattainable.
They provide exceptionally wide horizontal
dispersion (for a larger “sweet-spot”),
while holding the vertical dispersion extremely
tight. And since our ribbon transducer diaphragm
is virtually weightless, it reacts instantaneously to
changes in the high-frequency content. Now, not
only do you hear the dulcet tones of a  ute, you
hear the breath  owing through it... You hear the
wind chimes bouncing o each other... You can
hear the  ngernails on the nylon strings of a
classical guitar…
Another reason why ribbon tweeters are so
supremely accurate is their ability to reproduce
frequencies far above our normal hearing range.
Even though we can’t hear these “ultrasonics,”
the lower harmonics they generate do a ect
the way we experience the stereo image.
For instance, a 30 kHz signal is too high for us
to hear, but we can hear its  rst sub-harmonic
(15 kHz), second sub-harmonic (7.5 kHz),
and third (3.75 kHz), etc. All these sub-harmonics
combine with the primary sound to create
stunning realism.
Power to the People
It takes quite a bit more than just a
“bulletproof” woofer and a high-tech
ribbon 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 tranducers. 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 ampli er
package, we build every single component
from the ground up.
We pack 225-Watts of bi-amped
technology (including a time- and
phase-corrected active crossover) into
every B3031A (110-Watts for B3030A),
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 “ at,” neither too re ective
(echoes) nor too absorptive (where the
sound is mu 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 monitor’s
low- and high-frequency characteristics
for optimal performance speci c to your
listening environment.
