The 1031A is a compact monitoring Speaker designed for broad band high output and low coloration. Due to its small cabinet, this Speaker is ideally suited to applications such as: high powered Near Field monitoring, TV broadcast monitoring and mobile vans This speakers precision even allows for CD mastering. It may be either horizontally or vertically mounted, by simple rotation of the Directivity Control Waveguide (DCW). Designed as an active Speaker, this unit includes drivers, power ^ amplifiers andactive Crossover filtering. This provides a totally dedicated and reliable system which simply requires a signal input and a mains supply. The Amplifier unit is mounted to the rear of the Speaker cabinet on quick release vibration isolators, to ensure long term reliability. This unit incorporates power amplifiers, Bass and treble driver overload protection, Amplifier thermal overload protection, active Crossover filter, treble tilt, Bass tilt and Bass roll-off controls. By use of active tone controls, this Speaker may be exactly matched to any application. These include free field mounting, near field on top of console, wall mounting in control room and even corner mounting. These versatile controls allow for precise alignment of the Speaker to differing acoustic environments, making it a true all rounder. The 1031A uses DCW technology in conjunction with some of the finest driver technology. The woofer unit is a high efficiency 210 mm polymer composite cone, custom optimized for use in a small active cabinet. The tweeter unit is a 25 mm metal dome with pure piston behavior upto 23 kHz. When mounted in the DCW this driver offers superior transient and off axis response to conventional direct radiating soft domes. These has resulted in perfect driver directivity matching as well as phase and delay uniformity at the Crossover frequency. DCW technology also ensures low diffraction and constant directivity in addition to providing higher driver sensitivity. The speakers response is thus flat upto an angle of 60 degrees. The cabinet is constructed of veneered MDF, which is heavily braced to eliminate structural resonance. Carefully placed damping remove internal standing waves which might lead to coloration in the midrange. Non resonant port techniques have been employed to eliminate the effects of port ringing found in conventional designs.
