Sceptre Monitors by PreSonus

Here comes some good news from PreSonus for all the monitor lovers. Also remember to checkout the video at the end of the post.

PreSonus is now shipping the eagerly anticipated Sceptre™-series CoActual™ studio reference monitors. Featuring an advanced coaxial design that works integrally with a 32-bit, 48 kHz processor using Fulcrum Acoustic’s TQ™ Temporal Equalization technology, Sceptre CoActual monitors deliver clarity and coherence that has previously only been available in ultra-high-end systems. Yet they are an affordable investment for project-studio owners—a first for DSP-enabled, TQ-based systems.

The Sceptre S6 CoActual Studio Monitor’s coaxial speaker integrates a 6.5-inch low/mid-frequency driver and a 1-inch (25 mm), horn-loaded, high-frequency transducer. Both models have acoustic ports.

PreSonus Sceptre CoActual-series monitors are available immediately, with an anticipated MAP/street price of $749.95 each for the S8 and $649.95 each for the S6.
