1. ESI Audiotechnik active10s
In many studio environments, a subwoofer is often an essential component of the monitoring setup. Although many nearfield monitors like our active 05, uniK 04, or uniK 05 provide sufficient bass reproduction for many applications, an additional active 10s subwoofer allows for better playback, enabling a clearer assessment of the low-frequency sound image. Whether you traditionally work with 2.1 or create 5.1 / 7.1 surround mixes is not crucial: enhance your monitoring with a solid bass foundation. The robust sound, compact dimensions, and design of the active 10s will surely convince you right away.
