The Tapco S8 (Pair) Active studio monitors. Designed to be transparent, producing uncoloured sound for critical desktop monitoring in home recording studios, video editing suites, and home theater systems.
The Tapco S8 Active Studio Monitor features rich, accurate sound, with excellent stereo imaging and a "sweet spot" you just won't believe possible in a monitor this affordable. The S 8 active studio monitors are designed to be transparent, producing uncoloured sound for critical desktop monitoring in home recording studios, video editing suites, and home theater systems. The Tapco S 8 monitors' two-way bass reflex design provides an amazingly flat frequency response and benefits from complete system integration with active crossovers, dual 60-watt power amplifiers, precision drivers (8-inch LF, 1-inch HF) and a custom-tuned, ported cabinet. The Tapco S 8 has fine calibration controls that let you adjust the low (+2, +4 dB below 100Hz) and high (+/- 2dB above 5kHz) frequency response to correct any bad influences caused by the room. More importantly, these controls help to ensure that the great sounds you get with the S 8 also sound great on your home stereo, in the car, and anywhere else your music is played. Tapco have added some extra circuitry just to keep your S 8 monitors performing their best. The S 8 monitors are tuned to maximize efficiency, but they can get hot when used in the real world. If the electronics get too hot, separate thermal switches activate and shut down the high and/or low frequency amplifiers until they cool down. An Over-excursion filter, just before the low frequency amplifier protects the woofer from shredding itself when the low-end is driven to the maximum. These extra protections ensure long life and monitors you can count on at all times. Finally, the Tapco S 8 includes magnetic shielding to protect your computer display or television from being permanently tweaked from the powerful magnets found inside the S 8.
