PSW Staff 05/21/10 11:37 AM, 0 CommentsProvided by Sweetwater. Q: I know a lot of guys (myself included) who like to run their studio monitors loud. I like it because it sounds good, you can “feel” it, and clients/musicians are impressed. However, I always hear people talking about protecting their hearing.

The simplest two-way systems have a single cone driver and a high-frequency driver, side by each. Some employ dual woofers, and those with a center high-frequency section that provides horizontal symmetry. Quasi-three-way solutions use dual woofers, but cross one over earlier, so the other is the single source of mid-range, eliminating cancellations. True three-way designs… View this story
