About this listing
Bought from new. these are the mk2 versions, i am selling because i no longer have my studio. I still have the boxes, manuals and speaker covers. any questions feel free to reach out.SAME DAY / NEXT DAY DELIVERY BY HAND. Depending on location in England / Wales.Description:The major innovation of the SM9 is that it has been designed to be two loudspeakers in one: a highly accurate, 30Hz-40kHz three-way speaker or, in 'Focus' mode, a bandwidth-restricted two-way system that allows the checking of EQ and balance in the mid-range, as well as the transfer of a mix to more modest domestic systems with limited frequency responses.The very first thing that you notice about an SM9 is its weight. At 35kg each, they make even a short flight of stairs seem longer than you remembered, and necessitate sturdy stands for support. Once they're free of their individual packaging, you'll find yourself looking at a mirror pair of surprisingly small, stylish, 'landscape' mounting black boxes, with the main drivers filling the front, a passive radiator in the centre of the top and a rear panel dominated by a massive heat-sink.The front-panel driver layout is that of a two-way monitor with a larger bass driver sitting to the side. The cabinet itself is divided internally into two entirely separate, sealed sections, one containing the treble and mid-range drivers and the other the bass driver and passive radiator. The front panel also carries an LED that indicates both operating and fault statuses.In addition to the aforementioned heat sink, the rear of the cabinet carries the amplifier EQ controls, an XLR audio connector (switchable between -10dBu and +4dBV sensitivity) and an IEC power connector. The EQ section is made up of a high-pass filter and a separate equaliser.With the high-pass filter at its full-range setting, the filter is bypassed, while three other settings bring in a 12dB/octave filter at either 45Hz, 60Hz or 90Hz. Then there's the five-band EQ, each band having a range of ±3dB, in 0.5dB steps. The low shelf operates in the range of 30-250 Hz, while the separate low bell filter is set at 50Hz. The low-mid EQ is centred on 160Hz, and is designed to deal with reflections that can arise when the SM9 is mounted on a console meter bridge. The mid-range band is centred at 1KHz, and the HF shelf takes care of frequencies between 4.5kHz and 40kHz.
