The single, red PSI Audio A214-M is a powered, center-channel monitor designed to be tonally balanced with high-resolution detail and efficient transient response for accuracy in surround setups. The speaker is versatile enough to be used for standard near-field studio monitoring applications. The bi-amplifier delivers 120W to the two 5.8" woofers and 40W to the 3.9" tweeter, which combine to provide a frequency response of 53 Hz to 23 kHz at an SPL of 108 dB with a single speaker and 119 dB per pair.

The amplifier output also features the AOI output stages, while the active crossover with integrated CPR delivers an impulse behavior with accurate stereo imaging. The crossover is also optimized for maximum phase coherence, projecting a wide horizontal and vertical listening area.

The rear panel offers a balanced XLR input and features a volume control and a roll-off control for optimizing the low frequencies for standalone use or when using an optional subwoofer. The PSI Audio A214-M ships with a power cord, anti-slippage stickers, and an individual frequency-response diagram.

2 x 5.8" Woofers and 3.9" Tweeter Class-G Amplifier: Bi-Amp 120W + 40W Frequency Response: 53 Hz to 23 kHz Max SPL: 108 dB Balanced XLR Input Designed for Center Channel Surround Use AOI, ALG, CPR, PSC Technology For Surround Monitoring Applications Volume and Roll-Off Controls

The AOI system is made up of a system that detects the movement of the membrane and the coil, as well as a filtered counter reaction. This is then tuned to achieve the ideal dampening rate for each frequency

The ALG is used in all regular 2-way and 3-way PSI Audio speakers. The shape and dimensions of the waveguide used in PSI Audio's custom tweeter is specially designed to optimize directivity, as well as maximize sound-pressure level, and extend bandwidth

The CPR system is made up of several all-pass filters, each acting in a specific range. Combined, they create a compensated phase response, which provides a constant group delay that is kept to the bare minimum through the entirely analog technology

The PSC technology enables to remote activation and deactivation of the standby mode of your loudspeakers via the signal cable

Q: 1. I assume these monitors cannot be used in the vertical orientation?

A: The A8H's waveguides can be rotated, allowing them to be used either horizontally or vertically.

Q: 2. will this fit the smallhd 502?

A: Use the HAV6P.

Q: 3. Will this work on the Blackmagic Ursa Mini fold out LCD?

A: This product is designed specifically for RED Touchscreen Monitors. However the Ursa Mini does have a 5 screen as well, so this may fit on it as well.

Q: 4. will this fit for the iphone 13 pro max with a 6.68" screen?

Q: 5. Will this work on the new RED Raven 4.7 LCD?

A: Our opinion is that while it is a little big, a copious amount of Velcro will make it work. Just so you know, here is another hood that will have a good chance of working. Wooden Camera LCD Sun Shade (4 to 5 ) B&H # WOWC218700

Q: 6. Is this D2 version?

A: No. The M-Audio BX5 D2 Active 70W 5" 2-Way Studio Monitor Speaker - Pair (B&H # MABX5D2) is a discontinued model. The M-Audio BX5 Graphite 5" 100W Active Studio Monitor is a newer model which is single active studio monitor with updated features and more power.

Q: 7. "These headphones can be used with a computer and a phone? Watch movies and listen to music??

A: Yes, the 512 AUDIO Academy Closed-Back Studio Monitor Headphones can be used with computers and phones that have a 3.5mm headphone output.

Q: 8. do each of the pair of speakers need do be connected to the computer by individual USBs in order to have remote access?

A: They do not. There is an XLR AES3 output is provided to route digital signal to the second monitor, necessary for correct digital signal flow.

Q: 9. What is a reliable, compatible wall mount solution for these monitors?

A: The Mount-It! MI-SB37 Universal Speaker Wall Mounts (Pair) can support up to 55 lb and will accommodate the dimensions of the M-Audio BX5 D3 5" 2-Way 100W Powered Studio Monitor (Single).

Q: 10. What is the A/D Converter for?

A: Because these monitors have DSP (Digital Signal Processors,) a high quality 24 bit/192 kHz A/D converter from Burr-Brown assures a pristine signal to the DSP section. The PWM-amplifiers are directly connected to the DSP section, so no additional conversion is necessary. This guarantees an extreme reliability.

[Vertical] It's nice to be able to organize cables neatly. Also, there is an extra 3.5 cable so it can be connected to various smart devices. 5

[MDF] I read some negative reviews and was skeptical, but decided to purchase them when they were on sale. I’m glad I did. I had very low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. I think this made the difference. I use them for Video and Audio editing. 5

[Single Monitor] The fit is comfortable, sound very clean. Would recommend. 5

[Red] These are really nice headphones for the money - I paid about $20 on a special sale. They are comfortable to wear, the hard case is a nice extra. Great buy! 5

[MDF] I had the opportunity to hear these in action at the AES show in NYC in October of 2017. Three units were located in each of three corners of the room. The door was in the fourth corner and this prevented the use of four units. An IR remote control was available to turn the absorbers on and off. With the system off, we played several low-frequency tones and walked around the room observing nodes and anti-nodes. We then switched the system on and the room response was much more consistent. Bass could now be heard where there had been nodes, and it was no longer overpowering where there had been anti-nodes. We could now walk around the room and hear a much more even bass response. After this we played a kick drum track. With the system off, the kick had a boom sound as it decayed. With the system on, the kick drum was a distinct and well damped thump. The difference was stunning. When listening to music, the absorbers smoothed out the bass response, eliminating annoying room-resonance induced peaks and dips in the response. Very impressed. It would take large volumes of passive absorption material to match the performance of these active devices. 5

[1.8 kHz] Going to the PSI Audio is an upgrade from the Adam A7Xs Id been using for 5 years. While Id say the Adams are 95% of the way to unadulterated flat audio the PSIs bring it up to 98%. For some that small difference might not be worth the large difference in price. All depends on your resources and how you choose to use them. For me monitors and sound treatment are of upmost importance to the realization of my productions. They are the window from which I view sound and a foggy window, or a small window, will impede the seeing of what is there. The PSIs offer a remarkably clean and balanced 3 dimensional imaging. Ive noticed little ear fatigue, even after many hours, unlike the Adams, which can tend to sound brittle after some hours of listening. I use the PSIs as near-fields and find them actually well suited to a 3 distance I normally work at (even though they are recommended for a further distance). With the Adams I employed a sub (either a Genelec or the Adam Sub8). With the PSIs I dont feel the need for a sub. 5

[Red] Bought these on sale and could not have gotten a better deal on some good sounding headphones, happy! 5

[+20.7 dBu] I own one SC-204 that I use as my keyboard monitor. Two SC-205's and TS-108 sub. I use the 205's and sub to gig small home venues. These speakers are great. Flat sound to me and they work. Great sound for mid to upper-mid priced speakers I would buy again and recommend to all. 5
