Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Built for monitoring rooms that need substantial level and low-frequency reach, the 8050B combines an 8-inch bass driver with a 1-inch metal-dome treble driver in a bi-amplified design. It is sold as a single monitor, making it suitable for configuring the required number of speakers for a studio, broadcast, surround, mastering, TV, or post-production installation. Intelligent Signal Sensing places the unit in standby after inactivity and turns it back on when audio returns.
