TRUTH — High-Resolution, Active 2-Way Reference Studio Monitor with 5.25" Kevlar Woofer
Honesty
When it comes to your studio recordings, you want honesty. In fact, considering how important your art is, you should demand it! That’s why we designed the new B1030A Reference Monitors to speak nothing but the TRUTH. Oh, they still sound great hooked up to your stereo or your video surround system, but they were really built with the studio in mind — where every note you play or sing is “under the microscope.”
Built on a Legacy
Our TRUTH B2030A and B2031A monitors have been so wildly
successful that we’ve sold thousands upon thousands of them to some of the most critical ears on the planet — ears that demand the neutral sound of a true reference monitor. Ask any recording engineer and they will tell
you that listening to a recording on just a single set of monitors doesn’t always paint an accurate picture of the mix.
Since people listen to music at home, in their cars, on mp3 players, etc., it is critical your final mix be heard on as many sizes and types of speakers as possible. That’s the reason we created these smaller B1030A monitors, plus

they make ideal rear channel speakers for surround sound applications.
Years of R’n’D
For the past two years our Research and Development team has been on a mission to create the “perfect” studio monitor. Since the TRUTH B2031A had already become the industry standard, our acoustic engineers
decided to start there and see just how far they could push the envelope. They tried a variety of transducers and enclosure designs, along with existing and emerging technologies. When
all the dust settled, they chose to deploy an ultra-high resolution 1" dome tweeter and a long-throw 5.25" Kevlar-coned woofer in the B1030A.
Why Kevlar?
We’re glad you asked. Kevlar has an incredible strength-to-weight ratio — that’s one reason it’s used in bulletproof vests. Kevlar gives our LF transducer the strength to handle the extremely high energy levels required
for distortion-free, chest-pounding bass. And since they have such low mass, Kevlar speaker cones also respond much more quickly than those made of paper, important for not only maintaining bass content integrity, but critical for midrange accuracy and definition. Our Kevlar transducers reproduce even the subtlest nuance of the low-frequency realm without muddying the midrange.
Power to the People
It takes quite a bit more than just a “bulletproof” woofer and a high-tech tweeter stuck inside a fancy box to make a studio monitor of this class. It also takes power — and lots
of it! But even more importantly, that power has to be matched to the individual highand low-frequency transducers. While some of our competitors are content to stick whatever
speakers they have on the shelf into haphazardly designed boxes and then strap on a one-size- fits-all amplifier package, we build every single component from the ground up.
We pack 75-Watts of bi-amped technology (including a timeand phase-corrected active crossover) into every B1030A, ensuring that you have the enormous power reserves you’ll need to drive them really hard.

Designed to Work in Your
Environment
The ideal environment for listening is a room that is “flat,” neither too reflective (echoes) nor too absorptive (where the sound is mu ed). But since
all rooms are not the same acoustically, all TRUTH monitors come equipped to function in a wide variety of situations. Switches are provided to adapt the monitor’s lowand high-frequency
