Stereo Monitoring System

Welcome to Blue Sky

World-renowned for their accurate, full-range sound, Blue Sky speaker monitoring systems are used in critical listening applications by audio professionals in a wide variety of industry sectors. Emmy Award-winning sound editor Eric Lalicata, Grammy Award-winning engineer/remixer Roger Sanchez and legendary Talking Heads keyboard/guitarist Jerry Harrison all rely on Blue Sky speakers to check the accuracy of their work before it goes public. And it’s the same story at film sound facility Skywalker Sound and broadcaster ESPN, where Blue Sky speakers once again provide an important link in the production chain.

Blue Sky’s fresh approach to loudspeaker monitor design delivers the highest possible ratio of performance to cost, in turn providing the highest value to our customers.

Welcome to EXO

Your new EXO system is more than a set of external speakers for your computer. It’s a complete desktop audio reference monitoring system from Blue Sky – the people that make the monitors used in professional recording and production studios worldwide.

Your EXO system consists of a subwoofer (which also contains the amplifiers and bass management circuitry), Left and Right satellite speakers, and a remote control.

In this box, you will find:

1 x EXO subwoofer 2 x EXO satellite speakers

1 x EXO remote control Making the subwoofer an integral part of the monitor system design enables the satellite speakers to be placed for the best imaging, and the sub to be positioned for the best bass response. Relieving the satellite speakers of the requirement to reproduce the low frequencies means that uncompromised, sealed-box designs can combine with sophisticated bass management to provide a seamless transition between sats and sub.

It all adds up to accurate, full range sound.
