Thank you for purchasing the MPower series of powered studio monitors:
MPower 6 and/or MPower 8.

When it comes to studio monitors, one would want sound clarity, accurate
audio reproduction, transparent performance with low distortion and
exceptional imaging. Each component of the MPower studio monitors was
meticulously chosen to deliver those desired characteristics.

The built-in amplifier of the MPower monitor accepts unbalanced (RCA)
and balanced (1/4” TRS and XLR) inputs. It also features High Frequency
adjustment control for listening personalization.

The woofer installed in the MPower monitor uses Aramid glass fiber cone
which is stiff and has low mass, allowing the woofer to have low harmonic
distortion. The ultra efficient ribbon tweeter has flatter impedance and
better response. The combination of these two components ensure
dynamic, melodious balance, transparency and neutral audio reproduction.
