PRODUCT
INFORMATIONS
AYRA PRO is a range of two-way reference studio monitors that is designed for nearfield
professional applications but is equally suited to your home recording studio. AYRA PRO
series is composed of three models: AYRA PRO5, AYRA PRO6 and AYRA PRO8 featuring a
high quality 1” soft dome tweeter and 5”, 6” and 8” composite woofer.
The AYRA PRO series highlights a dedicated internal DSP that optimizes frequency response
and dynamics. Featuring the exclusive RCF FiRPHASE processing, the AYRA PRO is the first
Studio Monitor in its class to boast an astonishing 0° phase response. In simple terms,
FiRPHASE aligns all frequencies in the entire audio spectrum to be emitted at exactly the
same time. This makes the sound output more pronounced and transients more vivid and
detailed, while at the same time improving the dynamics and the natural timbre of the
sounds.
The AYRA PRO Series is optimized to deliver the best sound for a variety of applications.
Whether you are working with a nearfield mix in your studio or broadcast facility— or
simply need some great speakers for your home entertainment system — you will need
a clear and loud non-tiring sound. Thanks to the frontal bass reflex port, the AYRA PRO
directs a larger portion of the energy forward, away from rear walls.
