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 high- and
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 time- and 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 muffled). 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 low- and high-frequency

characteristics for optimal performance specific
to your listening environment.
Placement is also critical. Ideally, all
loudspeakers should be placed away from walls
to ensure proper bass response. But fear not,
B1030A monitors feature Room Compensation
switches so you can place them against walls,
or even in corners. Walls tend to enhance low-
frequency content, and corners exaggerate
bass even more, but your TRUTH monitor can
be custom-tailored to provide honest bass
response for your situation, with the simple flick
of a switch or two.

Non-fatiguing, Wide “Sweet Spot”
While some of our competitors’
studio monitors have a highly focused
“sweet spot” (the optimal listening
position for a pair of loudspeakers),
our wave-guide is designed to create
a much more generous, broader
listening zone. That means you won’t
wear a hole in the carpet in that one
spot where everything sounds great.
You are free to move around inside
the stereo image to find the ideal
spot in the mix for subtle instrument
or effects placement opportunities.
You also won’t suffer the ravages
of “monitor-fatigue-syndrome,” an
ailment that comes from listening to
harsh high-mids and treble content
for hours on end — a pretty important
consideration for those all-night mix-
down sessions that can really test your
nerves.
What’s Up with the RCA Connectors?
Yes, it is a bit unconventional
to put RCA sockets on a studio
monitor — but why not? Now you
can connect B1030A loudspeakers
to your computer, mp3 player or
television receiver for amazing sonic
performance. For a truly versatile
setup, use one of our USB audio
interfaces (the UCA222, for example)
to connect to/from your computer.
This convenient setup allows you to
monitor your recording projects, and
mix and master them, directly from
your computer. And you can place
these speakers right next to your video
monitor, thanks to B1030A’s internal
magnetic shielding.

Hearing is Believing
We could bore you to tears with all
the technical jargon (if you really like
that stuff, there’s a special treat at the
end), but hearing the TRUTH will make
you a believer. From the“bulletproof”
bass of its Kevlar woofer to the silky
top-end of its HF dome tweeter, we
think you’ll agree that nothing in
this class outperforms the B1030A.
Compare them to the competition and
