EVE Audio SC203 Compact Active Master Slave System Speaker Pair

The compact EVE Audio SC203 Active Master-Slave Systemprovides detailed sound reproduction for small workspaces. When a smallfootprint but a big sound is what you're looking for, the SC203 becomes one ofthose few examples where small also means powerful. It is the perfect solutionfor professional desktops with a limited amount of physical space, fordiscerning home and gaming users, and for mobile studios during travel. Tofurther extend its flexibility, each speaker is provided with the FlexiPad, a rubberizedpad that allows you to decouple the speaker from its base and angle itprecisely at 0, 7, 5, or 15 degrees. Accessories include EVE’s SC203 MountingAdapter, which enables you to mount your speaker directly on any microphone orspeaker stand that features a 3/8-inch thread. Combining it with EVE’s threadedwall mount adapter it is possible to place your speaker directly on a wall. Byplacing the FlexiPad between the speaker and the mounting adapter you arefurther decoupling unwanted resonances, and can even better arrange orientationfor upright positioning. The SMART-knob helps to simply set and save filtersand volume. The bass reflex design helps for precise bass reproduction withoutbackground noise. With parameter lock, your settings are saved, even withoutpower. With the safe fade-in, get a slow volume increase when switching on toprotect ears and equipment. The speaker is available as a pair.Tech TalkWhen using woofers in small desktop speakers, some special considerations haveto be taken into account. To meet the demands of precise reproduction in thelow-frequency region, EVE developed a 3-inch woofer coupled with a 1-inch voicecoil capable of handling a longer linear excursion. With a 16 mm-height voicecoil, a linear, back-and-forth, swing of around 5mm is easily achieved.However, this requires an appropriate multilayer paper membrane material thatis capable of withstanding such rigorous use while maintaining consistency.After numerous careful tests, the coated paper turned out to be the very bestsolution to meet this demand for low resonance, stability, and transmissionlinearity. From then on, the entire construction design met all therequirements that such small woofers usually entail, including having a chassisbasket permeable to air to minimize distortions. The large driver magnet worksas a powerful ‘engine’ to keep the woofer stable, even in border areas. Apassive radiator, which you could simply think of as a passive speaker thatmoves through the force of air, located at the backside of the SC203,reinforces the reproduction of low frequencies and allows the speaker responseto go down as low as an impressive 62Hz (minus 3dB) with very low distortion.Each SC203 setup is configured as a 2-way master-slave system and features fourpower amplifiers. Each woofer and tweeter gets its own dedicated 30W PWMamplifier with a separate filter section for precise control. For optimalconnectivity, the SC203 houses three inputs - analog RCA, digital optical, andUSB, which will allow you to conveniently connect a wide range of sources. Furthermore,a volume-controlled subwoofer output lets you connect an additional subwoofer(TS107 und TS108) to the master speaker and create a powerful 2.1 system. A DIPswitch located at the speaker's back panel allows you to select the SC203s towork as ‘satellites’ from 80Hz and upwards, or as a full-range unit.
