The Blue Sky 2.1 System is the first stereo monitor to deliver full range sound without compromises. It is a true system in every sense. It includes two powered THX pm3 Approved 2-way satellite speakers and a THX pm3 Approved powered subwoofer with a 12" driver in a sealed cabinet. 2.1 Bass Management circuitry directs all the frequencies where they belong. It?s a true integrated three-way system. Every component is optimized for the system. The 2.1 system delivers coherent, seamless audio that is more accurate and more full range than even the most expensive alternatives. With Blue Sky Systems, you get accurate, full range audio in a real room?your room. And the transition between subwoofer and satellite is totally seamless. It reproduces smooth, even bass response throughout the monitoring area.
