Welcome
Over a decade has passed since the introduction of Amphion's studio monitor line.
Pushing the acoustic design and keeping the products electrically simple created
an intuitive and effective tool, which has been embraced by the world's top sound
engineers. Going against the norm with the passive design was naturally bold and
risky, but we managed to get our ideas through. Amphion's design focus is always
result - not technology - oriented. We have never opposed the basic principle of
active speakers. We simply felt we could achieve better resolution and naturalness
by applying passive design at the time.
Active approach has certain benefits ie. matching the amps to drivers, overload/
overdrive protection and limiters, and the option of making really steep filters and
cut-off points. However, many active designs lose resolution due to their highly
complex signal paths. As we strongly believe in elegant and refined signal paths,
we are not against the use of DSP. But we feel strongly that unnecessary DSP and
AD/DA stages should always live outside of the speaker.
