The SM-5 5-Inch 3-Way Powered Studio Monitor is designed for critical listening, mixing, and production environments where accuracy and detail are essential. Featuring a 3-way coincident architecture, it combines a 5-inch woofer, a 4-inch midrange driver, and a coaxial 1-inch metal dome tweeter to function as an acoustic point source, delivering a cohesive soundstage with precise imaging and reduced off-axis inconsistencies commonly found in 2-way designs. User-definable DSP controls allow each speaker to be calibrated to its environment with 8 bands of EQ, along with delay and trim adjustments, and multiple calibration profiles can be stored for different room setups or listening targets. The transducers are engineered for smooth response and low distortion, with a refined woofer design that reduces magnetic flux modulation, a midrange optimized to serve as a waveguide for the tweeter, and a specially designed aluminum dome tweeter that minimizes ultrasonic resonances. With 150W of amplification, less than 1% total harmonic distortion, and a low-frequency response down to 39 Hz (-10 dB), the SM-5 supports full-range monitoring at high output levels, reaching up to 117 dB peak SPL. Part of the Santa Monica series, this monitor is built for professional workflows and immersive audio applications, offering detailed stereo imaging and consistent performance across listening positions. Flexible mounting options with standard 4.25 x 2-inch hole patterns allow integration with compatible speaker mounts, making it suitable for studio installations and multi-speaker setups.

  • 3-Way Coaxial Design for Accurate Imaging: Features a 5" woofer, 4" midrange, and coaxial 1" metal dome tweeter in a coincident design, delivering a cohesive soundstage with detailed stereo imaging and reduced off-axis inconsistencies.
  • Custom DSP Room Calibration Controls: Built-in DSP offers 8-band EQ, delay, and trim controls, allowing you to calibrate each speaker to your environment and save multiple profiles for different room setups or listening needs.
  • Engineered Drivers for Low Distortion: Precision-designed transducers include a refined woofer to reduce magnetic flux modulation, a midrange that doubles as a waveguide, and a tweeter optimized to minimize ultrasonic resonances.
  • High Output with Full-Range Response: Powered by 150W amplification, the monitor delivers up to 117 dB peak SPL with less than 1% THD and low-frequency response down to 39 Hz (-10 dB) for full-range monitoring.
  • Flexible Setup & Mounting Options: Supports various studio configurations with standard mounting compatibility (4.25" x 2" pattern) and is suitable for stereo or immersive setups requiring precise spatial resolution.
