A Breakthrough In Full-Bandwidth, Phase-Accurate Monitoring
LINEAR ACOUSTICAL OUTPUT
When reproducing complex sounds, pattern relationships matter just as much as amplitude and frequency. Perfectly linear acoustical output requires phase re-alignment of the input signal. But thanks to the laws of physics, even the most accurate acoustic systems have introduced phase anomalies—until now.
FROM CONCEPT TO REALITY
Powerful, full-bandwidth monitoring with zero phase shift was once just a theoretical notion. But after six years of extensive research, we’re setting a new benchmark for accuracy in studio monitors: a system that marries acoustic precision and digital modeling to offer completely flat amplitude and phase response across the entire audible frequency spectrum. No tradeoffs, no compromises—just the sound you recorded, exactly as you recorded it.
A NEW STANDARD OF ACCURACY
Unveil a new level of nuance in your mix: The Bluehorn System perfectly preserves phase relationships, faithfully reproducing every timbral detail and three-dimensional ambiance. Response is neutral and transparent, at any output level.
FREQUENCY AND PHASE
Measurement traces reveal Bluehorn System’s flat frequency response and unprecedented phase linearity across the audible bandwidth
Advanced Digital Modeling, Precise Acoustic Design
RESTORING PHASE THROUGH DSP
Powerful digital processing is at the heart of The Bluehorn System: Proprietary phase-correcting algorithms model system behavior and restore original relationships, while introducing minimal latency.
BUILDING ON PROVEN COMPONENTS
Configured as a three-way system, The Bluehorn System incorporates the latest driver, processing, and amplifier technologies from Meyer Sound’s Cinema Series and LEO Family of line array loudspeakers and Galileo GALAXY processors.
ACOUSTICALLY OPTIMIZED
The Bluehorn System is designed with acoustic transparency in mind: Advanced driver mechanics and alignment technology, along with precision tuning, minimize phase anomalies that can color your sound. It all adds up to unprecedented accuracy and detail, like you’ve never heard before.
