Honesty

When it comes to your studio recordings, you want honesty. In fact, considering how important your art is, you should demand it! That’s why we designed the new B3030A and B3031A Reference Monitors to speak nothing but the TRUTH. Oh, they still sound great hooked up to your stereo or your video surround system, but they were really built with the studio in mind — where every note you play or sing is “under the microscope.”

Built on a Legacy

Our TRUTH B2030A and B2031A monitors have been so wildly successful that we’ve sold thousands upon thousands of them

to some of the most critical ears on the planet. So, from the moment we started this project, we knew these new speakers would have to be something really special, and indeed they are!

Years of R’n’D

For the past two years our Resead Development team has been on a mission to create the “perfect” studio monitor. Since the TRUTH B2031A had already become the industry standard,

our acoustic engineers decided to start there and see just how far they could push the envelope. They tried a variety of transducers and enclosure designs, along with existing and emerging technologies. When all the dust settled, they chose to deploy an ultra-high resolution, 2" velocity ribbon transducer and a long-throw, Kevlar-coned woofer in a deformation-resistant, die-cast aluminum chassis.

Why Kevlar?

We’re glad you asked. Kevlar has an incredible strength-to-weight ratio — that’s one reason it’s used in bulletproof vests. Kevlar gives our LF transducer the strength to handle the extremely high energy levels required for distortion-free, chest-pounding bass. And since they have such low mass, Kevlar speaker cones also respond much more quickly than those made of paper, important for not only maintaining bass content integrity, but critical for midrange accuracy and definition. Our Kevlar transducers reproduce even the subtlest nuance

of the low-frequency realm without muddying the midrange.
