Eve Audio SC207 - All Black

The EVE Audio SC207 is the 6.5" studio monitor of EVE's first line, and one of their most popular models for good reason. The 6.5 "has always been something of a sweet spot for studio monitors, and the SC207 does take the crown within its price range. With an impressive 44Hz low-end extension and up to a whopping 21kHz top-end, the SC207 is a real powerhouse.

With a whopping 150W output and 106dB SPL, you'll have more than enough headroom for all your projects.

With the SC207, you get extended bass frequency response (up to 44 Hz), thanks to our 6.5" honeycomb-structured SilverCone woofer and powered by an advanced copper-capped magnet system with a 1.5" voice coil. The result is very tight and dynamic bass, along with the usual greater linear excursion.

A PWM amplifier with protection limitation capable of delivering a short-lived output power of 100 W guarantees that the SC207 never runs out of power. And with a maximum output level of 106 dB (SPL @ 1m), you can rest assured that there is enough power to critically and accurately judge your mixes.

The SC207 is also the first EVE model monitor to use our patented AMT (Air Motion Transformer) RS2. That means it can deliver higher output levels thanks to a larger magnet system inside.

As with any other EVE Audio speaker, you get both balanced XLR inputs and unbalanced RCA inputs for greater convenience.

DSP and SMART button

All EVE Audio monitors feature high-resolution DSP electronics. A high-quality analog-to-digital converter from BurrBrown (24bit/192kHz) converts the analog input signal delivered via RCA or XLR. The DSP provides latency-free filtering and protects the tweeter and woofers from overload over the entire frequency range. When the monitor is turned on, the volume increases slowly to allow enough time to lower the source volume if the input signal is too loud.

Adjustments to the acoustic environment can be made via the front rotary/pushbutton, the SMART knob with rotating LED ring. With this knob the system volume can be equalized and bass, midrange and treble filters can be adjusted (bass, midrange and treble filters). All settings are displayed on the LED ring, giving you instant information about the selected values. The brightness of the LED ring can be adjusted for dark studios or video applications.

High-quality Class-D amplifiers complete the system and provide enough power to meet the demands of modern music production. Selected volume and/or filter settings can be independently locked with DIP switches on the back of the amplifier to prevent unauthorized or unintended adjustments.

The Air Motion Transformer

The AMT tweeter is EVE's own patented technology that follows the rule of no off-the-shelf components to achieve superior results. The accuracy and detail of the high frequency range of EVE monitors, combined with the overall tightness of the bass and midrange, make the SC207 an excellent speaker that can easily be used on the go (thanks to its smaller size) or as a second pair of speakers alongside your main setup.

Understanding the Air Motion Transformer

The Air Motion Transformer (AMT) is a unique driver technology that sets it apart from other audio drivers. It uses a lightweight, hand-folded diaphragm that is thinly coated with aluminum. The flow of the music signal passes through these conductive wires.

The diaphragm is placed in a powerful magnetic field that causes the folds to move as a result of Lorentz force. Due to the opposite direction of the current, the walls of each individual fold work against each other. The air between the folds is forced in and out at a ratio of 1:4, compared to the 1:1 ratio of an ordinary dome tweeter.

This results in higher resolution and dynamics in the tweeter section, along with very low distortion levels, enabling superior sound quality with enhanced detail and clarity.

The Smart Knob

The smart knob on the front panel of the monitor controls both the volume and the internal DSP. Turn the knob to adjust the volume. Press the knob and you get control over high and mid frequencies, a desk setting that mutes those around 200 Hz and boosts those around 90 Hz to compensate for desk reflections and a low-shelf to boost or eliminate. LEDs can also be turned off here if you don't like it.
