Image 1 brings true 3-way monitoring into compact critical rooms. Image 2 adds output, scale, and deeper low-frequency authority for larger rooms. 212S extends either system when full-range low-end confidence becomes essential.
Compact 3-way reference monitor
Image 1
For compact control rooms, producer rooms, editing suites, and immersive systems where space is limited but mix accuracy is not negotiable.
- Dual 6.5-inch woofers, 4-inch midrange, and AMT tweeter
- 475 watts of amplification per monitor
- SoundID Reference profile storage and onboard DSP
- Best fit for compact nearfield and scalable immersive rooms
Larger-format 3-way reference monitor
Image 2
For larger control rooms, longer listening distances, mastering workflows, and engineers who need more output and low-frequency authority from the main pair.
- Dual 8-inch woofers, 5-inch midrange, and AMT tweeter
- 675 watts of amplification per monitor
- SoundID Reference profile storage and integrated DSP
- Best fit for larger nearfield, midfield, and immersive rooms
Low-frequency extension for Image Series
212S
For stereo, mastering, Dolby Atmos, and immersive systems that need deeper extension, higher low-frequency headroom, and bass that remains controlled.
- Dual opposed 12-inch active drivers
- Sealed enclosure with 1000 watts RMS
- Designed as the foundation for Image Series studio monitors
- Best fit when full-range low-frequency confidence is critical

The same monitoring philosophy, scaled for different rooms.
Both monitors use a true 3-way architecture, dedicated midrange, AMT high-frequency driver, sealed dual-opposed low-frequency design, onboard DSP, and SoundID Reference profile support. The decision is mainly room size, listening distance, output requirement, and low-frequency authority.

Fast decision shortcut
Choose Image 1 when compact placement, shorter listening distance, and scalable multi-speaker deployment matter most. Choose Image 2 when the room, listening distance, or workflow demands more output, deeper low-frequency authority, and a larger monitoring presentation.
Comparing premium monitoring systems?
If you are also considering Genelec, Neumann, Barefoot, ATC, PSI, HEDD, PMC, Amphion, ADAM Audio, Dynaudio, or Focal Trio systems, compare the factors that affect daily mix decisions: room fit, driver architecture, midrange clarity, calibration workflow, low-frequency control, purchase path, and total system cost.
Specific engineering choices for repeatable decisions.
Image Series is built around the parts of monitoring that determine whether a mix survives outside the room: midrange balance, low-frequency readability, transient detail, imaging, and repeatable calibration.
Separates the critical vocal and instrument range from the low-frequency driver workload, helping reveal balance, density, reverb depth, and placement.
Mechanically opposed woofers and sealed cabinets are used to support stable, controlled bass rather than exaggerated port output.
Store up to four SoundID Reference calibration profiles in the monitoring system and switch between repeatable room or workflow setups.
Onboard DSP, analog and digital connectivity, room controls, and CubeMix support create a focused monitoring workflow without extra correction hardware.
Add 212S when low-frequency confidence becomes the limiting factor.
Image 1 and Image 2 are the decision-making monitors. 212S extends the system when stereo, mastering, immersive, or larger-room work requires deeper extension and more low-frequency headroom without loose bass or port overhang.

Why 3-way monitoring matters
A 3-way monitor divides low, mid, and high-frequency work across dedicated drivers instead of forcing one driver to cover too much of the critical range.
The dedicated midrange supports decisions involving vocal level, snare body, guitar density, synth texture, reverb depth, and the arrangement balance that determines whether a mix translates.
DSP, SoundID Reference, and repeatable calibration
Image 1 and Image 2 combine onboard DSP, rear-panel room controls, professional analog and digital connectivity, and SoundID Reference profile support.
Up to four calibration profiles can be stored in the monitoring system, allowing engineers to move between room, position, or workflow setups without rebuilding the correction chain each time.
Controlled low-frequency architecture
Image 1 and Image 2 use sealed enclosures and dual opposed woofers to support controlled low-frequency behavior and reduce cabinet reaction forces.
212S extends the same philosophy with dual opposed 12-inch active drivers in a sealed enclosure, focused on transient readability, extension, and low-frequency translation.
Who the Image Series is built for
Image Series is designed for mix engineers, producers, mastering rooms, post-production, Dolby Atmos music workflows, and immersive systems where monitoring accuracy directly affects the final result.
Image 1 is the compact path, Image 2 is the larger monitoring path, and 212S is the full-range extension path. The right choice depends on room size, listening distance, output requirement, and low-frequency need.
Build the Image Series system that fits your room.
Choose Image 1 for compact 3-way reference monitoring, Image 2 for larger rooms and more scale, or add 212S when full-range low-frequency confidence becomes essential.
