Perfect for multi-channel

As a centre-channel companion to the 1238A, the three-way 1238AC is perfect for multi-channel applications that require extremely uncoloured and precise on and off axis response, even at high SPLs and longer listening distances. With a choice of horizontal or vertical orientations, the controlled directivity of the 1238AC results in a wide, very stable sweet spot – so users can move freely around the console and still make accurate, reliable and informed mix decisions.

Configure, calibrate and control

As part of the growing Smart Active Monitoring family, the 1238AC integrates closely with our GLM software via which it can be configured and calibrated for your listening environment, compensating for detrimental room influences to create a truly optimised monitoring solution. Since producing multi-channel content that translates well to other rooms and systems relies on a good room and an extremely well-aligned monitoring system, the 1238AC is the natural choice for discerning professionals in high-end music production, post production and broadcast.
