The Rockville APM8 active studio monitor comes in pairs and each monitor is bi-amped. What this means is that there is a separate amp for the highs and a separate amp for the lows! Each speaker has 250 watts peak output power and 125 watts RMS giving you a total of 500 watts peak and 250 watts RMS per pair. We spent a lot of time developing the most premium studio monitors we ever built! I am very pleased and excited to talk to you guys about what we did to make these speakers sound as good as they do. If you are an audiophile you will find what we did to be quite amazing. Keep in mind, the only reason our price point is not 300 % higher is because you are buying manufacturer direct. We are one of the leading speaker manufacturers in the USA, and we have a state of the art manufacturing process. There is a lot to talk about so I will break it down into sections. description of the enclosure: We chose a wooden enclosure as opposed to a plastic enclosure. Your studio is made of wood for a reason. The sound characteristics of high quality wood are better than plastic. We only use the highest quality mdi wood. We do not bother with cheap particle board material when we want to make the best speakers. The thickness is 0. 5 around and the front board is a full 1 thick to give you the best sound quality possible. The enclosure is built with the perfect amount of air space to maximize sound quality for a studio. every studio or computer room should look beautiful. We believe speakers should enhance the look of a room. We make these speakers in 3 beautiful finishes. Painted Black, painted white, and wood finish. We use &liquor; baking paint made for wood surfaces. It is long lasting and the best paint for speakers! We went with a beautiful finish that is mostly matte with a slight shine to it. Our designers spent countless hours on the color to make sure it is not only beautiful but elegant as well to improve The appearance of your studio or room.
