2 Channel 2 Way Near-Field Monitor
Advanced Monitoring for the 21st Century
The
OWL System is a unique studio monitor design from EMES using
the patented Embracing Sound Experience System™. The ESE
(Embracing Sound Experience) System™ allows the reproduction
of a sound image from a single enclosure. This eliminates artifacts
such as acoustic crosstalk, extensive comb filtering, etc.,
introduced by any left/right mono-speaker configuration.
The ESE System™ is based on the discovery that the human
sense of hearing can recreate the acoustic image, which up to
now, manufacturers have attempted to reproduce using two separately
positioned speakers. Suddenly, stereo is no longer just a question
of left and right, but also of foreground and background. We
all know that the recorded sound already contains the directional
information that the brain needs. The removal of time and phase
faults, by placing the speakers together, makes listening more
restful and allows the listener to hear a high resolution image
from any point in the room.
The Owl System is compatible with Stereo, Mono, Dolby ProLogic,
Dolby Digital, DTS, Roland RSS and Q-Sound formats. An OWL System
also can easily replace a complete (L/C/R) front channelconfiguration
in a surround sound set up.
