SMART-knob

EVE Audio monitors feature high-resolution DSP electronics for precise room adaptation. Users can control filters, volume, and adjustments directly from the monitor using the rotary SMART-knob. The DSP is supported by a high-quality A/D converter, ensuring signal integrity. Settings are easily lockable to prevent accidental changes, offering a user-friendly and reliable design.

Driver technology

Our studio monitors use Air Motion Transformers to reproduce high frequencies with accuracy and low distortion. The hand-folded diaphragm produces sound waves 4x more efficiently than traditional tweeters. To complete our systems we developed glass-fiber coated SilverCone woofers providing a tight, dynamic bass with minimal distortion.

Passive radiator

EVE Audio uses a passive radiator design in their subwoofers, replacing traditional bass reflex tubes. This eliminates noise from air turbulence and pipe resonances while reducing subsonic excursions and intermodulation distortion. The design allows for lower tuning frequencies in compact cabinets, providing high-quality sound in smaller monitors.

Cabinet construction

EVE Audio prioritizes efficient, clean design by eliminating unnecessary elements like front-facing bass ports. Instead, we use a tuned, larger rear rectangular port without hard edges, enhancing low-frequency efficiency and reducing distortion at high volumes. This design delivers punchy bass without the drawbacks of port compression, ensuring monitors that sound as good as they look.

Remote controlled

Take full control of your EVE Audio subwoofer with our intuitive remote control. Adjust the volume, switch between different settings and fine-tune your bass levels with ease—all from the comfort of your listening position. Experience seamless integration and enhanced precision, ensuring your audio setup is always optimized to your preferences.

The SC204

The SC204 are the smallest speakers in our studio monitors line. If you are working at home, or in a music or post-production studio, it serves as a second pair of ears.

This nearfield monitor also have the convenience of threaded screw inserts on the bottom and the back. That way, you can mount your SC204 on a regular microphone or speaker stand, or use the back plate for different wall mounting options.

More than just a speaker

Suprisingly powerful

The SC204 uses a 4" SilverCone woofer with honeycomb structured diaphragm, driven by a sophisticated low distortion copper cap magnet system with a 1" voice coil responsible for creating a greater linear excursion. This produces a bigger dynamic than one would assume in a monitor of such small proportions. As a result, in addition to the unsurpassed audio transparency of our proprietary AMT tweeter and PWM amplifier combination, this SC204 will surprise you with a very powerful, tight and precise low end.

The Air Motion Transformer

Our AMT tweeter is our own proprietary technology that follows the rule of no off-the-shelf components in order to achieve superior results. The preciseness and detail of the high frequency range of EVE monitors, coupled with the general tightness of the bass and mid-range, make the SC204 a superb speaker that is easily used on the road (due to its reduced size) or as a second pair of speakers for your main setup.

The Air Motion Transformer

Our tweeters base on the ribbon tweeter technology. We reinvented our own version of the AMT which our speakers are well known for.  

Understanding the Air Motion Transformer

The Air Motion Transformer (AMT) is a unique driver technology, distinct from other audio drivers. It utilizes a lightweight, hand-folded diaphragm that is thinly coated with aluminum. The current of the music signal flows through these conductive strands.

The diaphragm is placed in a powerful magnetic field leading to movement in the folds caused by the Lorentz force. Due to the opposing direction of the current the walls of each single fold work against each other. The air between the folds is squeezed in and out at a ratio of 1:4, compared to the 1:1 ratio of a regular dome tweeter.

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

Powering On/Off: Standby Mode

Press and hold the control three seconds in order to put the monitor in Standby mode. The volume will decrease gradually while the LED ring lights up once around the Volume control. Afterwards, the LED on the right end will remain dimly lit and the power consumption is reduced to 1 watt.

Volume

The volume can be adjusted by turning the knob. Depending on the LED mode selected, the volume will be displayed as a dim/ bright circle or as a dim/bright point.

Mute

To put the monitor in Mute Mode, turn the volume control counter clockwise until you reach the minimum level. When the LED on the left end lights up dimly the Mute Mode is activated.

Settings

Press the SMART-knob once to enter the Settings menu. Here you can set different filters as well as the LED ring’s behavior. The LED of the currently active function blinks. Click the different filters above to find out more about them!

High Filter

The High-Shelf Filter helps you adjust frequencies above 3kHz in 0.5dB increments. You may need it in the following situations:

  • Distance from Speakers: High frequencies weaken as you move further from the speakers. If you sit far from the speakers, boost the high frequencies. If you're close, like in a desktop setup (about 1 meter or 3 feet away), you might need to reduce the high frequencies.

  • Room Acoustics: In a room with few reflective surfaces ("dead room"), boosting high frequencies can create a more balanced sound. Conversely, in a room with many reflective surfaces, reducing the high frequencies is advisable.

Adjust the High Filter accordingly and achieve the best sound quality based on your listening position.

Mid Filter

The Mid Filter is a bell filter centered at 1kHz. It allows you to boost or cut the midrange by up to +/-3dB in 0.5dB increments. Here's what you should consider:

  • Frequency Balance: The midrange is crucial for balancing lower and higher mid frequencies. Use the Mid Filter to fine-tune the balance between the fundamental and harmonic frequencies in your music.

  • Room Acoustics: The acoustics of your room can affect how midrange frequencies are perceived. Sound energy from the monitors may reflect off surfaces like walls, floors, and ceilings, altering the sound. Adjust the Mid Filter to compensate for these reflections and achieve a balanced sound.

The Mid filter is available on SC2070, SC3070, SC4070, SC3010 and SC3012.

Desk Filter

The desk filter allows you to boost or cut you low-mid frequencies in 0.5dB increments:

  • Narrow-Band EQ: Depending on the model the filter is centered between 160 and 200Hz. When turned down, it reduces the low-mid boost often caused by reflections from mixers and similar surfaces. Decrease the filter gain to lessen this effect.

  • EQ at 80Hz: When turned up, it enhances the lower frequencies, giving more punch to the sound.

Low Filter

The Low-Shelf Filter allows you to boost or attenuate frequencies below 300Hz in 0.5dB steps. Here's when to use it:

  • Attenuating Low Frequencies: If your room's acoustics cause a boost in low frequencies (due to room modes or speakers being close to walls), you can reduce them with the Low-Shelf Filter.

  • Boosting Low Frequencies: If the low frequencies are too weak, you can enhance them to achieve a balanced frequency response.

Adjust the Low-Shelf Filter accordingly to address any issues in the low frequency range caused by your room's acoustics.

A dB/Hz graph showing the impact of the Low Filter
LED

The LED Mode determines how the LED ring displays the volume level. There are four available modes:

  • Bright Ring: All LEDs up to the selected volume level light up brightly. As the signal gets louder, he brightly lit ring extends.

  • Bright Point: Only the LED corresponding to the selected volume level lights up brightly. As the signal gets louder, the brightly lit point moves further up.

  • Dim Ring: All LEDs up to the selected volume level light up dimly. As the signal gets louder, the dimly lit ring extends. The LEDs light up brightly momentarily when you adjust the volume.

  • Dim Point: Only the LED corresponding to the selected volume level lights up dimly. As the signal gets louder, the dimly lit point moves further up.

In all modes, the LEDs indicate volume levels, adjusting in four steps. Intermediate steps are shown by the brightness level between two adjacent LEDs.
