PreSonus Sceptre S8 CoActual 2-Way Studio Monitor

The Sceptre® S8 Two-Way Monitor

The Sceptre® S8 is a remarkable two-way monitor that combines an 8-inch low/mid-frequency driver with a 1-inch horn-loaded high-frequency transducer. These components are integrated into a single coaxial unit with aligned voice coils.
