Essential Information About the Shape 50 Monitoring Speaker
- Compact active monitor with a 5-inch driver, extended response from 50 Hz to 35 kHz delivering surprising bass for its size.
- Optimized for the near field from 80 cm and integration in rooms under 12 m².
- 85 W Class AB amplification (60 W + 25 W) offering dynamics and precision, with a max SPL of 106 dB at 1 m.
- Comprehensive acoustic adjustments (high-pass filter, bass, midrange, treble) and XLR/RCA connectivity for smooth studio integration.
At the Heart of the Shape Range, French-Made Versatility
Entirely made in France, the
Shape 50 strikes the ideal balance between compactness and monitoring performance. Inheriting the "5 innovations" of the Shape series, it combines an inverted dome tweeter with an M-profile, a linen sandwich membrane, and a dual passive radiator to deliver a wide stereo image, great neutrality in the low-midrange, and outstanding definition in the high frequencies.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
Designed for project studios and home studios, the Shape 50 targets producers, sound engineers, content creators, and composers seeking precise nearfield listening at close distances. Its carefully designed port allows placement
close to a wall, while the mounting thread facilitates wall or ceiling installations.
Technologies and Key Features in Use
The
aluminum/magnesium inverted dome tweeter with M-profile offers very high definition and a stable stereo image, even off-axis. The 5-inch driver with a
linen membrane ensures excellent bass articulation and great midrange neutrality, supported by a
16.5 cm dual passive radiator that extends the response without port noise. The
85 W Class AB amplification provides clear transients and comfortable listening, complemented by onboard equalizations to adapt the speaker to the acoustics of small rooms.
