Nowadays, most recording studios are equipped with powerful 2 or 3 way systems that allow for monitoring your mixes at high listening levels. However - in the age of high definition audio, it is also important to check your mixes on a compact audio system without the enhanced low end of a multi-way system. In fact it might be more useful to know how your mix will sound via the loudspeaker of a TV or clock radio, the car hifi or via the docking station of an iPod. It is definitely important to make mixing judgments based partially on listening to reference monitors that will not impart tonal anomalies caused by crossovers or inferior full range drivers. Particular attention is always paid to the critical mid-range with the fundamentals of the vocals, guitars and keyboard parts. This is where having a full-range monitor without a crossover is truly revealing. That is why our R&D department has spent more than twelve months of intense research with comparative listening and tweaking on the voicing of the Nowsonic RadioCheck. The result is a very smooth sounding and technically updated full-range version of the 5C Sound Cubes mixing engineers were so fond of in the 1980s and 1990s. Listening tests have shown that the Nowsonic RadioCheck has a smoother midrange as well as a more accurate and transparent top end response with extended bass while maintaining the basic characteristics of those legendary speakers. The cabinet enclosure is constructed with non-layered and high-tensile MDF panels and therefore has a natural low-resonance characteristic. All cabinet edges are radiused. The speaker has a very elegant design with a high gloss finish from Polyurethane. On the bottom of the enclosure, a 7mm thick neoprene pad has been embedded as a skid-resistant acoustic isolator. For flexible mounting of RadioCheck the bottom plate also features an industry standard 5/8"-27 mic stand mount.
