Unity Audio Launches Boulder MKII 3-Way Active Monitors
Known the world over for their silky smooth ribbon tweeters, Unity Audio has released MK II of their original Boulder monitors.
The integrity of the originals remain, as the majority of the components from the MK I are still implemented into the MK II. The big difference here is the new addition of the 8” SEAS woofers. Unity Audio assures that these new woofers will have us not only hearing the low end in perfect clarity, but feeling it as well.
The Boulder MKII features new woofers and a larger body to accommodate them.
The Unity Audio Boulder MKII monitors will be shipping at the end of June for $8,350 MSRP per pair. Here are more details from Unity Audio:
Unity Audio will be shipping the new Unity Audio Boulder MK II at the end of June. The active 3 way active monitor will retain all the great attributes of the original MK I, for example the same Baltic Birch sealed plywood cabinet, albeit larger to accommodate the two new 8″ SEAS woofers, the original ELAC coaxial 5″ midrange with 50kHz folded ribbon tweeter, and the same custom E.A.R Class A/B amplifiers and crossover.
The results of the 4x 8″ woofers over the previous 4x 6.5″ woofers is an increase of 4dB in SPL figures and even more low frequency extension with the -3Db point in the low 30Hz region and -3dB at 36kHz.
The Boulder MkII has the same fast tight transients with the bass being reproduced perfectly as before but now delivered with detailed sub frequencies too as the 8” woofers move a lot more air and the user can feel the bass now as well as hear it! The new SEAS 8” woofers also produce even more clarity and detail in the lower mids, up to the crossover point for the 5” mid driver. The folded ribbon tweeter is now measuring -3dB at 36kHz, with a really flat and smooth all the way from the mids crossover point.
