AYRA are active monitors designed for near field listening and include RCFs technology that has made the brand as prominent as they are now.

Here are more details from RCF:
ACCURATE MONITORING
Ayra works perfectly in any listening environments, from large to small production facilities, and for the home recording studio. The Ayra Series gives you accurate monitoring and provides the engineer or producer with the right tool to make the best performance.
In our history we had the opportunity to explore and manufacture live sound products, hi-fi products and also to introduce some notable technological innovations in the studio recording such as the integrated tweeter-midrange system in our 1990 RCF SDC6000 studio monitors. Plus our current offering of Mytho Series monitors with revolutionary ICC voice coil technology for precision reference monitor applications puts us at the forefront of recording studio solutions.
This is why we decided to combine our state of the art active live sound systems experience with our 30 plus years of hi-fi audio heritage to create a studio monitor that represents the connection between these two worlds.
THE SHAPE OF SOUND
The new Ayra Series of active studio monitors is designed for near field applications equally suited to your home recording studio. Ayra Five, Ayra Six and Ayra Eight are the speaker models and the Ayra Ten Sub complements the series. Ayra delivers a clean and powerful sound and is the “Next Step” to add high value in sound and audio design to the recording process, listening and mixing applications. The Ayra Series delivers strong power and produces a sound level that is impressive for all the individual models.
SMOOTH LOOK
The sleek look of the Ayra active studio monitors contrasts the dark front baffle with a white cone woofer; modern design with a twist of the late 70´s. With the reflection free front and the cabinet in lacquer painted medium density, the Ayra monitor is shaped in a quality and very smooth look. With the white woofer you get a studio monitor that comes with its own identity and an awesome combination of classic 70´s look and modern style.
