INSIDE THE SRP
-
ACOUSTIC WAVEGUIDE: Our quest into achieving off-axis linearity led us to design a unique waveguide for each SRP. The result is evident in the clear, detailed high frequency response over a wide sweet spot
-
UNIQUE ALUMINUM PRESSURE DIE CAST MOULDED ENCLOSURE: This monolithic, rigid casing eliminates colouration caused due to vibrations. The non-parallel edges minimize standing wave build-up. This results in a smooth and extended low frequency response and detailed midrange.
The cabinets are powder coated to ensure a durable yet aesthetically pleasing finish. Three colour options available are grey, white and black -
NEODYMIUM MAGNET HF TRANSDUCER: This specially designed tweeter has a lightweight neodymium magnet to minimize stray magnetic forces and to improve linearity. A unique rear cavity design yields a low resonance frequency that allows for a low crossover frequency and thereby improves directivity
-
KEVLAR CONE LF: The stiff woven fibre of the Kevlar cone minimizes cone breakup. Combined with a powerful motor system, this results in high grade performance both in terms of linearity and dynamics
-
DSP ENABLED BI-AMPLIFIER: The SRP models use a discrete amplifier for each transducer. These hefty class A/B Sonodyne amplifiers have oodles of power and headroom and provide a clean, undistorted signal. The DSP balance in SRP 500, 600, 800 ensures linearity both in frequency and time domains resulting in a detailed, natural sound. It also allows for calibrated gain and EQ controls
-
TOROIDAL TRANSFORMERS are used for quick, efficient operation and to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and improved signal to noise ratio
-
RECESSED INLET FOR CABLES ensures hassle-free and clutter-free installation
-
WALL MOUNTS: These sturdy wall mount brackets allow for smooth motion and positioning in both horizontal and vertical planes
The SRP translates very well at low and high volume
- EDDIE KRAMER, Grammy Award winner The Beatles, David Bowie, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Kiss, Led Zeppelin“ No mix is finished until I check it on a Son dyne
- TOM LORD ALGE, Grammy Award winner U2, The Rolling Stones, Peter Gabriel, Dave Matthews Band, Avril Lavigne They are powerful, well-balanced and honest to the ears, what more could one want!
- RECORDING MAGAZINE, USA These Sonodyne speakers sound amazing
- LESLIE BRATHWAITE, Grammy nominated mix engineer Beyonce, Jay Z, Madonna, T.I, Pharrell Williams, Akon For a little speaker it has an amazingly good bass response
- JOSH BLAIR, Producer/ Engineer Duran Duran, Bruno Mars, Beyonce You have to find your Sonodyne product for your taste, but you will never find a better product for the price.
- GEORGE NECOLA, Gearspace I was very impressed
- BOB POWER, Grammy Award winner Erykah Badu, A Tribe Called Quest, Citizen Cope, De La Soul, India Arie Sonodyne conveys sound in it’s purest form
- USTAD ZAKIR HUSSAIN, Indian tabla virtuoso As the crown jewel of the Indian hi-fi manufacturing industry, Sonodyne has been on top of its game for a while now.

The detailed tops end of the SM 100s
translate extremely well when I get to the mix theatre
~ Nakul Kamte,
Bollywood’s Top Sync Sound Engineer, National Award winner
The representation of the stereo field is extremely accurate even
in small rooms.
I use them to produce, mix and record for Kool Saves, Pimm, Moe Mitchell and
other German-speaking artists from the genres Hip Hop, Pop and R&B.
~ Jannic Chopty
Getting the mid range well balanced is a
big part of mastering. This is is where the Sonodyne’s shine. They also have
great high frequency response and have a surprising amount of low end for such
small speakers … Can’t live without them at this point.
~ Pablo Infinity
For the first time I am hearing
resonant tones from my keyboard and the piano tones sound so life like. When I
listen to music on these I can hear every single instrument as if it was being
played right in front of my ears. I cannot recommend these studio monitors
enough!
~ Pradyumna (Paddy) Manot
It’s unbelievable how such small monitors can show the
entire music spectrum in such natural way, not just the middle frequencies
without reference to the rest of the frequency response…
~ Marek Romanowski
No more second guessing any of my decisions because if it sounds good through
my SRP400’s, it will sound good everywhere else. Highly recommend these
expertly crafted speakers to anyone looking to save hours getting the mix
right he FIRST time!
~ Mateen Ansari The Sonodynes don’t lie. They give you a true
representation of your source, which in turn helps you get the best results on
your mixes.
