About the Diamond Studio BT Series

Home studios are not only for hard work – but they can also be for fun! Diamond Studio BT monitors are high quality studio monitors, with the sonic detail required for intricate audio work, but they also have a Bluetooth input which allows these professional monitors to also be used in a home entertainment environment.

Diamond Studio BT series bring together craftsmanship, refined detail and wireless technology.

The low frequency driver cone is made of woven fibreglass. This material is extremely rigid and lightweight compared to alternative paper-based cones. Fibreglass cone material delivers superb low frequency dynamic response and, importantly for studio monitoring, a very fast transient response.

A practical feature is the inclusion of a Bluetooth input. This makes it simple to connect using a mobile device for checking mixes or, just for entertainment. It’s also possible to pair two Diamond Studio BT models together, wirelessly using the TWS (True Wireless Stereo) system.

Internally, there are 2 discrete amplifiers. This bi-amplification ensures that the amp stage is perfectly matched with the dedicated High Frequency and Low Frequency driver.

With “HF Level” and “LF Level” rear panel controls, the Diamond Studio BT can be tailored to personal taste too.

Diamond Studio BT monitors have been engineered to be accurate. Not to colour or to flatter the overall sound, but to be honest, transparent and to reveal hidden detail.

Monitor positioning

The Diamond Studio BT monitors are a ‘bookshelf’ design and can be used on monitor stands or on a rigid bookshelf. We suggest that they are positioned at least 200mm from the rear walls and 700mm from the side walls, facing slightly inwards.

The bass extension will improve if they are positioned closer to the rear wall. However, if the loudspeakers are placed too close to the walls, the bass will increase but may become boomy and indistinct. If the loudspeakers are placed away from the walls, the inward angle may be increased by up to 40%, although this may restrict the width of the optimum listening position.

A useful rule of thumb is that the listener should be as far from the loudspeakers as they are from each other. The speakers should ideally be positioned so that the treble units are roughly at ear level to the seated listener. As personal taste plays a large role, experiment with different configurations and play a wide range of programme material before finalising the position of your speakers.
