Blue Sky (Discontinued) SAT6D 6.5” Power Studio Monitor with DSP

The Blue Sky Sat 6D monitor is designed and assembled in the USA.

The Sat 6D features both XLR Analog inputs and AES/ EBU Digital inputs. The Sat 6D will automatically switch to Digital if both Analog and Digital inputs are connected. In addition, Digital pass thru and Digital Stereo L/R selector switches are provided. The DSP crossover filters are derived using Blue Sky proprietary BOO optimization software. This includes driver (woofer/tweeter) time alignment.

The Digital circuitry features FR4 6-layer circuit boards, Burr-Brown 192 kHz/24 Bit A/D & 192 kHz/24 D/A, and Cirrus Logic Digital receiver and sample rate convertor. In addition, the Sat 6D has a "Pure-Digital" mode for 48 kHz and 96 kHz operation, where the native input from the AES/EBU receiver is sent straight to the DAC.

The Sat 6D has a USB data port for speakers settings, updates and room correction input which includes a 1/3 octave 31 band digital graphic equalizer, selectable parametric EQ, pink noise generator, adjustable time delay and gain control.

The Sat 6D can be set to operate in full-range mode, when a sub is not utilized through selectable DSP low-pass filters and a rear port with a removable plate. The Sat 6D has 450-watts of Hypex UcD amplifier power with trickle down N-core technology.
