Blue Sky’s THX® pm3 Approved SAT 12, is a three way, tri-amplified, 500-Watt, mid-field monitor, featuring a 12” high excursion hemispherical woofer, an ultra low distortion 4” hemispherical midrange driver, and a 1” dual concentric diaphragm tweeter with integral wave guide, for superior off-axis response.


To reduce destructive cabinet diffraction effects, Blue Sky has developed and incorporated into the baffle, the proprietary “Multi-Aperture Acoustic Diffraction Absorber”, which helps to maintain smooth on and off axis frequency response throughout the critical MF and HF frequency range, without the need for a large wave guide or horn.


The SAT 12 is powered by a dedicated low distortion 200-Watt amplifier for the 12” woofer, a low distortion 200-Watt amplifier for the midrange, and a low distortion 100-Watt amplifier for the tweeter. Big Blue effortlessly delivers clean and accurate sound with a frequency response of 45Hz to 30kHz +/-3.0dB (200Hz to 15kHz +/-1.5dB). For full compatibility with Blue Sky’s new SUB 15, SUB 12 and BMC (Bass Management Controller), an 80Hz high-pass network, with phase correction filter is also included. For the ultimate in monitoring flexibility, the rear panel of Big Blue incorporates two completely independent balanced input stages with XLR connectors. The main input is for standard 80Hz bass-managed operation and the second input is for traditional monitoring, without the use of a sub. The rear panel also has controls for “full space” (placement in a room) or “half space” (mounted in a baffle wall) operation, along with individual HF, MF and LF level trims, as well as controls for variable gain settings. Big Blue is designed to operate both vertically or horizontally, thanks to the rotatable MF/HF plate.

Additionally the SAT 12 also comes standard with 1/4" x 20 inserts, located on the bottom and back of the cabinet, for attachment of OmniMount type 120 brackets (www.omnimountpro.com) or Powerdrive type 120 brackets


When combined, the SAT 12 and SUB 15 provide a stunningly accurate and engaging, full-range monitoring system.


Blue Sky SAT 12 Features :


          o Gain range attenuator (+12dBu or +24dBu operation):
           Allows the user to easily optimize the signal to noise ratio

          o Redesigned input stage:
            Improved signal to noise performance, with lower noise floor.

          o Improved reliability:
            Newly designed, individually optimized, driver protection. Protects against both short and long term damage, without negatively impacting sound quality.

          o New sealed chamber for tweeter:
           Eliminates the possibility of any air leaks.

          o Dual Voltage Operation:
           Easily configurable via a dual voltage selector switch (115V or 230V)

          o Recessed gain control / trim pot:
           Less likely to be bumped or adjusted accidentally


Mounting Features :
The SAT 12 includes inserts on the bottom and back of the cabinet which allow for wall or ceiling mounting of the SAT 12. Wall or ceiling mounting of a SAT 12 can allow the end user to more easily adapt the SAT 12 to their studio.

Mounting a large studio monitor, such as the SAT 12, should be done by qualified persons in accordance with all applicable local safety and construction standards. Be certain to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the mounting brackets.


Mounting Options :
Four 1/4" x 20 inserts, located on the bottom and back of the cabinet, for attachment of OmniMount type 120 brackets or Powerdrive type 120 brackets
