Sat
6.5 and SUB 12 represent the first products built using
this philosophy.
Ultra high quality, THX Approved studio monitors, with a
price vs.
performance ratio that cannot be beat.
The SAT 6.5 monitor is both substantial and distinctive
in appearance. It's
a biamplified two-way monitor consisting of a 6 1/2-inch
hemispherical
woofer and 1- inch tweeter, but that's where the similarities
to other small
monitors end.
The SUB 12 is a powered 12-inch woofer with a typical in-room
bandwidth
of 20 to 200 Hz. It's amplified by a 200-watt amplifier.
The unit is 18 inches
high by 16 inches wide by 20 inches deep, weighs 62 lbs.,
and comes with
attachable spiked isolation feet. The SUB 12 also has an
integral bass
manager section, but for stereo only (for the 2.1 system)
operation.
The result is the Blue Sky System 5.1, a system that contains
not only the
monitors, but also the bass manager and monitor controller
in one
seamless and affordable package.
Why do leading industry professionals choose Blue Sky Bass-Managed
Monitoring Systems as their reference monitoring system?
1. Blue Sky Bass-Managed Monitoring Systems are truly full-range!
Unlike most monitoring systems on the market today (even
most large dual
15" in wall studio monitors), only a bass-managed system,
like the SAT
6.5 / SUB 12, can deliver true full-range in-room response
(20Hz to 20Khz).
This allows you to hear everything that your digital recorder
is recording,
including many of the subsonic artifacts that only a mastering
engineer
would typically be able to detect.
2. Blue Sky Bass-Managed Monitoring Systems strictly adhere
to industry
standards put forth by companies like THXR and DolbyR. Blue
Sky
believes that your monitoring system shouldn't just sound
good, but that
the mixes you create on these monitors should also translate
into other
environments such as Consumer Audio Systems, Consumer Home
Theatres or even Commercial Cinemas.
3. Unlike many systems on the market, Blue Sky's computer
optimized
bass-management and crossover networks ensure accurate and
smooth
transition from Subwoofer to Main Monitor and smooth on
and off axis
frequency response... We strongly believe that our monitoring
systems
need to be unquestionably accurate and we therefore have
our products,
measurements and data reviewed by an independent company-
Lucasfi
lm's THX Division. THX reviews and then approves that we
have met or
exceeded all of their stringent standards for professional
monitoring
systems under their pm3 program. Monitor with confi dence!

2.BMC(Bass
Management and remote volume Controller)
![](img/BMC.jpg)
Blue Sky International has created the
BMC to offer full bass
management and remote volume control in a convenient,
easy to use and
affordable package. Designed for professional applications,
such as
surround music or post production, the Blue Sky BMC features
fully
balanced inputs and outputs, along with ultra high-quality
audio
components. The BMC can be combined with Sky System One
or the soon
to be released ProDesk System to create a world class
multi-channel studio
monitoring system. Because the BMC utilizes industry standard
bass
management circuitry it is also compatible with many other
studio monitors.
The BMC includes all the functions you need for proper
bass management
and multi-channel volume control.
- includes full function remote control
- 80Hz 2nd order Linkwitz-Riley high-pass filter with
a Q of .707
- 80Hz 4th order Linkwitz-Riley low-pass filter
- 5.1 channels of bass management with volume control
- easily expandable to a maximum of 10.2 channels
- +24dBu (maximum input) fully balanced XLR inputs and
outputs
- defeatable bass management for pure multi-channel volume
control
- LFE level adjustment 0dB or +10dB
- individual output mutes
- individual and master calibration / level controls
- reference and mute controls
- .002% THD + Noise @ 1kHz @ +4dBu
3.ProDesk
![](img/prodesk.jpg)
Introducing ProDesk, the first truly
full-range monitoring system
specifically designed for critical mixing and monitoring
on the desktop.
ProDesk brings the desktop user the same spectral performance
as Sky
System One, with the only compromise being less output than
its bigger
brother. ProDesk uses the same revolutionary design technologies
that
were used in Sky System One. Ultra low distortion, proprietary
woofers,
superlative Danish tweeters and highly optimized amplifiers
specifically
designed for this application. ProDesk is the logical evolution
of Blue
Sky's 2.1- integrated 3-way system concept and when used
with Blue
Sky's new BMC, can also offer an extremely high performance
5.1 solution
for desktop applications.

4.BigBlue &
Stand
Big Blue
Big Blue is a 500-Watt, mid-field studio monitor that is
designed for no compromise monitor applications.
Big Blue features dual 8¡± woofers, a single 4¡± midrange,
and a 1¡± dual concentric tweeter.
Big Blue is powered by four internal amplifiers; delivering
a 100-Watts to each 8¡± woofer,
200-Watts to the midrange, and 100-Watts to the tweeter.
Big Blue is designed to work with two to four Blue Sky SUB
12 subwoofers,
and provides the necessary SPL for a true full-range mid-field
monitoring solution.
The Stand
The Stand is an ultra high quality, adjustable
speaker support system, which is compatible with Blue Sky's
line of studio monitors and through the use of the optional
adapter plate, almost any other near-field monitoring system.
Designed around a patented center adjustable pole and tilting
bracket assembly, the system requires no tools for height
adjustment. The included base provides the necessary stability
for proper and safe operation, even with monitors nearing
80 pounds in weight.
