The monitors are also blessed with a high-pass crossover and an optional auto standby mode, giving users simple but essential controls.

In essence, the Trio6 studio monitor stands out for its transparency, detailed definition, unparalleled dynamics, and precise soundstage. With its dual Focus mode and a price point that offers remarkable value, it is set to be an industry favorite.
