Unity Audio The Mini-rock DSP - Active 2 Way Near-field Monitor - Single

Unity Audio The Mini-rock DSP

The Unity Audio The Mini-rock DSP is an active 2-way near-field monitor perfect for home and small studios. Unity Audio launched their new Mini-Rock 2 way active monitor at the 2018 NAMM show. As the name implies, this new addition represents the smallest model in the company's professional active monitor range to date measuring 279mm high, 184 mm wide, 256 mm deep, (10.98" high x 7.24" wide x 10.07" deep). This high performance 24bit/96k Burr Brown converter design offers a huge amount of DSP control for the user with precise 1/10th dB level control on the input channel and output channels , mute, phase, delay and 8 bands of fully parametric EQ including various filter types, limiter protection. Plenty of factory and user presets are included such as full 3 way crossover integration for the Unity Audio Avalanche sub-woofer.

The intuitive GUI is Mac and PC compatible over sealed air-tight Neutrik Ethernet connector. The DSP also has an additional output channel presented to the Mini-Rocks rear panel on a balanced XLR connector to feed the Unity Audio Avalanche active sub-woofer for example, along with the balanced XLR input connector. The Mini-Rock shares the same 50kHz folded ribbon tweeter that is used in the larger Rock and Boulder models.

The cabinet is of course a sealed design like all the models in the Unity Audio range in order to accurately reproduce low frequencies with superior transient response and without any phase/timing anomalies associated with other designs. The Mini-Rock is also the first monitor in the range with the exception of the Avalanche sub-woofer that uses a split dual-chamber cabinet with Aperiodic Vent. This delivers all the benefits of a sealed cabinet such as zero port noise and tight fast accurate bass reproduction. It also significantly increases the bass response available from a smaller cabinet design.
