Compact 3-Way Reference Monitoring for Serious Mix Decisions
Image 1 is built for engineers, producers, and professional rooms that need accurate imaging, controlled low end, detailed midrange, and reliable translation from a compact reference monitor.
With a true 3-way layout, dedicated midrange driver, AMT tweeter, DSP control, SoundID Reference support, and dual-opposed low-frequency architecture, Image 1 is designed for critical mix, mastering, and immersive monitoring decisions in smaller and mid-sized rooms.
- Dedicated midrange Improves vocal, guitar, snare, and mix-balance decisions.
- AMT high-frequency detail Reveals transient detail, ambience, and movement without harshness.
- Controlled low end Dual-opposed woofers provide tight, stable bass from a compact cabinet.
- DSP and calibration ready Load SoundID Reference profiles directly into the monitor system.
Modern Monitoring Workflow with Integrated DSP
Image 1 combines onboard DSP processing, AES/EBU, SPDIF digital connectivity, analog XLR input, room adjustment controls, and SoundID Reference integration into a compact professional monitoring platform.
Instead of relying entirely on external correction hardware or software-only workflows, Image 1 allows engineers to store calibration profiles directly inside the monitor system for repeatable translation across rooms and production environments.
SoundID Reference Ready
Store up to four calibration profiles directly in the monitor and switch between setups without rebuilding your workflow.
AES/EBU Digital Input
Connect directly to professional digital monitoring systems while maintaining signal integrity throughout the chain.
CubeMix Monitoring Mode
Quickly evaluate mid-focused playback behavior and translation balance directly through the DCT control software.
Rear Panel EQ Controls
Adjust boundary compensation and room interaction to optimize monitoring performance in different acoustic environments.
Dedicated Midrange Precision and Controlled Low-Frequency Performance
Image 1 combines a dedicated aluminum cone midrange driver, AMT tweeter, sealed cabinet design, and dual-opposed woofer architecture to deliver detailed imaging, stable translation, and controlled monitoring performance from a compact enclosure.
Instead of forcing one driver to reproduce too much of the critical vocal and instrument range, the dedicated midrange system improves clarity, separation, and mix balance while reducing listening fatigue during long sessions.
Dedicated Midrange Driver
The dedicated aluminum midrange improves vocal placement, instrument separation, snare definition, and mix translation in the most critical frequency range.
AMT High-Frequency Detail
The AMT tweeter delivers fast transient response, improved detail retrieval, and extended high-frequency clarity with low distortion.
Vi-bracer Low-Frequency System
Dual-opposed woofers are mechanically coupled through the Fluid Professional Vi-bracer system to reduce cabinet reaction forces and improve low-frequency stability.
Sealed Cabinet Control
The sealed enclosure provides tighter and more controlled low-frequency behavior with reduced room interaction compared to many ported designs.
Built for Dolby Atmos, Compact Rooms, and Scalable Systems
Image 1 is designed for modern immersive production workflows, including Dolby Atmos music mixing, post-production, and multi-channel monitoring systems where translation, consistency, and compact placement matter.
Compact 3-Way Monitoring
Image 1 is the better fit when room size, listening distance, or speaker count demands a compact monitor without giving up the Image Series 3-way monitoring philosophy.
