Emes The Owl Active HR System
Unique studio monitor design from EMES using the patented Embracing Sound Experience System™.

The Emes The Owl Active HR System is a unique studio monitor design from EMES using the patented Embracing Sound Experience System™. The ESE (Embracing Sound Experience) System™ allows the reproduction of a sound image from a single enclosure. This eliminates artifacts such as acoustic crosstalk, extensive comb filtering, etc., introduced by any left/right mono-speaker configuration.

The ESE System™ is based on the discovery that the human sense of hearing can recreate the acoustic image, which up to now, manufacturers have attempted to reproduce using two separately positioned speakers. Suddenly, stereo is no longer just a question of left and right, but also of foreground and background. We all know that the recorded sound already contains the directional information that the brain needs. The removal of time and phase faults, by placing the speakers together, makes listening more restful and allows the listener to hear a high resolution image from any point in the room.

The Emes The Owl Active HR System is compatible with Stereo, Mono, Dolby ProLogic, Dolby Digital, DTS, Roland RSS and Q-Sound formats. An Emes The Owl Active HR System also can easily replace a complete (L/C/R) front channel configuration in a surround sound set up.
