The SC205
The SC205 is a SilverCone two-way system with a 5" woofer. With an extended bass frequency response and an astounding output level, it will easily fill your room with exceptional sound.
The nearfield monitor also comes with the convenience of threaded screw inserts on the bottom and the back. That way, you can mount your SC205 on a regular microphone or speaker stand, or use the back plate for different wall mounting options.
Even if the focus is on the sound - our monitors offer a holistic solution that is well thought out from A to Z
Simply set and save filters & volume.
For precise bass reproduction without background noise.

Tech Talk
The SC205 uses our 5" SilverCone woofer for an extended bass response. This very stiff diaphragm is honeycomb structured and glass fibre coated. Like in other models, such as the smaller SC204, the SC205 is driven by a sophisticated low distortion copper cap magnet system that uses a 1" voice coil responsible for delivering a greater linear excursion. All in all, this produces a bigger dynamic range than you would naturally assume from a speaker of these proportions. The result is an unsurpassed audio transparency that, when coupled with our proprietary AMT tweeter and PWM amplifier, will surprise you with a very powerful and precise low end.

The Air Motion Transformer
Our AMT (Air Motion Transformer) tweeter is our own proprietary technology that follows the rule of not using "off-the-shelf" components when looking for the best possible results. The preciseness and detail in the high frequency, along with the general tightness of the bass and mid-range frequencies, will make the SC205 equally adequate for use on the road or in studio.
Our tweeters base on the ribbon tweeter technology. We reinvented our own version of the AMT which our speakers are well known for.
Understanding the Air Motion Transformer
The Air Motion Transformer (AMT) is a unique driver technology, distinct from other audio drivers. It utilizes a lightweight, hand-folded diaphragm that is thinly coated with aluminum. The current of the music signal flows through these conductive strands.
The diaphragm is placed in a powerful magnetic field leading to movement in the folds caused by the Lorenz force. Due to the opposing direction of the current the walls of each single fold work against each other. The air between the folds is squeezed in and out at a ratio of 1:4, compared to the 1:1 ratio of a regular dome tweeter.
This results in higher resolution and dynamics in the tweeter section, along with a very low distortion level, allowing superior sound quality with enhanced detail and clarity.
Press and hold the control three seconds in order to put the monitor in Standby mode. The volume will decrease gradually while the LED ring lights up once around the Volume control. Afterwards, the LED on the right end will remain dimly lit and the power consumption is reduced to 1 watt.
The volume can be adjusted by turning the knob. Depending on the LED mode selected, the volume will be displayed as a dim/ bright circle or as a dim/bright point.
To put the monitor in Mute Mode, turn the Volume control counter
clockwise until you reach the minimum level. When the LED on the left
end lights up dimly the Mute Mode is activated.
Press the SMART-knob once to enter the Settings menu. Here you can set
different filters as well as the LED ring’s behavior. The LED
of the currently active function blinks. Click the different filters above to find out more about them!
The High-Shelf Filter helps you adjust frequencies above 3kHz in 0.5dB increments. You may need it in the following situations:
Distance from Speakers: High frequencies weaken as you move further from the speakers. If you sit far from the speakers, boost the high frequencies. If you're close, like in a desktop setup (about 1 meter or 3 feet away), you might need to reduce the high frequencies.
Room Acoustics: In a room with few reflective surfaces ("dead room"), boosting high frequencies can create a more balanced sound. Conversely, in a room with many reflective surfaces, reducing the high frequencies is advisable.
Adjust the High Filter accordingly and achieve the best sound quality based on your listening position.
The Mid Filter is a bell filter centered at 1kHz. It allows you to boost or cut the midrange by up to +/-3dB in 0.5dB increments. Here's what you should consider:
Frequency Balance: The midrange is crucial for balancing lower and higher mid frequencies. Use the Mid Filter to fine-tune the balance between the fundamental and harmonic frequencies in your music.
Room Acoustics: The acoustics of your room can affect how midrange frequencies are perceived. Sound energy from the monitors may reflect off surfaces like walls, floors, and ceilings, altering the sound. Adjust the Mid Filter to compensate for these reflections and achieve a balanced sound.
The Mid filter is available on SC2070, SC3070, SC4070, SC3010 and SC3012.
The desk filter allows you to boost or cut you low-mid frequencies in 0.5dB increments:
Narrow-Band EQ: Depending on the model the filter is centered between 160 and 200Hz. When turned down, it reduces the low-mid boost often caused by reflections from mixers and similar surfaces. Decrease the filter gain to lessen this effect.
EQ at 80Hz: When turned up, it enhances the lower frequencies, giving more punch to the sound.
The Low-Shelf Filter allows you to boost or attenuate frequencies below 300Hz in 0.5dB steps. Here's when to use it:
Attenuating Low Frequencies: If your room's acoustics cause a boost in low frequencies (due to room modes or speakers being close to walls), you can reduce them with the Low-Shelf Filter.
Boosting Low Frequencies: If the low frequencies are too weak, you can enhance them to achieve a balanced frequency response.
Adjust the Low-Shelf Filter accordingly to address any issues in the low frequency range caused by your room's acoustics.
The LED Mode determines how the LED ring displays the volume level. There are four available modes:
Bright Ring: All LEDs up to the selected volume level light up brightly. As the signal gets louder, he brightly lit ring extends.
Bright Point: Only the LED corresponding to the selected volume level lights up brightly. As the signal gets louder, the brightly lit point moves further up.
Dim Ring: All LEDs up to the selected volume level light up dimly. As the signal gets louder, the dimly lit ring extends. The LEDs light up brightly momentarily when you adjust the volume.
Dim Point: Only the LED corresponding to the selected volume level lights up dimly. As the signal gets louder, the dimly lit point moves further up.
In all modes, the LEDs indicate volume levels, adjusting in four steps. Intermediate steps are shown by the brightness level between two adjacent LEDs.
