Flagship Precision for the Modern Studio
The Two18 is engineered for mid-to-large control rooms where engineers require more low-end authority and a larger soundstage without sacrificing nearfield intimacy. By utilizing dual 6.5" aluminum woofers symmetrically placed around a high-density Corian waveguide, the Two18 creates a rock-solid phantom center and a deep 3D image. Its un-hyped, natural presentation reveals the smallest details in transients and frequency balance, making it a dependable tool for high-stakes sessions.
The MTM Advantage:
The Two18 utilizes a D'Appolito (MTM) array, which vertically focuses the sound dispersion. This significantly reduces unwanted reflections from the studio desk and ceiling, resulting in a cleaner signal and a more accurate representation of the stereo field. The dual-woofer design provides the "push" and physical impact of a larger monitor while maintaining the surgical detail of a nearfield reference.
Phase Coherence and Imaging:
Point-Source Behavior: By setting the crossover at a low 1600 Hz, Amphion ensures that the most critical part of the human vocal range is handled by the waveguide-loaded tweeter. This creates a seamless integration between drivers, allowing the entire speaker to function as a single point-source.
Passive Radiator Technology: Instead of a traditional port that can introduce timing smears and "chuffing," the Two18 uses dual rear-facing passive radiators. This provides a tight, controlled bass response down to 39 Hz that remains consistent even at very low listening volumes.
Unsurpassed Translation:
The Two18 is famous for removing the "insecurities" from mixing. Its honest frequency response means you don't have to guess how your EQ and compression choices will sound in a car or on earbuds. It is a "workhorse" monitor that forces you to fix mix issues rather than masking them with artificial brightness or bass boost.
Dual 6.5” Aluminum Woofers: Provide high-headroom midrange clarity and punchy low-end.
1” Titanium Tweeter: Smooth, non-fatiguing high-frequency reproduction.
MTM Configuration: Reduces desk reflections and enhances vertical focus.
Passive Radiator Design: Delivers clean, port-noise-free bass extension.
Proprietary Corian Waveguide: Enhances imaging and ensures time-alignment.
Handmade in Finland: Expertly crafted with a focus on durability and acoustic purity.
