An optimised, low-resonance enclosure with a reinforced front baffle houses the Air Motion Transformer RS7 and a 6.5" SilverCone woofer, as well as the amplifier unit with a total output power of 250W. Intelligent protection mechanisms prevent the drivers from overload. The bevelled cabinet edges reduce sound diffractions.
All adjustments can be made via the SMART-knob, which is a trademark of all EVE Audio studio monitors. Thus, a variety of improvements to the respective room situations can be made in the easiest way possible from the front of the studio monitor. On the strength of the combination of these technologies, the SC2070 offers unmatched performance for its compact size with maximum impulse fidelity.

The Air Motion Transformer RS7, specially developed for SC2070, is the largest AMT used in a 2-way monitor. The diaphragm area is 1.5 times larger than that of AMT RS1, RS2, RS3 and RS3.1 used in our other models and almost as large as in AMT RS6, which is employed exclusively in our main monitors SC3010 and SC3012. With great precision and detail, the RS7 reproduces silky smooth top end down to upper midrange frequencies. With a crossover frequency set to deep 1800Hz, the midrange imaging is assured at levels like those normally found in 3-way systems.
The 6.5" SilverCone woofer is driven by an advanced, low distortion copper cap magnet system with a 1.5" voice coil. The combination of very light and extremely stiff honeycomb cone material enables this woofer to provide a solid base with low distortion and precise and dynamic bass.
Two high-quality Class D amplifiers complete the system and provide enough output power to meet the demands of modern music production. The maximum input level can be adjusted between 7dBu and 22dBu to ensure the best possible A/D converter resolution.
The Air Motion Transformer
We reinvented our own version of the ribbon tweeter technology 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 Lorentz 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.
The SMART-knob

Powering On/Off: Standby Mode
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.
Volume
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.
Mute
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.
Settings
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!
High Filter
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.

Mid Filter
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.

Desk Filter
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.

Low Filter
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.
