The Ocean Way HR4 Reference Monitor is a meticulously crafted active 2-way studio monitor that promises unerring audio precision, making it an ideal tool for professional production, mixing, and mastering. With its proprietary dual/hybrid waveguide system, the HR4 offers an extraordinary 100° horizontal and 40° vertical dispersion, delivering a broad sweet spot that ensures consistent and accurate stereo imaging across any room. This makes it a versatile choice for both midfield and nearfield applications, as well as main monitor setups with subwoofers.

The HR4 features a robust 250-watt bi-amplification system, with a 125W amp dedicated to both the 8" geometrically reinforced aluminum cone low-frequency driver and the 1" high-resolution silk dome tweeter. The result is a broad frequency response from 35 Hz to 25 kHz and a maximum SPL of 116 dB, ensuring your mixes are both powerful and pristine.

Designed with the precision of a fine musical instrument, the HR4's solid ported cabinet houses its carefully selected components, creating a seamless transition between drivers for a uniform frequency response. Additionally, the monitor accommodates both analog and digital inputs, supporting up to 24-bit/192 kHz data streams, making it as flexible as it is powerful.
