Output, and the pro audio monitor manufacturer Barefoot Audio, premiered a brand new line of affordable and premium near field studio monitor speakers at NAMM's 2020 trade show. Deviating from its competitors, Output's monitors will be an affordable top-of-the-line option with an elegant look to match.
The speakers are a modern blend of a matte black upper cabinet and a handcrafted wooden walnut base, housing a 6.5" time-aligned, concentric driver from Barefoot Sound's renowned high-fidelity technology. As Output's brand expands beyond studio software and into studio equipment, the new line of monitors will complement both worlds of its existing digital and physical products.
Output's speakers are expected to be released in the Summer of 2020 at $699 USD per monitor. Early access, as well as the product's wait list, can be found through the company's website.
