Two-way vs. three-way

The vocal no longer rides on the kick.

MiniMax3 gives the voice its own 3″ midrange, so each part of the mix stays distinct. A typical compact two-way plays the kick and the vocal through one small woofer.

Stop mixing with your head in a vise.

With separate drivers, the 3.6 kHz region shifts every time you move, right where vocal presence lives. ISP puts both drivers at one point, so it stays put.

3.5″ carbon woofer

Kick and bass shouldn’t blur together.
Not even on a 3.5″ woofer.

Keeping the kick and the bass apart takes control, not just depth. So the low end gets its own dedicated 3.5″ woofer that never plays the vocal, built part by part for one job: the magnet, the motor and the coil, plus a passive radiator.

The 3.35-inch (85 mm) magnet of the MiniMax3 woofer

01 · 3.35″ magnet on a 3.5″ woofer

The kick ends when the track says so.

A denser field in the gap gives the voice coil a firmer grip. It starts the cone on the hit and brakes it on the release, so the tail you hear is the tail you mixed.

MAGNET SIZE · KICK RESPONSESmall magnetfield in the gap3.35″ magnetfield in the gap

Why size matters — more field in the gap, a tighter kick

02 · SOVOX HLMS™ · two rings in the gap

Louder doesn’t mean dirtier.

Turn a small woofer up and two things go wrong: it adds harmonics you never put in the mix, and it starts squashing the peaks. SOVOX HLMS™ tackles both in the gap: a copper Faraday ring keeps the push even, and a demodulation ring keeps the field steady under current.

The six-layer voice coil of the MiniMax3 woofer

03 · Six-layer voice coil

The last mix of the night sounds like the first.

As a voice coil heats up, it quietly loses level, and you start pushing the fader to make up for it. A custom six-layer coil puts more copper in the gap to take that heat, so the woofer stays where you set it.

The 3.5 × 6.3-inch passive radiator of the MiniMax3

04 · 3.5″ × 6.3″ passive radiator

Nothing chuffs on the drop.

On a ported speaker, part of the low end you hear is the port itself: air noise on loud notes, and a tone from the tube. MiniMax3 has no port. A 3.5″ × 6.3″ passive radiator takes the bass down to 46 Hz (−6 dB), so what you hear is the woofer, not the tube.

DSP room adaptation

Your desk is part of the speaker.
Tell MiniMax3 where it sits.

A desk under a speaker, or a wall behind it, adds bass that isn’t in your mix. Choose Free, Desk, Wall or Desk & Wall, and the DSP evens that boost back out. Then trim treble and bass to match your room, not to flatter it.

Frequently asked questions

¿Qué garantía incluye el MiniMax3 Monitor?
La Serie MINIMAX incluye una garantía estándar de 1 año que cubre defectos de materiales y mano de obra bajo uso normal, además de una garantía extendida opcional de +3 años disponible mediante el registro del producto. Registre el producto con un comprobante de compra válido; el período extendido se agrega una vez que vence la garantía estándar. Para hacer una reclamación, contacte a customerservice@sovox.com con su número de serie y su comprobante de compra.

¿Puedo devolver el MiniMax3 Monitor si no se adapta a mi escritorio?
Puede devolver su producto SOVOX dentro de los 30 días posteriores a su recepción para obtener un reembolso total, siempre que lo haya comprado en la tienda oficial de SOVOX o a un distribuidor autorizado y lo devuelva en su empaque original, en estado nuevo o casi nuevo. Escriba a customerservice@sovox.com para solicitar un número RMA (autorización de devolución); una vez emitido, el producto debe llegarnos en un plazo de 14 días calendario. El costo de envío y el riesgo en tránsito de las devoluciones corren por cuenta del cliente.

¿Desde dónde se envía el MiniMax3 Monitor y quién se encarga del soporte?
Los pedidos se envían por vía aérea directamente desde nuestra fábrica en China, con los aranceles de importación y el IVA prepagados (DDP), por lo que no hay nada que pagar en la entrega. El soporte, los números RMA y las reclamaciones de garantía los gestiona directamente SOVOX en customerservice@sovox.com; no hay ningún distribuidor externo de por medio.

¿En qué se diferencia un monitor coaxial de 3 vías de un monitor de 2 vías del mismo tamaño?
Un monitor de 2 vías hace el corte entre el woofer y el tweeter alrededor de 2-3 kHz, en la región donde el oído es más sensible a los errores de tiempo y de directividad. El MiniMax3 Monitor hace los cortes a 240 Hz y 3.6 kHz, de modo que un altavoz de medios dedicado de fibra de carbono de 3″ cubre la banda vocal sin tener que mover aire también para los graves. Montar el tweeter de domo de seda de 1″ en el mismo eje que ese altavoz de medios hace que el par se comporte casi como una sola fuente puntual, lo que mantiene la respuesta consistente cuando te mueves verticalmente en el escritorio.

¿Cuánto ancho de escritorio necesita el MiniMax3 Monitor?
Cada altavoz mide 110 mm de ancho, 195 mm de alto y 200 mm de profundidad, por lo que un par estéreo ocupa 220 mm de ancho total antes de cualquier separación respecto a una pantalla o a la pared. El peso neto es de 4.1 kg por altavoz, lo que lo mantiene dentro del rango de la mayoría de las abrazaderas de escritorio y brazos para monitor.

¿Necesito una interfaz de audio para usar el MiniMax3 Monitor?
No. Acepta XLR balanceado a +4 dBu y RCA no balanceado a −10 dBV, así que se conecta directamente a una interfaz de audio, una mezcladora o una fuente de audio de consumo con salidas RCA. El puerto USB-C trasero es solo para actualizaciones de firmware y no es una entrada de audio.
