Description
The Palmer PORBIT11US is a premium active 3-way studio monitor engineered for mixing, mastering, post-production, broadcasting, sound design, and content creation. Its coaxial True Point Source design combines a 6.5-inch midrange driver with a 1-inch tweeter on a single acoustic axis, delivering accurate, time-coherent reproduction with a wide 120° × 120° constant directivity pattern for consistent imaging and balanced sound throughout the listening area.
Powerful Three-Way Audio Design
Dual impulse-compensated 8-inch woofers deliver deep, tight, and resonance-free bass down to 28 Hz, while the true 3-way architecture ensures exceptional clarity and full-range accuracy across the entire frequency spectrum. A powerful 1000-watt Class-D amplifier configuration (2 × 250 W plus 1 × 500 W), advanced FIR filtering, and high-resolution 96 kHz/24-bit DSP and DAC provide linear-phase performance, minimal latency, and outstanding dynamic range for critical listening applications.
Optimized for Professional Studios
The ORBIT11US features a cardioid acoustic design that minimizes rearward sound radiation, reducing room interaction and improving wall coupling for more accurate low-frequency performance. A convenient top-mounted control panel provides quick access to input attenuation, a 3-band EQ, Desk and Rear Wall presets, and an 80 Hz high-pass filter, allowing fast optimization for a variety of studio environments.
Flexible Connectivity and Robust Construction
Designed for seamless integration into professional audio systems, the Palmer ORBIT11US includes balanced analog XLR and AES3 digital inputs, along with an AES3 Thru output for easy daisy-chaining. Its rigid die-cast aluminum enclosure minimizes cabinet resonance while providing exceptional durability, and integrated mounting points support wall or ceiling installation. Available in black or white, the ORBIT11US combines professional performance with installation flexibility and modern aesthetics.
