Description
The Grimm Audio LS1v2 is a fully active two-way studio monitor and hi-fi loudspeaker made in the Netherlands. Each cabinet pairs an 8-inch magnesium Seas woofer with a 1-inch dome tweeter driven by two 180W Class D Hypex NCore amplifiers, with an onboard 48/76-bit DSP handling AD/DA conversion, an IIR LR4 crossover at 1550 Hz, and phase linearization. The sealed 14-litre enclosure is suspended between two half-cylinder sides that double as an integral two-legged floor stand, and bass is controlled by DSP down to 35 Hz. It accepts digital and analog inputs, ships with the LS1i USB interface for direct Mac or Windows connection, and provides a DSP-controlled analog subwoofer output for integrating stereo subwoofers.
