EVE Audio SC207

I'm a hobbyist songwriter and recording enthusiast, and I purchased the Eve Audio SC207 monitors for use in my small project studio. I purchased one that was open box and one brand new. I can't tell which is which, so buy open box if available. I haven't compared them side-by-side to the Adam A7X speakers, but I don't think the treble sounds as hyped as I recall the A7X's sounding. Because of the DSP, these speakers sound a little "processed" with a slight digital character, but I think the DSP makes them sound well-balanced. To me, the A7X's treble sounded a little sweet, like a modern day NS-10M. Eve Audio's integrated DSP offers precision control of high and low EQ curves, as well as a "desk" curve to adjust for desk surface reflection. When comparing Eve Audio's speakers to Adam or HEDD brands, who use similar ribbon tweeters, I noticed that neither of Eve's competitors published their frequency response chart. I would suspect that the DSP helps to make the Eve Audio speakers more accurate, at least on paper. I've paired my speakers with Sonarworks Reference 4 in order to compensate for the inadequacies of my small treated room. As a result, I think my studio sounds pretty decent. In fact, I feel confident that no other speaker in this price range would sound better. When I purchased my SC207's in August (2018), Thomann shipped them to my home in Florida, USA... and the shipping was a flat $35 with no other import or customs fees. That's cheaper than I could get them shipped from within the US! The total price was amazing and my experience was on par with that of any US online retailer. I'm now a new fan of Thomann and Eve Audio.

For comparison, I have primarily used Event and Equator Audio studio monitors in the past. Both of those have been excellent (and have translated fairly well); however, the Eve SC207 pair is a significant improvement and well worth the expense.

These are being used as the near-field monitors in the studio's mixing space, and they are paired with an Eve subwoofer to extend the frequency range of the system a bit. Fit and finish are outstanding. The manual is a bit difficult to understand in parts (probably only with regard to the English translation, however) - that said, I had no issues setting everything up and dialing the monitors in. They were well matched in output (within 1db), and they display a remarkable ability to represent the stereo field quite faithfully. Mixes done on them translate quite well (although I would always recommend a secondary mono setup with a "less than flat" speaker as a phase/radio check!).

I strongly recommend the Eve's - they are well worth their very reasonable cost. Thomann was great as a dealer (and I'm in the U.S.) - everything went very smoothly.

For 2 years I google and talk to people and all sorts of advice was handed to me and eventualy unabled me to buy any speakers at all. I decided to blindly buy SC207 just because it is "something different" as in not adam dynaudio or focal. AX7, Alpha 65 and SC207 are to me similar sounding speakers, but eventualy find their differences in Genres. In my opinion, SC207 are more versatile since it can reach low Hz in low volumes which enables me to work for long time. I can hear everything very clearly and are very loud if you want them to be.
My take - dont worry too much, just buy a set of speakers that will get you working, each monitor takes getting used to and working on them makes you adapt better to them and your room. Just start working and leave this techincal thing aside, choose 1 you cant go wrong! especialy with thomann and their return policys with excelent customer feedback!

Huge respect for the boys in Berlin with their SC 207.
Cheers all!
