Overview

Studio monitors with DSP for the perfect mix on any system.

The VARI SM505 5" studio monitors from Harbinger give you the tools you need to create mixes that translate flawlessly across different playback systems. With three separate DSP voicings—Normal, Reference and Small—the VARI SM505s enable you to check compatibility with systems of any size, from mobile devices to audiophile home speakers.

Translate Mixes Seamlessly With Three DSP Voicings

Getting a mix to sound great on multiple systems is tricky. Often studios use several sets of monitors, from massive speakers to tiny nearfields but the VARI SM505s are here to give you this versatility in a single set of monitors. Their Normal, Reference and Small voicings provide an accurate, full-bodied response and can confirm mix compatibility with mobile devices and speakers, ensuring your music sounds superb on any playback system.

Stream Music and Reference Tracks Via Bluetooth

The SM505's Bluetooth input makes it easy to compare your mix to reference tracks for inspiration, simply stream audio from your phone or tablet even as the VARI SM508s are also connected to your audio interface or other audio equipment over analog inputs. Plus, when you're not mixing, use the Bluetooth to stream tunes into your studio for a convenient way to listen to music.

Superior Audio Quality With Premium Components

Rear-ported monitors can be finicky about placement near walls and corners, the SM505's front-ported design removes those placement restrictions, giving you more flexibility without compromising low end. From the 5" low-frequency driver to the controls on the back panel for fine tuning high- and low-frequency shelving, every component of the VARI SM505 is engineered for premium sound. The high-frequency waveguide provides exceptional stereo imaging with detailed placement across the entire soundfield, giving you the accuracy you need to perfect your mixes.

With pro sound quality, room-friendly design and intuitive controls, Harbinger's VARI SM505 makes it simple to get your mixes sounding superb on any playback system. Whether you're mixing in the studio or jamming to playlists in your living room, the SM505s have you covered.
