Compare Trio6 ST6 for a music-listening setup or studio with space for a three-way monitor. An 8-inch bass driver, 5-inch midrange and beryllium tweeter handle full-range playback; two Focus modes provide reduced-bandwidth checks for production work.
This is the current Trio6 ST6, not Trio6 Be. Compared with Trio11 Be, it uses an 8-inch rather than 11-inch bass driver and adds a one-way Focus option.

What makes Trio6 ST6 distinctive?
01
Three-way, two-way and one-way
In two-way Focus mode, the midrange and tweeter remain active; one-way Focus uses the midrange alone. Compare these reduced-bandwidth views with full-range playback when checking vocal and instrument balance. They do not reproduce every consumer speaker. Use a footswitch to change Focus mode. Confirm the required switch and supplied accessories when arranging the system.
02
Orient the midrange and tweeter
The rotating midrange/tweeter plate supports horizontal or vertical use. Follow the manual’s orientation instructions when planning a matched stereo pair.
SYSTEM SETUP
Connections and placement
Source and volume control
Use a compatible balanced XLR line-level connection from a DAC or preamplifier with volume control, a monitor controller or an audio interface. Confirm output level and volume control before connecting. Amplification is built in; do not connect a power amplifier’s speaker output.
Room and listening position
Match left/right placement around the listening position and check reflections from desks and nearby walls. Use measurement to assess the bass response at the seat.
