Bought a demo with 1 issue

My last purchase ever from guitar center a few years ago, I purchased a pair of presonus sceptres. One went out a month ago, I noticed sweetwater had 2 demos available. I called to inquire the condition and see if there was a demo that was in better condition just to get the best product for my money. Didn't get much info with the phone call but I ordered one anyway. It sounds great. Not many scratches only issue it has is the blue light on the front of the monitor doesn't come on. The red light doesn't show either when first powering them up. Studios are partially aesthetically put together and it's annoying having people ask why I only have one speaker on when they're both on. Not a big issue but it would be nice if sweetwater added that to the product description so someone knows before spending $ on a used product.

I CAN HEAR

Tried a bunch of speakers and these are my favorite hands down very clear and un-hyped.
by Sweetwater Customer on

1 Year since purchase and still in love!

After getting plenty of use out of these I absolutely love how well they sound! The sound is so clear and musical. Great stereo imaging and huge upgrade from my eris e5 monitors. I also work in a studio that uses Krk 10-3 and i still rather stick with my sceptres. was going to get the 8 inch but my mixing room isnt that big and i also got the presonus temblor subwoofer. If I were to ever upgrade monitors it would be to the 8 inch sceptres unless i hit big and could afford a pair of 5k plus monitors

This is super awesome

These speakers are absolutely mind blowing accurate! I, unfortunately, don't have a very well treated room - so was skeptical about how these will sound. They are very accurate and making it easier for me to find flaws.

Accurate

I came from using Yamaha HS80's for almost seven years. My mixes took a little work to get right. It was control room, car, control room, boom box, control room car- a lot. I'm not knocking the Yamahas and I actually still use them in a separate room. It just took a while to make my mixes happen with them. I decided to bring in these monitors after doing some in-depth research. I've had them now for a couple of weeks and already my mixes have gone from control room to car then mix- with everything I've done so far! I AM blown away! Accuracy should be the number one priority for an audio engineer. I was always guessing about the mid-range with my prior monitors. Now it seems I don't have too! Some have said these are slightly "mid forward" or that the midrange seems to be more present than other monitors. It's probably because these are pretty flat across the spectrum. I did see someone's results from running pink noise and doing an analysis and these are pretty flat! So that's what I want! Accuracy! That's what I got in the Sceptre S6's!

What Do Our In-house Gear Experts Think?

Jonathan Appleton

With my Sceptre S6 monitors, my monitoring "sweet spot" is now big enough that I don't have to sit in just one spot to get the perfect mix. Their stereo imaging puts instruments exactly where they belong in the stereo field and the clarity brings out the slightest details in every recording.

Sweetwater and PreSonus go way back, and that makes a lot of sense. Like Sweetwater, PreSonus is largely staffed by active musicians, songwriters, live sound techs, and engineers, and like Sweetwater, their culture shows up in everything they do. Early on, PreSonus broke ground by offering super-affordable audio interfaces that brought quality recording to home studio engineers everywhere. In the following years, we've been with them as they introduced a powerful, artist-friendly DAW, groundbreaking digital mixers, and more - all products we at Sweetwater use ourselves. One thing that's never changed, even as PreSonus has branched out into new territory, is that they've always done everything possible to provide you with the best value, and we're proud to stand by their products.
