Stereo Sound from a Single Cabinet!

An update of the acclaimed SFX100 powered speaker, the Center Point Stereo Spacestation V.3 allows you to construct an otherworldly 300-degree sound field utilizing a single cabinet. Typically, speakers produce an unpredictable stereo image that fluctuates, depending on the listener's position. Conversely, the Spacestation V.3 creates a stereo sound field that emanates from a stable central point, so your audience will hear the same mix, regardless of where they're sitting. Ideal for amplifying stereo sources such as keyboards or full mixes, the Spacestation V.3 kicks out enough power for live performances in small to mid-sized venues. Sweetwater has always been impressed by these powered speakers and we're glad that the Center Point Stereo Spacestation V.3 has arrived!

Center Point Stereo Spacestation V.3 Powered Stereo Speaker at a Glance:
  • Center Point Stereo (CPS) "magic" provides stereo sound from a single cabinet
  • Width control lets you tailor your sound for the room
  • Updated for improved power and a finely-tuned sound
Center Point Stereo (CPS) "magic" provides stereo sound from a single cabinet

By electronically encoding the stereo left and right signals to be mid (L+R) and side (L-R) signals, then decoding them acoustically by means of a front and side dipole-powered speaker array, the Spacestation V.3 is able to create an expansive, three-dimensional sound field. In fact, the Spacestation V.3's sound field is so vast, its "sweet spot" is everywhere - even around corners and in adjacent rooms! CPS technology was actually awarded a utility patent by the US Patent and Trademark Office, meaning that it is truly a unique, innovative, one-of-a-kind feature. This groundbreaking technology is only available from Center Point Stereo!

Width control lets you tailor your sound for the room

Center Point Stereo understands that every room is different. It's not reasonable to expect that an effect that works well in one venue will work equally as well in another. That's why the Spacestation V.3 features a width control for optimizing the stereo effect to compensate for differences in room acoustics. If you're performing outdoors or in a dead space, you need more width to create a believable three-dimensional sound field. If you're performing in a live or highly-reflective space, you need less width to prevent a washed-out sound. The Spacestation V.3 also features a subwoofer output in case you need more low-end for very large or bass-deficient venues.

Updated for improved power and a finely-tuned sound

As groundbreaking as the previous SFX100 was, there was still room for improvement. The new Spacestation V.3 is more efficient, yet more powerful than its predecessor. As a result of a new active electronic crossover and two 40-watt amps for the mid driver and super tweeter, the Spacestation V.3 is effectively tri-amped! Additionally, the Spacestation V.3's eight-inch Eminence speaker provides better low-end response than its forerunner, due to the presence of a poly cone and foam surround. The Spacestation V.3's mid driver has also been upgraded. Finally, the Spacestation V.3 sports new Speaker Contour controls for fine-tuning your sound.

Center Point Stereo Spacestation V.3 Powered Stereo Speaker Features:
  • Stereo sound from one cabinet provides big sound in a convenient package
  • Stereo Width control lets you tailor your sound for the venue
  • 3-way tri-amp front speaker for power and efficiency
  • Speaker Contour controls for fine-tuning your sound
  • Subwoofer output for maximum performance in large or bass-deficient venues
  • Compact and lightweight for easy transport and setup
  • Includes cover

Simply Amazing

This is just what I was looking for. I'm a worship leader that plays keyboard and sings. I will be using this from small to midsize venues, conference rooms. churches etc. My keyboard is the Korg Kronos LS 88 which I also love and purchased from Sweetwater! As matter of fact all the gear I mentioned here I purchased from Sweetwater. There service is the best! I would recommend reading all the info you can get to properly know how to get the most out of this speaker. I also purchased the Behringer B1200D to go with this unit. They are a match made in heaven! I highly recommend the combo! The other thing I was looking for was a light weight amp and both of these guys fall into this category. If I'm ministering in anything larger than the usual I can just pipe it thru the sound system. This setup is like having a mini PA. It's powerful, full, very spacious and it's true what they say the sound field is everywhere. I couldn't be happier also I forgot to mention I also purchased a small Allen Heath mixer (Zed 10FX) to go with this setup Make sure you get a mixer that has sweepable midrange and not just the fixed 2.5k range. It will give you more control over the mids seeing the Space-station v3 is flat and that's what you want. I highly recommend this speaker. Go buy it!

Sounds REAL

I needed to get my keyboards out of the vocal PA, and so I needed a dedicated amp. I play in a praise and worship group. I use a Kurzweil workstation, and split/layer all kinds of things like acoustic piano, rhodes, accordion, strings, and the like. I also play lefthand bass, but run that into a dedicated bass amp. Josh Dillon was a big help in narrowing down my options. I took his advice on the Aspen Pittman V3. I read all the reviews, watched all the videos. I recommend anyone thinking of this amp, to do the same. It saved me a lot of time. I am not going to go into the interesting tech that is in this amp, but let you know my experience. Once I set it up to be even 3 feet away, with room around it so it could do its thing, it sounded great. You can turn the control for the side speaker up and down, to see the 'stereo' effect. It is subtle, but also major. Everything sounded REAL. When I played an acoustic piano sound, it sounded like an acoustic piano was in the room, as opposed to playing an acoustic piano sample through an amp. This goes for anything else as well. I am looking forward to playing again this weekend just so that I can hear this thing! Well done, and thanks Josh!

Nothing sounds like this speaker.

Everyone who has ever heard this speaker, the product of a genius Aspen Pittman, in sound reproduction has said "all that out of that little thing"! It's portable, compact, and a powerful speaker! I play in a band every weekend and the loud guitar player on the other side of the stage can hear my keyboards through this speaker. I play right next to the bass player in a corner and it still cuts through the wash of bass frequencies and sounds awesome. The best part is the stereo imagining that brings out all the hard work my Nord Stage builders put into their products. The sound is all around you and I even run my vocals through the speaker and I can hear myself sing perfectly on stage. It's hard to think of all the hassles and money I spent trying to get what I get now. They can still not compare to the imaging this speaker gives. Best bang for the buck I have ever spent. I use the Presonus Temblor 10" sub with this speaker to produce a full spectrum of bass for the synth parts. What a sound!!

Second Review of SSV3

I've owned one of these units for eight years now and as a keyboard player, I was sold on it from the very first video I saw of Aspen demonstrating it on YouTube.

What do I hear from my bandmates all the time? TURN IT DOWN, MAN, YOU'RE WAY TOO LOUD! And I stand next to the drummer and behind our guitarist, so I am surrounded by a wall of sound that my keyboards have to break through to be heard. I guess the SSV3 is doing its job in spades, if THEY want me to turn it down and not the audience/sound guy…

We just played an outdoor venue at the Washington State Spring Fair with the SSV3. It was cold, damp, and a little breezy; the sound guy only had one DI channel to offer me, so we both decided to pass on running my KRONOS2 through the house or monitors. Bass player was about twenty feet to my left on the other side of the drummer, and after the show said he could hear me clearly and wasn't too loud at all. When I told him that was all the SSV3 and no other sound support, he was really surprised and impressed. Drummer wasn't though, he asked me to turn it down some halfway through our set - guess I had the 8" speaker pointed directly at him LOL.

Does it have a slight hiss? Yes, it sort of does, but when you start playing, it isn't noticeable at all. I've never had any other issue with 'noise' from the amp other than what I'd consider to be normal amp noise. Your issue might be more serious and indicative of defective workmanship, as manufacture of new SSV3s may have changed somewhat since I bought mine in 2015 (material sources, mfg plants, quality control, etc.). I also bought mine when Aspen Pittman was still alive and owned the company; I have had no interaction with the new owner or the company since he passed, and while related to him, she still isn't the same innovative, inventive person as Aspen.
