The ProAc SM100 Studio Monitors are a pair of compact passive near-field monitors that succeeded the ProAc Studio 100, which was produced for over 20 years until 2013. Designed for both professional studio use and domestic hi-fi listening, the SM100 retains the original cabinet design but features significant upgrades including a new 6.5-inch treated cone bass/midrange driver with rubber surround for improved longevity and power handling, a 1-inch silk dome tweeter with special front plate and roll surround to reduce distortion, and a refined crossover using premium components with multi-strand oxygen-free copper cable supporting bi-wiring and bi-amping. This results in sound quality similar to the Studio 100 but smoother, ideal for extended sessions, combining studio monitor precision with ProAc's signature musicality. Stand mounting is recommended, with acoustically transparent crimplene grilles and finishes in Cherry or Black Ash.
