The SAT 5 MK II is the first significant upgrade to Blue Sky’s original SAT 5. The MK II version includes several upgrades, which both increase performance and reliability.

Each SAT 5 MK II features a cast aluminum frame, 5.25" hemispherical woofer and a .75" dual concentric diaphragm tweeter with integral wave guide for superior off-axis response. Powered by two low-distortion 60-Watt amplifiers with a computer optimized electronic crossover, the SAT 5 MK II Satellites deliver clean, accurate sound with a reproduction frequency response of 80Hz to 20kHz +3.0dB (200Hz to 10kHz +1.5dB). On the rear panel there is a Power Switch, Voltage Selector Switch, Fuse Holder, Gain Control, 12dB Input Attenuator Switch, LED power indicator, 80Hz High Pass Filter Switch and a balanced XLR Input.

The Blue Sky SAT 5 MK II Satellite speakers are housed in MDF enclosures and measure a compact 10.88"H x 6.62"W x 11.46"D, weighing 24lbs. (each). The SAT 5 MK II powered speakers feature full video shielding, perfect for use near CRT video monitors. The SAT 5 MK II Satellite speakers also come standard with M6 X 12mm inserts, located on the bottom of the cabinet, for attachment of OmniMount type 30 (formerly known as the 75 Series) brackets or Powerdrive WHO 75 type brackets.

Features

• Gain range attenuator (+12dBu or +24dBu operation): Allows the user to easily optimize the signal to noise ratio
• Redesigned input stage: Improved signal to noise performance, with lower noise floor.
• Improved reliability: Newly designed, individually optimized, driver protection. Protects against both short and long term damage, without negatively impacting sound quality.
• New sealed chamber for tweeter: Eliminates the possibility of any air leaks.
• Dual Voltage Operation: Easily configurable via a dual voltage selector switch (115V or 230V)
• Recessed gain control / trim pot: Less likely to be bumped or adjusted accidentally
