Features

Great Monitoring Performance - StudioDock 3i offers the same professional monitoring performance found in all Samson studio monitors, thanks to our use of custom-designed components and a critically damped, vented cabinet design. In addition to the functional aspects of its design, StudioDock is an elegant complement to any desktop, home studio or mixing room.
All-Pro Features - StudioDock 3i features a 3.25-inch, copolymer woofer with a Santoprene surround for high excursion and internal damping, providing uncolored music reproduction. With its high performance, magnetically shielded woofer, the 3i also employs a precision made 25mm silk dome tweeter with a neodymium motor structure for smooth, extended high frequency response that reduces listener fatigue.
Smooth & Accurate Frequency Response - In addition, this revolutionary monitor is powered by an internal 30 watt (2 x 15) high performance, low distortion power amplifier with custom equalization. The result is a system that delivers unusually smooth and accurate frequency response with precise stereo imaging. StudioDock 3i also provides a front panel 3.5mm stereo input jack to plug in an additional sound source, as well as a headphone output jack.

Samson StudioDock 3i Reviews

Samson Studio Dock 3i Active USB Studio Monitors with iPod Dock

Alex Cargill
January 5, 2009

Rating: 10/10

After relying on PC speakers for a number of years I decided that it was finally time to upgrade my studio setup and treat myself to some proper studio monitor speakers. I had been monitoring (no pun intended) the latest products for some time until I finally read about these little beauties in the free Dolphin music magazine - Music Planet. Not only did they sound good (on paper at least), but they were also compact and affordable. So I put my faith in the review and ordered a pair.
I was not disappointed. They fit neatly into my studio and the sound that they produce is fantastic : crystal clear highs, good midrange and smooth, clean bass.
If the main test for studio monitor speakers is to give a true representation of your sound, then these pass with flying colours. Before I had the Studio Docks, I would master a track using a combination of headphones and my old PC speakers. Everything would sound great, or so I thought, until I burned the new track to CD and played it on my stereo or in my car. I would often be annoyed to find that the bass or the kick drum were completely overwhelming the rest of the mix. Another common complaint would be that levels were not quite right - certain sounds needed turning up or turning down.
Having made one new track so far using the Studio Docks for mastering, the difference is obvious : if the mix sounds good through the Studio Docks, it will sound good elsewhere. They really do seem to give a true and accurate picture of your mix.
These are highly recommended.
