Blue Sky Exo2 Stereo Monitoring System

By Christopher Breen, Macworld.com - August 31, 2010

Blue Sky International maker of a number of of professional 2.1 and 5.1 speaker systems, recently

released the $500 Exo2 stereo monitor system—an update to the company's popular eXo 2.1 system,

which was released in 2007. The Exo2 includes two good-sized satellite speakers, each 7.2 inches high,

5.0 inches wide, and 4.8 inches deep and hosting a single 3-inch woofer and a 1-inch tweeter; a sealed-

enclosure subwoofer, 9.4 inches high, 9 inches wide, and 10.2 inches deep and containing an 8-inch

woofer and the system's ampliﬁer; and a compact "remote hub" (the company's term) This remote is

essentially a small, desktop pre-amp, 4.8 inches wide by 4.0 inches deep by 2.0 inches high, that

features pre-amp outputs, left and right XLR/TRS inputs, and left and right RCA inputs on the back; and a

3.5mm stereo input port, a 3.5mm headphone output port, and System Gain and Subwoofer Gain knobs

on the front.

The Exo2 is designed with the desktop musician in mind—someone mixing his or her GarageBand,

Logic, or Ableton Live project at home or in a small studio, for example. However, given the system's

street price of around $425, the Exo2 is also a reasonable choice for those looking for solid sound for

their Mac's media library or stereo AV system.

Handy hub

Setting up the Exo2 is simple. Included with the system are two 11-foot speaker wires and an 8-foot cable

for connecting the pre-amp to the subwoofer. Just string the speaker wires between the subwoofer and

satellite speakers, connect the subwoofer to the pre-amp, establish your audio connections to the hub,

and ﬂip the power switch on the subwoofer. (There's no power switch or button on the pre-amp.) The

pre-amp supports three distinct audio inputs: the XLR/TRS connectors for an audio mixer or stereo

instrument (a synthesizer, for instance); the RCA inputs for, say playing music from your Mac; and the

3.5mm input for an iPod, iPhone, iPad, or other similar device. (Regrettably there's no optical input or
