The Tapco S-5 is a bi-amplified, 2-way monitor speaker targeting the project studio market, featuring twin 60 Watt amplifiers, a 5.25" woofer, and a waveguide-loaded 1" tweeter. The speaker cabinets are internally damped to nullify vibration and undesirable reflections, and the rear panel chassis, as well as the front panel speaker frames, are made of steel, or something like it.
The S-5's also feature an input level control knob, a pair of rear panel High and Low frequency filter switches, 115-230 voltage switching, and both balanced and unbalanced connectivity.
The S-5 playback is comparatively neutral and non-fatiguing. The cabinet and chassis are well designed, with just enough control to help keep things true to the room, but not enough to get yourself into trouble.
The S-5's are very moderately priced, a good value for the dollar, and built to last. Sound familiar? The company calls itself Tapco by Mackie. It's in the genes.
