Welcome to Blue Sky
World-renowned for their accurate, full-range sound, Blue Sky studio
monitoring systems are used in critical listening applications by
audio professionals in a wide variety of industry sectors. Emmy
Award-winning sound editor Eric Lalicata, Grammy Award-winning
engineer/remixer Roger Sanchez and legendary Talking Heads
keyboard/guitarist Jerry Harrison all rely on Blue Sky speakers to
check the accuracy of their work before it goes public. And it's the
same story at film sound facility Skywalker Sound and broadcaster
ESPN, where Blue Sky speakers once again provide an important
link in the production chain.
Blue Sky's fresh approach to studio monitor design delivers the
highest possible ratio of performance to cost, in turn providing the
highest value to our customers.
Making the subwoofer (SUB) an integral part of the monitor system
design enables the I/ON studio monitor to be mounted for the best
imaging, and the SUB to be positioned for the best bass response.
Relieving the I/ON studio monitor of the requirement to reproduce
the low frequencies means that the uncompromised sealed-box
design, can combine with sophisticated bass management to
provide a seamless transition between the I/ON Passive Studio
Monitor and SUB.
It all adds up to accurate, full range sound.

Welcome to I/ON
Your new I/ON Passive Studio Monitor is more than the typical in-
wall or on-wall speaker. The I/ON passive studio monitor includes
many unique features and benefits, which allow it to far exceed
what has come to be expected from passive studio monitors and
in-wall or on-wall speakers. Unique features designed into the I/ON
monitor include:
• Studio grade performance;
Blue Sky's critically acclaimed SAT 6.5 MK II active studio
monitor, and is designed to integrate perfectly with Blue
Sky's SUB 12 and SUB 15 Universal.
• Correct 80 Hz roll off; for proper integration with Blue
Sky's, and also many consumer, bass management
systems.
• Fully sealed box design; for easy installation in a wall,
or on a wall, without needing to rely on the inner wall as
an enclosure. This provides the correct acoustic volume
every time and eliminates the need for an accessory box
to seal off the internal wall.
• Versatile; the same product mounts either in, or on a
wall. It can also easily be mounted vertically, horizontally,
or upside down.

• Low diffraction cloth grille; greatly minimizes the
acoustic impact of the grill cloth and grill frame on the
performance of the I/ON passive studio monitor.
The end result is an on-wall / in-wall passive studio monitor that
integrates seamlessly into to your studio, home cinema, boardroom,
or other critical listening environment and provides the type of
performance our customers have come to expect from Blue Sky.

Important Note about
I/ON
Use of a Subwoofer / Bass Management: The I/ON Passive
Studio Monitor is designed to be used with a subwoofer and the
requisite bass management electronics. Bass-management
uses electronic filters to redirect bass frequencies from the main
channels to the subwoofer. Bass-management electronics for
stereo applications are included in Blue Sky's SUB 12 and SUB
15 Universal. For surround applications, you must use Blue Sky's
Bass-Management Controller (BMC) MK II, an A/V controller /
receiver, or similar product that includes this particular feature
set. In order to best match the filters included in Blue Sky's bass
management filters and achieve the best possible summation
between the I/ON Passive Studio Monitor and subwoofer, we
recommend products that use the following crossover frequency
and slopes:
High-Pass Filter: 80 Hz / 12 dB per octave
Low-Pass Filter: 80 Hz / 24 dB per octave
Note: Most THX Certified consumer receivers / controllers include
these filters and default to these settings. There are many non THX
Certified products that include these filters as well. Consult your owners
manual or contact the manufacturer for more specific information.
