Quested VS2205, a compact, two-way active monitor featuring a pair of magnetically shielded 130mm bass/mid drivers augmented by a 28mm soft-dome tweeter, all in a compact, dual-ported enclosure. Integral amplifiers deliver 110 Watts to the bass/mids and 50 Watts to the tweeter (continuous power rating) with a fourth-order crossover operating at 1.25kHz. The box size is just 340 x 265 x 282mm, yet the overall weight is a reassuring solid 13kg. A textured black finish gives the cabinets a smart, businesslike look and the cabinet corners are rounded to help minimize both diffraction and transportation injuries!
Anodised blue heatsinks on either side of the cabinet indicate that this is an active monitor, as does the presence of an IEC mains connector and its attendant mains switch on the rear panel. The speakers must be oriented tweeter uppermost as opposed to having the two bass/mid drivers vertically aligned, not only for correct acoustic performance, but also to allow the cooling to work correctly. When powered up, a green LED shows in the middle of the Quested logo. This LED will flash red in the event of a level overload and light solidly red if the thermal protection circuitry cuts in.
A balanced XLR carries the input signal at line level, and to aid setting up in different environments and with different sources, there's also a screwdriver-adjustable rotary gain switch that provides 10 steps in 2dB increments. A couple of three-way toggle switches allow the overall response to be tailored to suit the room/operator and also to match the LF response to the optional subwoofer. The low-frequency switch offers either flat, extended bass or external sub settings while the HF end can be flat or treated to 1.5dB of cut or boost above 6kHz. With the switches set to flat, the nominal frequency response extends from 75Hz to 19kHz (±2dB), but the optional subwoofer takes the bass end down as far as 20Hz.
