Pro8 - Reviews - Music Tech Magazine

These active nearfields from French outfit Prodipe could prove a very affordable monitoring solution. Huw Price turns it up...

Price: £349.00
Manufacturer: Prodipe
Website: http://www.ipemusic.com

Well, they’re not going to win any design awards, but these Prodipe Pro8s feel as solid as they look. The cabinets are no-nonsense MDF boxes that are ported along the bottom edge, and the ‘8’ in Pro8 refers to the diameter of the bass driver. In this case it’s a ‘glass aramid composite cone woofer’ with a rubber surround, and it feels very stiff.

Score: 8
