Полочная акустика — Vestlyd M6C

The M6C Active is a powered stereo speaker pair from Vestlyd, a Danish brand that makes active monitors for home listening, desks and TV use. It is the smaller of two models launched together with the M8C, and its price is EUR 899 for the pair, covered by a 3-year guarantee and a 30 day trial. The styling follows classic studio monitors of the past, while the connections target TVs, desktops and record players.

Key specs that matter

Each cabinet uses a coaxial driver, with a 1 inch titanium tweeter mounted in the middle of a 6.5 inch woofer with a paper cone. Amplification is four independent PWM Class D channels of 75 W each across the pair, one for every driver. Vestlyd quotes frequency response of 47.5 Hz to 22 kHz at minus 3 dB and 43 Hz to 24 kHz at minus 6 dB. Each speaker measures 36.3 cm high, 24.6 cm wide and 21.6 cm deep, and the pair weighs between 16.49 kg and 18.92 kg. Standby consumption stays under 0.5 W. Finishes are oak effect PVC or black synthetic leather.

Engineering and use context

Mounting the tweeter inside the woofer motor puts both drivers on one axis, which Vestlyd uses for time alignment between the two. The MDF cabinets are bass reflex loaded and have a 35 mm socket for pole mounting. Inputs cover HDMI eARC for a television, optical digital, USB-C for a computer at up to 24-bit and 192 kHz, a combined XLR and 6.35 mm jack analogue socket, and RCA that can switch to a built-in phono stage for moving magnet cartridges. Wireless streaming runs over Bluetooth 5.1 and accepts AAC as well as the aptX HD and aptX Low Latency codecs. On the rear panel are left and right swap and bass and treble trim, and three factory presets for music, film and flat use can be selected. An auto on and standby function wakes the pair when a signal arrives, and a remote with AAA batteries comes in the box together with power, speaker and USB-C cables.

Pairing

Since the amplifiers and inputs are built in, a turntable carrying an MM pickup, a TV, a computer or a phone can connect directly without a separate amplifier. A subwoofer output lets owners add a powered sub below the woofer's range, and matching floor stands are offered separately for use away from a desk or shelf. The combined XLR and jack input also accepts a studio mixer or audio interface with balanced outputs.

Alternatives

The Vestlyd M8C Active is the larger model launched alongside it, aimed at buyers wanting deeper bass from a bigger cabinet.
