Firing Squad Installs Swan T200a in the Ultimate High-End Gaming Workstation.

Apparently the hardcore PC gamers from the Firing Squad love the Swan T200a high end studio monitor for, well, gaming. I can’t blame them — this is probably the cleanest, hardest-hitting desktop monitor I’ve ever used myself — but I tend to think it’s more than just a very high-end PC speaker.

HiVi developed it as a studio monitor. It’s natural that some enthusiasts would then hook a pair to a tweaked PC just to see what they’d do.

What I like about the T200a is its dual-mono configuration — two completely identical speakers, each with its own dedicated inputs (single-ended and balanced) and internal power supplies.

I think this has much to do with the T200a’s very credible channel separation, and with it, its image, which is pretty darn impressive.

HiVi selected the “Diva” alloy coned-midbass driver for great impact and drive, and their 28mm dome (with German silk diaphragm and some other tricks) with its low crossover point to join with it.

While a rare, expensive bird in the US, the T200a is available on special order. We’ll be bringing some limited quantities in before summer 2007. Click thru for more high-res pictures in our online store.
