It looks like Blue Sky's original EXO monitoring system was so good that all that could be done to improve it was make it smaller and easier to integrate into a desktop workstation setup. That brings us to the brand new EXO2 ($499 MSRP) full-range stereo near-field monitoring system, which offers the same performance features as the original EXO with the addition of a desktop remote control hub and a very compact subwoofer.

Even smaller than that of the original, the EXO2's SUB measures 10" (H) x 9" (W) x 11" (D) and integrates easily into any workspace, with the same performance of the original EXO system 14" SUB. The SAT measures 8" (H) x 5" (W) x 5" (D) and can be wall-mounted with BT Technologies BT-33 Brackets or OmniMount’s 10 Series of wall and ceiling brackets.

The EXO2 has also two 3-inch, 2-way satellites with 1-inch soft-dome tweeter, a separate 8-inch subwoofer for extended low-frequency response, 160W of total system power (35W per satellite, 90W subwoofer), a desktop remote control and connection hub, XLR / TRS inputs, RCA inputs, and a 3.5 mm mini jack input.
