1. SAT 6.5 EXR Introduction
Blue Sky is a philosophy. We design each product to represent the highest
ratio possible of performance to cost, providing the highest value added to
our customers.
We will continually seek out opportunities to utilize the talent of the Blue
Sky team to realize this philosophy. Our customer’s value requirements
will always be our prime focus, and only those products that achieve our
performance value ratio will earn the right to carry the Blue Sky logo.
To that end we are proud to introduce the SAT 6.5 EXR. The SAT 6.5 EXR is
a 2-way, bi-amplified, 200-Watt, near-field, ported studio monitor. It features
two 100-Watt amplifiers, a single 6.5” high excursion hemispherical woofer,
and a 1” dual concentric diaphragm tweeter with integral wave guide, for
superior off-axis response.
The SAT 6.5 EXR can be used with or without a subwoofer and like its much
bigger brother, the SAT 12, the rear panel incorporates two completely
independent balanced input stages with XLR connectors. The main input is
for standard 80Hz bass-managed operation, and makes the SAT 6.5 EXR
fully compatible with Blue Sky’s SUB 12, SUB 212 and SUB 15 Universal.
This input features a proprietary port cancellation filter, which helps to mimic
the response of an 80 Hz sealed box speaker, for improved integration with
a Blue Sky subwoofer. Because of the very unique design of the electronics
and the studio monitor, when the 80Hz input is used, this ported monitor has
all the characteristics of a sealed box.
The second “Extended Range” input is designed to be used for applications
where a sub is impractical, or as a second ‘confidence input’, to allow the
engineer or mixer to quickly compare between bass-managed and extended
range modes.
...Providing the ultimate in performance, compatibility and flexibility.
Thank you for choosing Blue Sky!

Voltage Selector Switch:
Prior to powering this unit, please confirm that the voltage selector switch,
located on the back of the SAT 6.5 EXR, has been set to the correct voltage
setting. If you are unsure of the type of power that is supplied to your home,
consult your product dealer or local power company.
Subwoofer Requirements:
For true full-range monitoring, to well below 30Hz, Blue Sky strongly
recommends using a subwoofer such as the Blue Sky SUB 12, SUB 212 or
SUB 15 Universal with the SAT 6.5 EXR.
Please note: For 5.1 applications, it is highly recommended that you always
use proper bass-management via our BMC, a Blue Sky subwoofer, and the
80Hz input on the SAT 6.5 EXR.
