 ProDesk™ SAT 5 Active Satellite & SUB 8 Active Subwoofer

Owners Manual for 2.1 (Stereo) Applications Issue 1, rev 3

1. Philosophy 

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 ProDesk™, the fi rst  truly  full-range 

monitoring system specifi cally designed for critical mixing and monitoring on 

the desktop.  ProDesk™ brings the desktop user the same spectral performance 

as Sky System One, with the only compromise being less output than its bigger 

brother.  ProDesk™ uses the same revolutionary design technologies that were 

used in Sky System One.  Ultra low distortion, proprietary woofers, superlative 

Danish tweeters and highly optimized amplifi ers specifi cally designed for this 

application.  ProDesk™ is the logical evolution of Blue Sky’s 2.1- integrated 3-

way system concept and when used with Blue Sky’s new BMC, can also offer 

an extremely high performance 5.1 solution for desktop applications.

Thank you for choosing Blue Sky

2.  Important notes about 

ProDesk™ and this 

Owner’s Manual

 

SAT 5 High Pass Filter Switch –

The SAT 5 includes a user selectable High Pass fi lter network.  This fi lter network 

can be switched “IN” or “OUT” of circuit.  When the SAT 5 is used in a 2.1 

system confi guration, with the SUB 8, this switch must be in the “IN”  position.   

If the SAT 5 is used with the SUB 12 or the Blue Sky BMC, this switch must be 

in the “OUT” position.  This is because the SUB 8, which is part of ProDesk™ 

does not include the High Pass Filter networks, which are included as part of 

the SUB 12 and the Blue Sky BMC.

SUB 8 Left and Right Channel Outputs –

The SUB 8 is not compatible with the Blue Sky SAT 6.5.  This is because the SUB 

8 does not include the requisite 80Hz High Pass fi lter networks for the Left and 

Right channel outputs.  These High Pass fi lters are included in the SAT 5  and 

therefore the lack of fi lters in the SUB 8 does not represent a problem when 

the SUB 8 and SAT 5 are used together.

Applications addressed in this manual –

This manual is for 2.1 system setup only.  If you are using the ProDesk system in 

a 5.1 channel setup please follow the directions and instruction provided with 

the Blue Sky Bass-Management Controller.  For more information on the BMC,
