Pro2A Operations Manual
It all started with speakers. Ocean Way Recording began in 1968, as a showcase for
Allen’s custom monitors.
Allen needed impressive sounding material for his speakers so he began to record music
that sounded dramatic! The studio business boomed and he met the demand with many
rooms in several locations.At the peak of the studio business, Allen designed and owned
four recording studio complexes.
Five time Grammy® Award winning Allen Sides has personally recorded over 1,000
albums, many of which have become audiophile classics. He has worked with the finest
and most famous artists of the last four decades. Albums recorded in Allen’s studios have
sold over a billion copies. Allen’s hearing capabilities enables our engineers to translate
every sonic nuance, bringing a new dimension and understanding to what is possible in
high-end speaker design. His ears are our final design tool.

Pro2Ais the latest addition to the OWAspeaker line achieving efficient distortion-free dynamic range in an
aesthetically appealing trapezoidal profile. Its cabinet features a sleek design with attention to time
alignment, reduce baffle reflections and materials designed to minimize low frequency resonance. Its port
is optimized to increase the woofer's low frequency extension and sound pressure level capacity.
Pro2A’s HF driver is a high definition silk fabric dome design with excellent mechanical linearity. The LF
driver is geometrically reinforced aluminum cone with a vented cast aluminum chassis yielding optimum
strength and “high-power linearity”. Combined with the cabinet, the system offers minimal reflection, high
resolution and low listening fatigue over the entire audio spectrum.
Our two-way, self-powered design delivers outstanding performance allowing for flexibility of placement in
the room with a uniform frequency response of 35Hz to 25kHz, and 110 dB maximum SPL between
channels. Its overload protection circuitry ensure that drivers and amplifiers are protected, providing long
term system reliability. The speaker allows the professional to hear great detail with a natural, open and
accurately image. The Pro2Astands well above competitive monitor speakers in its price range.
