Know before you buy
Yes, the Core 59 is versatile enough to function in both near-field and mid-field setups, making it a flexible choice for various studio room sizes and listening distances.
No, the Core 59 is an active monitor, meaning the amplification is built directly into the cabinet. You only need to connect your audio source to the analog or digital inputs.
It features both analog XLR and digital AES/EBU XLR inputs, allowing you to integrate it into a wide range of professional studio signal chains.
Each unit measures 11 inches wide, 15 inches deep, and 21.7 inches high. Given that each speaker weighs over 54 pounds, ensure your stands or console bridge are rated to support the weight securely.
The monitor covers a frequency range of 38 Hz to 24 kHz. This provides a deep, accurate low-end response that is sufficient for most critical mixing tasks without requiring an immediate subwoofer.
Absolutely. With a maximum SPL of 112 dB, the Core 59 is designed to handle demanding professional environments while maintaining clarity and detail even at higher output levels.
