Know before you buy
The Esotar Pro tweeter utilizes Dynaudio's proprietary Hexis technology, an internal dome that optimizes airflow and eliminates unwanted resonances. This results in exceptionally detailed transients and a smoother high-frequency response that remains fatigue-free during long mixing sessions.
Yes, the Core 7 is designed specifically for compact environments where space is at a premium but audio accuracy is non-negotiable. Its 15.4-inch height and 8.7-inch width allow for flexible placement without sacrificing the low-end performance typically found in larger cabinets.
The integrated DSP allows you to tailor the frequency response to your specific room, compensating for boundary loading or placement near walls. With a 192 kHz sampling rate and 64-bit resolution, these adjustments are precise and maintain the integrity of your audio signal.
With a frequency range extending down to 38 Hz, the Core 7 provides a surprisingly deep and accurate bass response for its size. While a dedicated subwoofer might be necessary for specialized sub-bass tasks, most professional mixing and broadcast applications will find the low-end extension sufficient for critical work.
The monitor features both analog XLR and AES/EBU digital XLR inputs. This allows for a direct digital signal path from your interface or console, bypassing unnecessary A/D/A conversions to ensure the cleanest possible sound.
The Core 7 is a bi-amplified system featuring a 500 W Class D amplifier for the 7-inch woofer and a 150 W Class D amplifier for the tweeter. This high power-to-driver ratio ensures excellent headroom and consistent performance even at higher sound pressure levels.
