Know before you buy
A three-way design uses separate drivers for low, mid, and high frequencies, which allows each component to focus on its specific range. This results in significantly clearer midrange reproduction and better overall detail compared to a standard two-way speaker.
Yes, the Core 47 is designed as a compact monitor, making it well-suited for smaller professional environments. Its built-in DSP allows you to adjust the sound profile to compensate for room acoustics, ensuring accuracy even in less-than-ideal spaces.
No, the Core 47 is an active monitor, meaning it has internal Pascal Class D amplification built directly into the cabinet. You only need to connect your audio source via XLR or AES/EBU.
The Core 47 provides a flat frequency response down to 37 Hz. This is deep enough for most critical listening and mixing tasks without requiring a dedicated subwoofer in many studio setups.
The monitor features both analog XLR and digital AES/EBU inputs. Using the digital AES/EBU connection allows you to maintain a purely digital signal path from your interface to the monitor's internal DSP.
The Core 47 is designed to be versatile; it can be positioned either horizontally or vertically to fit your console or desk setup. The rotatable baffle ensures that the midrange and tweeter alignment remains optimal regardless of the orientation.
