Dynaudio Acoustics Core 5 Professional 2-Way Reference Studio Monitor (Dark Grey)

• Handcrafted
  • Designed, developed, tested, and made in Denmark. All the drivers are handmade at Dynaudio HQ, and each speaker is individually calibrated before it leaves the factory
• Advanced DSP
  • Core�s DSP optimizes performance for positioning, sound balance, and bass extension
• Power to spare
  • Each driver has its own dedicated Class-D amplifier: 500W for the woofer and a 280W amp for the tweeter
• Cerotar Pro tweeter
  • Legendary high-frequency driver has a precision soft-dome diaphragm in conjunction with a Hexis resonance-defeating inner dome

• Up top you�ll find a 1" Cerotar Pro tweeter. Like all other Core speakers (and all other Dynaudio speakers, for that matter), it uses a precision soft-dome diaphragm in conjunction with a Hexis resonance-defeating inner dome. It�ll play up to 30 kHz, so you�ll get all the detail you need whilst being a relaxed listen. That�s crucial if you�re working a long session
• The 5" woofer digs down to 45 Hz. It�s made from proprietary MSP (magnesium silicate polymer) material, which precisely provides the right combination of lightness, stiffness and damping to produce the kind of accuracy that�ll make your hair stand on end
• Make no mistake: these are revealing speakers. If there�s a problem in your mix, they�ll let you know about it

• Each speaker has two DSP filters to help you compensate for position and boundary locations. If they�re on your desk, there�s a switch labeled Desk, which deals with first-reflections from the mixing surface. Got them on stands or brackets further away? Choose Anechoic. And if they�re in a purpose-built wall, Soffit is your go-to. Then you can drill-down into Free, Wall, or Corner modes to compensate for reflections. There�s also a low-frequency 80 Hz Linkwitz-Riley cutoff for use with a subwoofer.
• You know your room better than anyone, which is why Dynaudio has gone even further to give you Sound Balance options to change Core 5�s overall presentation between Bright, Neutral, and Dark. These are much more than the typical shelving filters found in other brands as they use a full-spectrum bandpass filter that tilts depending on the sound you want. In Dark mode, you�ll get a 1.5 dB decrease at 20 kHz, and a 1.5 dB increase at 40 Hz. Bright swaps to the inverse of that setting. Doing it this way means phase response is maintained between the drivers, which means timing is kept spot-on and your soundstage remains clear.

• Precision is everything, whether you�re using analog or digital inputs. That�s why Dynaudio offers you the option to control the gain staging between the monitor controller and the speakers.
• Using the analog inputs? There�s a dedicated switch to give you between 0 dBu and +24 dBu to set the maximum analog input level for the Core 5.
• You can also set the maximum output SPL with the greatest bit-depth. Set this to 96 dB (reference -20 dBFS) for the peak SPL of 116 dB for the maximum level, or optimize the bit-depth for both inputs for lower-level listening, switching to 79 dB (reference -20 dBFS).
• If you�re in a digital workflow, set which AES3 stream channel is going to the monitor using the Digital channel switch. The DSP will operate at the input sample-rate (with no sample-rate conversion) and can either lock to the digital audio clock or the word clock for ultimate accuracy.
