Overview

Powerful nearfield monitor made for accurate mixing in tight spaces.

The compact DynAudio Core 5 professional reference monitor provides powerful, precise sound in even the smallest studios. It's a two-way nearfield design with twin Class-D Pascal amplifiers that deliver 280W to the mid/woofer and tweeter, giving you plenty of volume without distortion. The 5" mid/woofer and 1.1" soft dome tweeter are made from proprietary materials that provide unparalleled accuracy so you'll hear every nuance of your mix.

Hear Every Detail

The Core 5's components are designed for pinpoint precision. The mid/woofer uses a proprietary magnesium silicate polymer cone that provides an ideal balance of lightness and stiffness, allowing it to reproduce midrange frequencies with stunning accuracy. The 1.1" soft dome tweeter uses a patented Hexis inner dome to eliminate unwanted resonances, extending high frequency response up to 30kHz so you can hear the natural shimmer of cymbals and subtle textures of stringed instruments.

Tailor the Sound to Your Space

The Core 5's advanced DSP provides multiple filters to optimize its performance for any monitoring environment. Choose between "Desk," "Anechoic," and "Soffit" modes to compensate for reflections from your mixing desk, an open space or wall mounting. Then fine tune using "Free," "Wall," or "Corner" settings. There's also an 80Hz high-pass filter for using the Core 5 with a subwoofer.

Find the Right Level

Whether you use analog or digital connections, precision gain-staging is essential for accurate monitoring. The Core 5 provides switchable analog input sensitivity between 0dBu and +24dBu. For digital sources, choose a maximum output of either 96dB or 79dB SPL to optimize bit depth. There's also a switch to select which AES3 channel feeds the left monitor. With these controls, you'll have clear, balanced sound at any volume level.

Compact Yet Powerful

The Core 5 professional reference monitor puts high-resolution sound within reach of any studio. Its compact size makes it easy to place even in tight spaces, but with 280W powering each component, it delivers impressive volume and an expansive soundstage. For producers and engineers who demand precision, the Core 5 is the ideal compact monitor.
