Ex Machina Soundworks Pulsar MKII 3-way 8-inch Active Studio Monitors - Pair

Enter a New Frontier of Speaker Design Technology!

Ex Machina Soundworks studio monitors are designed, built, and calibrated by a dedicated team of passionate audio enthusiasts in Brooklyn, NY, with the goal of going beyond the status quo and providing an incredibly accurate critical listening experience that fosters a deeper connection between the music and the musicians. Ex Machina Soundworks uses recent developments in circuit design, materials research, and DSP to expand the frontiers of speaker technology. Their entire line of monitors is driven by high-efficiency Hypex Ncore amplifiers, and they feature mid- and high-frequency drivers in a cutting-edge coaxial configuration. Pulsar MKII monitors also come equipped with powerful yet compact subwoofers that are both accurate and loud enough to serve as “client killers” when it comes time to wow!

Sealed cabinet delivers punchy and accurate sound

Ex Machina Soundworks houses all their monitors in sealed, highly braced cabinets constructed from Valchromat. This innovative wood fiber panel uses a special binding resin for enhanced rigidity, yielding a cabinet that is more acoustically inert than MDF or plywood enclosures. In combination with Ex Machina Soundworks’ clever design, this material mitigates the group delay and turbulence present in many traditional ported monitors.

SHARC-powered DSP for digital crossover and calibration

Every Ex Machina Soundworks monitor is outfitted with an individual SHARC processor, the industry standard for premium-quality DSP. Ex Machina Soundworks leverages the power of SHARC DSP for their ultra-precise digital crossovers, protection limiters, and proprietary phase and magnitude calibration technology. To ensure a pristine AD/DA path, Ex Machina Soundworks chooses high-performance AKM Velvet Sound converters, the same converters found in many top-tier audio interfaces carried at Sweetwater.
