That was\n          back in 2016. Today, the company produces multiple loudspeaker and subwoofer models across a variety of form\n          factors, use cases, and price points, but all designed with the same precision-first ethos. Still based in\n          Brooklyn and still proudly independent, Ex Machina is a rare example of a small company making a big impact\n          without compromising on its founding principles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\n  \u003csection class=\"brand-description__row brand-description__row--reverse\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"brand-description__row-inner\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"brand-description__row-media\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/ex_machina_img_2_6c211b00-e2bc-4066-a2e9-e9e0fa4a89ad.jpg?v=1792072096\" alt=\"Antelope Audio\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"brand-description__row-content\"\u003e\n        \u003ch3\u003ePerformance Over Hype\u003c\/h3\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eWe’ll say it again: “Precision.

In contrast, Ex Machina prefers to let their products speak for\n          themselves, putting their focus on designing the most accurate and efficient monitors possible rather than\n          hyping themselves up. But the precision doesn’t end there. Before any product leaves their facilities, it goes\n          through a rigorous quality control check, including acoustic measurements in an anechoic chamber to make sure\n          that it meets their standards.\n        \u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\n  \u003csection class=\"brand-description__row\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"brand-description__row-inner\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"brand-description__row-media\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/ex_machina_img_3_edbc2e43-2ae4-4820-8202-1b0fbca1f325.jpg?v=1792072096\" alt=\"Antelope Audio\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"brand-description__row-content\"\u003e\n        \u003ch3\u003eStellar Sonics for Any Studio\u003c\/h3\u003e\n        \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 1rem;\"\u003eEx Machina’s products are all named after celestial bodies or physical phenomena, and their product range is\n          as diverse as the solar system.

Instead of the usual medium-density fiberboard (MDF) made with harmful glues and\n          formaldehyde, Ex Machina monitors are made of Valchromat®, an FSC-certified material bound with a special\n          resin and colored with organic dyes. The cabinets are constructed so that less than 15% of each sheet is\n          wasted, and they’re treated with Rubio Monocoat®, a plant-based finish that gives off none of the volatile\n          organic compounds (VOC) found in most spray coatings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eUnder the hood, ultra-efficient Hypex Ncore® amplifiers deliver the power these monitors need while producing\n          less waste heat than similar Class A\/B designs, especially when idle.

Even their facilities are sustainably designed using renewable materials and\n          high-insulation construction to minimize heating needs, and a commitment to 100% renewable power sources means\n          Ex Machina monitors have some of the lowest environmental footprints in the industry.\n        \u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #6B6B68; padding-top: 1rem; padding-bottom: 1rem;\"\u003e\n \u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; justify-content: center; align-items: center;\"\u003e\n  \u003ch4 style=\"color: white; font-family: 'playfair display'; font-weight: 400; text-align: center; font-size: 1.3rem;margin-bottom: .0rem;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"I have not been invested this much in the speaker brand since I was a kid”\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"color: white; font-family: 'DM Sans'; text-align: center; font-size: 1rem; margin-top: .4rem;\"\u003e-JUST BLAZE\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"ex-machina-supernova-3-way-active-studio-monitor-pair","title":"Ex Machina Supernova 3-Way Active Studio Monitor - Pair","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eEx Machina Supernova\u003c\/strong\u003e is designed primarily for soffit mounted mains applications in large facilities.

Due to the material's makeup, Ex Machina has been able to create a cone that works perfectly in tandem with a free-standing tweeter, a first in monitor design. While many designers go for aluminum tweeters, the Pulsar employs a material called GrapheneQ, which has a better stiffness to weight ratio that makes for a super-wide sweet spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eSubwoofer\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eFor those essential low end sounds, Ex Machina has teamed with SEAS for an exclusive 22cm subwoofer with large magnets, voice coils and symmetrical suspension. The subwoofer's aluminum alloy diaphragms allow for a 28mm of linear peak to peak excursion and can be pushed to 56mm before being damaged. All of these features add up to the Pulsar being able to push out powerful low frequencies with the speed and accuracy needed to make split second decisions in the studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003ePower and DSP\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn terms of power and processing, the Pulsar comes well equipped.

The resulting monitor offers up more power, more accuracy, more volume, and a deeper low end. Thus, the Quasar has already been adopted everywhere from smaller studios to large rooms, and has been used as everything from a nearfield option up to mains.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eCABINET\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eOne of the most essential elements of Ex Machina's monitors is the cabinet construction that the brand employs. The sealed, highly braced cabinets of the Quasar are built with thick Valchromat, which helps to stop group delay and turbulence. The material is known for being far superior for acoustic enclosures, preferred by many over MDF and plywood.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eCOAXIAL\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe midrange speaker housed in the middle portion of the Quasar is made from an extremely lightweight, yet stiff material called TeXtreme. Due to the material's makeup, Ex Machina has been able to create a cone that works perfectly in tandem with a free-standing tweeter, a first in monitor design. While many designers go for aluminum tweeters, the Quasar employs a material called GrapheneQ, which has a better stiffness to weight ratio that makes for a super-wide sweet spot.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eSUBWOOFER\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile the smaller Pulsar only employs one subwoofer, the Quasar packs two into its slim-yet-tall frame. For these subwoofers, Ex Machina teamed with SEAS for an exclusive 22cm subwoofer with large magnets, voice coils and symmetrical suspension. The subwoofer's aluminum alloy diaphragms allow for a 28mm of linear peak to peak excursion and can be pushed to 56mm before being damaged. If you have clients that love to push out low end, the Quasar is certainly dressed to impress them.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003eAmplification and DSP\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnother way the Quasar improves upon the design of the Pulsar is with more power. The monitor employs Class D amplifiers from Second Generation Hypex Ncore, and nearly doubles up the power by offering 500W RMS Subwoofer, 100W midrange, and 100W RMS tweeter. Ex Machina also uses one SHARC DSP for each loudspeaker to power its digital crossovers and protection limiters, in addition to AKM Velvet Sound converters and a low jitter clock for smooth conversion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3 id=\"toc_4\"\u003eS\/N AND CALIBRATION TAG\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat makes everything inside the Quasar work in harmony?
