Ex Machina Soundworks Ganymede 3-way 7-inch Powered Studio Monitor - Pair

Building off their popular Pulsar model, the Ex Machina Soundworks Ganymede is a more traditional near field monitor. It’s still a 3-way, like the Pulsar and Quasar, just a smaller, sleeker footprint. Deploying 7” LF driver and 5.5” / 1” Coaxial Mid / Tweeter, Ganymede is the perfect for near field applications in smaller rooms or surround compliments in an ATMOS system. As with Ex Machina's other models, Ganymede features custom SEAS drivers with custom designed cutting edge diaphragm materials designed in collaboration with Composite Sound featuring their Metamodal TXTM mid range and tweeter diaphragms, acoustically inert, sealed Valchromat cabinets, Hypex Ncore amps and AKM AK5572EN & AK4493EQ conversion, and dedicated 5th generation SHARC DSP per speaker deploying higher computing headroom and improved proprietary calibration technology. And, like all other Ex Machina monitors, it offers an ultra-wide sweet spot, linear phase and magnitude response, vanishingly low distortion and superb transient response, for effortless clarity and highly detailed insight into your mixes.

DSP & CONVERTERS

Ex Machina's 2nd generation DSP boards feature improvements in every aspect. Flagship discrete AKM AK5572EN and AK4493EQ AD/DA chips and commensurately optimized clocking and analog circuitry improves the S/N ratio to 123 dBa. Dedicated low power AMTEL processors and new power regulation code ensure safe shutdown behavior under a wide range of fault conditions. 5th generation SHARC+ AD21565 DSP’s provide us four times the available computing power.

CALIBRATION CODE AND TEST & MEASUREMENT FACILITIES

Ex Machina have taken full advantage of their newly available computing headroom and brand new multimillion dollar facility (featuring Brooklyn’s only hemi-anechoic chamber) to further improve proprietary calibration algorithms. Same with Pulsar and Quasar the Ganymede can now maintain phase linearity to ±15° all the way down to 20 Hz and ±5° from 80 Hz to 30 kHz, they will cleanly reproduce a square wave even at the crossover frequencies and can even produce single cycle tone bursts (as generated using an Audio Precision 555b Analyzer)
