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.

Coaxial mid- and high-frequency drivers reduce off-axis coloration

Working in collaboration with renowned loudspeaker developer SEAS, Ex Machina Soundworks created their signature 18cm coaxial mid- and high-frequency drive unit to provide engineers with a super-wide listening sweet spot and a lifelike center image. The midrange range driver is made from TeXtreme, a cutting-edge carbon fiber material that’s lightweight, strong, and stiff, making for the perfect material for shaping a midrange cone into an optimized waveguide for the concentric tweeter. Speaking of which, the tweeter is the first Composite Sound Metamodal TX diaphragm used in a professional loudspeaker; it exhibits a superb transient response and ample detail without a touch of harshness.

Powerful subwoofer with a compact design

A 22cm subwoofer, designed and built by SEAS exclusively for Ex Machina Soundworks, provides the powerful, articulate thump of a large driver in a more compact form. Using large magnets, a highly symmetrical suspension system, and lightweight aluminum alloy diaphragms, this design allows for an impressive 28mm of linear peak to peak excursion and 56mm with no damage — meaning you can push some serious air without sacrificing clarity or threatening a blowout.
