Dynaudio's State-of-the-art Compact Studio Monitor

Whether you?re recording prog metal or a symphony, scoring a feature film or game soundtrack, or mixing a TV show or Dolby ATMOS project, you need to trust what your studio monitors are telling you. Dynaudio developed the Core 7 to address this need. The most compact model in the Core range of high-end professional reference monitors, the Core 7 features state-of-the-art Class D amplification, cutting-edge DSP, a super-inert 32mm-thick baffle, and flat frequency response from 44Hz to 21kHz (?3dB). Dynaudio?s latest 1" Esotar Pro HF driver provides hours of pinpoint imaging detail without the listening fatigue that plagues many other monitor designs. Their MSP mid/woofer represents another technological leap forward, delivering deep, accurate bass as well as natural midrange detail. You rely on your monitors to tell you the truth about what you?re recording, and the Dynaudio Core 7 does just that, in a versatile compact package that you can use nearfield, midfield, as a main monitor ? or even soffit-mounted.  

Esotar Pro tweeter

We know that listening fatigue is the bane of every studio engineer?s existence. Once it sets in, you?re done working for the day. Dynaudio?s Esotar Pro tweeter features an ingenious component ? the Hexis device, an inner dome that sits just behind the diaphragm and optimizes airflow, smooths out the frequency response, and eliminates undesirable internal resonances. The result is exemplary imaging, superb transient detail, and effortless extended high-frequency response.  

7" MSP mid/woofer

Core 7?s mid/woofer driver represents another technological leap forward. Incorporating Dynaudio?s proprietary MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer) cone material along with an aluminum voice coil, glass-fiber former, and advanced magnet design, the MSP mid/woofer delivers incredible accuracy throughout its frequency range. MSP provides the best combination of lightness, stiffness, and damping ? enabling it to produce tight, deep bass as well as natural midrange detail ? all in a single driver for the best imaging and point source localization.  

Flexible positioning

To account for placement in a variety of environments ? on their sides, vertically, or perhaps even inverted ? Dynaudio gave the Core 7 cabinet indentations on all four sides to accommodate special Dynaudio pads that protect the cabinet?s finish and stabilize the speaker on the mounting surface. Core 7 is also compatible with standard VESA mounting brackets or Dynaudio?s custom K&M bracket should you wish to mount them on a wall or ceiling as part of a multichannel or immersive-format monitor system such as Dolby ATMOS.  

Sophisticated DSP that?s easy to use

When setting up a monitoring system, positioning is critical. That?s why Dynaudio gave the Core 7 two DSP filter switches to address its position and room boundary locations. The DSP is quite sophisticated, but thankfully, it?s easy to use. If you place the monitors on the meter bridge of a large-format mixing console, simply set them to Desk, which will help compensate for the first reflection created by the mixing board. If you mount the monitors in a purpose-built wall, setting the Position 1 filter to Soffit will compensate for the increased low-end response.   You can compensate for the boundary effects created by placing a monitor close to walls or a ceiling by switching the Position 2 filter between Wall or Corner. These filters help compensate for the reflections created by the boundary walls, particularly in the lower frequencies. If you?re using the Core 7 with a subwoofer to extend the low-frequency response, there?s also an 80Hz Linkwitz-Riley highpass filter that can be engaged.
