Dynaudio Core 5 – Compact Reference Monitor for Professionals

Dynaudio Core 5 is a compact yet powerful reference monitor designed for professional applications, offering superior sound quality in small spaces and nearfield listening. Perfect for sound engineers and producers working in small studios, editing rooms, or mobile broadcasting vans, Core 5 provides precise audio reproduction, advanced DSP features, and premium craftsmanship.

Perfect for Any Space

With increasing demand for content production, studios are often constrained by space or require multiple speakers (up to 16 in one room). Core 5 is designed to meet these demands without compromising on audio quality. The nearfield two-way design makes it perfect for both stereo setups and larger surround sound configurations.

Accurate Audio Reproduction

Each Core 5 monitor features two independent Pascal Class-D amplifiers – 280 W for the woofer and 280 W for the tweeter, providing full frequency coverage with exceptional dynamics. Combined with advanced DSP technology, Core 5 delivers flat frequency response from 46 Hz (-6 dB) to 26 kHz (±3 dB). The 5-inch woofer made from MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer) offers an optimal balance of lightness, stiffness, and damping, resulting in highly accurate bass reproduction.

Esotar Pro Tweeter

Core 5 is equipped with a 28 mm Cerotar Pro tweeter, featuring a soft dome and Hexis inner dome to eliminate unwanted resonances. Its frequency range extends up to 30 kHz, ensuring clear and detailed playback, crucial for working with demanding audio recordings.

Adaptability to Different Acoustic Environments

Thanks to the advanced DSP system, Core 5 offers multiple settings to adapt to different room acoustics. Modes like "Desk," "Anechoic," and "Soffit" ensure optimal sound compensation for various placement scenarios. Additionally, three sound balance settings – "Bright," "Neutral," and "Dark" – allow for tonal adjustments according to individual preferences and acoustic needs.

Versatile Inputs and Outputs

Core 5 provides both analog XLR and digital AES3 XLR inputs, as well as BNC word clock I/O. Users can also easily adjust the input sensitivity via dedicated switches, setting signal levels from 0 dBu to +24 dBu for analog inputs.

Flexible Placement Options

The compact size and thoughtful design allow the Core 5 to be placed vertically or horizontally on a desk, stands, or wall mounts. This flexibility makes it a perfect choice for any studio or listening environment.
