Dynaudio Core 59 3-way Powered Studio Monitor

Dynaudio Core 59 3-way Powered Studio Monitors

The Dynaudio Core 59 is the flagship monitor in the company’s high-end professional reference line. This 3-way speaker features advanced Class D amplification, cutting-edge DSP, and a super-inert 32 mm-thick baffle, providing a flat frequency response from 42 Hz to 21 kHz (±3 dB). Dynaudio has long been recognized for their sweet-sounding soft-dome tweeters; their new 1″ Esotar Pro HF driver continues this tradition, giving hours of accurate imaging precision without the listening fatigue that affects many other monitor designs

Core 59 Woofer

Dynaudio’s distinctive 5″ MSP cone midrange covers the important vocal range, allowing you to make confident judgments about voice balances and solo instruments. The Core 59’s 9.5″ long-excursion woofer regulates the bass without compromising tremendous low-frequency extension. Depending on your requirements and control room size, the Core 59’s revolutionary Orbit baffle provides for variable deployment as a nearfield, middle, or main monitor — or even soffit-mounted. Regardless of how you use it, the Dynaudio Core 59 is a serious tool for the discriminating audio professional.

5-inch MSP midrange driver

The Core 59’s 5″ midrange driver provides amazing detail. It employs Dynaudio’s patented MSP (magnesium silicate polymer) cone material, providing an optimal balance of lightweight rigidity and damping. The MSP cone, along with an aluminum voice coil, provides very rapid response and authoritative control because of its neodymium magnet system. With crossover points at 312Hz and 5.1kHz, Core 59 contains more of the crucial vocal range in one driver than previous monitor designs, allowing you to make confident judgments about voice balances, solo instruments, and conversation levels.

Esotar Pro tweeter.

understands that listening fatigue is the bane of any studio engineer’s existence. Once it sets in, you’re done for the day. Dynaudio’s Esotar Pro tweeter has a unique component: the Hexis device, an inner dome that fits directly beneath the diaphragm and improves airflow, smoothes out frequency response, and eliminates unwanted internal resonances. The result is excellent imaging, outstanding transient detail, and smooth extended high-frequency response.

9.5-inch long excursion woofer

The Core 59’s low-frequency driver is the culmination of nearly 18 months of extensive research and development into subwoofer technology, including Dynaudio’s proprietary 18S subwoofer, which stretches bass down to 16Hz. The result of such laborious study is a new copper voice coil and glass-fiber former powered by ceramic magnets and a 500-watt Class D Pascal amplifier. It improves the 9.5″ long-excursion woofer’s bottom-end grip while maintaining a deep frequency response.

The orbital baffle

Dynaudio’s AIR series changed speaker placement by allowing a 3-way speaker to be used in numerous orientations without sacrificing the phase response of the midrange driver and tweeter by utilizing sealed midrange/tweeter assemblies that can be moved within the cabinet. Core 59’s Orbit baffle rotates, allowing you to utilize it in left, right, or center channel orientation. You may even situate the monitor with the woofer above the midrange/tweeter assembly to fit in an LCR array in front of a console.

Flexible positioning

Dynaudio designed the Core 59 cabinet with indentations on all four sides to accept unique Dynaudio pads that preserve the cabinet’s finish and support the speaker on the mounting surface. Core 59 is also compatible with regular VESA mounting brackets and Dynaudio’s bespoke K&M bracket, allowing it to be mounted on a wall or ceiling as part of a multichannel or immersive-format display system like Dolby ATMOS.

Accurate input sensitivity and output SPL calibration.

The noise floor and signal resolution of a monitoring system are crucial to its effectiveness. Whether you use the Core 59’s analog or digital inputs, you must be able to manage the gain staging between the monitor controller and the speaker system. To that purpose, Dynaudio provides a range of 0 dBu to +24 dBu to match the analog input sensitivity to the output level. After optimization, the Core 59 processes all analog data at a 192 kHz sampling rate and 64-bit resolution in the DSP (from the 24-bit A/D converter) to achieve the maximum level of mathematical precision.

Sophisticated, user-friendly DSP

When establishing a monitoring system, placement is crucial. That’s why Dynaudio included the Core 59 with two DSP filter switches to control its position and room boundary locations. The DSP is pretty complicated, but fortunately, it is simple to use. If you install the monitors on the meter bridge of a large-format mixing console, just choose “Desk,” which will assist in correcting the mixing board’s initial reflection. If you put the monitors in a specially designed wall, changing the Position 1 filter to “Soffit” will compensate for the enhanced low-end response.

Unique Sound Balance Filter

You may also utilize DSP to change the overall appearance. The Sound Balance filter varies from the shelving-EQ tweeter and woofer adjustments found on most active monitors. Instead of merely raising or lowering the tweeter level, which affects phase response, the Core 59 uses a full-spectrum bandpass filter that tilts based on the desired tone response. The “Dark” preset tilts the entire frequency response so that 20 kHz is down by 1.5dB and 20 Hz is up +1.5dB. In “Bright” mode, the tilt is reversed. This soft filter retains the drivers’ appropriate phase response while producing the desired overall tone.

An essential tool for the discriminating audio expert.

Dynaudio intended the Core 59 to be utilized in a variety of professional audio production applications, including music mastering, mixing, and recording; theatrical re-mixing; editorial and game sound design; and anyplace an uncompromising critical monitoring system is required. It may be utilized for nearfield, middle, or main surveillance and can even be put on the soffit. It’s ideal for high-SPL immersive audio and other multichannel formats, since it has both analog and digital connections, DSP-controlled acoustic response, and variable placement. Whatever your monitoring requirements, the Dynaudio Core 59 provides precise monitoring accuracy and little listening fatigue. So, no matter how long the session lasts, you’ll get exactly what you hear.
