Ex Machina Terra 3-Way Active Reference Monitor (Pair)
The Ex Machina Terra is a precision-engineered 3-way active reference monitor system designed for professional mixing, mastering, and critical listening applications. Built for engineers who demand accuracy and reliable translation, Terra delivers exceptional tonal balance, phase coherence, and imaging stability in both nearfield and midfield environments.
Terra’s three-way coaxial architecture ensures true point-source imaging with an extremely flat frequency response from 40 Hz to 30 kHz (±1.5 dB) and generous ±15° phase coherence across the entire passband. The controlled 90° × 90° conical dispersion creates a wide, stable sweet spot that maintains clarity and precision even when listening off-axis.
The monocoque aluminum cabinet is engineered to be acoustically inert, minimizing resonance and coloration so you hear your mix — not the speaker. Individual driver calibration and zero-phase LR4 digital crossovers deliver precise time alignment and outstanding transient accuracy, while pure monitoring DSP linearizes the loudspeaker itself without applying room correction. Firmware and calibration updates can be applied over the air to ensure long-term performance consistency.
