Ex Machina Ganymede (Pair)

EX MACHINA GANYMEDE ACTIVE STUDIO MONITOR

Ganymede is Ex Machina´s first dedicated near-field model. Built from the same core technology and approach as Pulsar and Quasar, it features a brand new, more compact 5.5” coaxial and 7” subwoofer design, but uses all the same advanced geometries, materials, electronics and digital signal processing as its larger siblings. It provides the same level of accuracy, detail, imaging and timing coherence as well, but in a smaller footprint, and with a bit less extension and maximum output potential.

Custom SEAS Titan Series Subwoofer

Low distortion, long stroke design and rigid aluminum diaphragms provide exceptional bass extension and output for a driver this small.

Coaxial Midrange/Tweeter

Bleeding edge Composite Sound Metamodal TeXtreme diaphragms: ultralight, ultra-stiff carbon fabrics with optimized fiber geometries to actively control and suppress resonances.

Mathematically optimal midrange waveguide shape, underhung surround, and optimized point source acoustic center alignment provides superb off-axis response.

FEA optimized, very low distortion ferrite motor design, with a brand new copper shorting sleeve for ultra low inductance.

Electronics

Flagship AKM Velvet Sound AK4493/AK5572 based conversion leaves no sonic footprint.

Hypex Ncore amplifiers provide gobs of squeaky clean, efficient power.

5th gen SHARC+ DSP hardware can crunch many, many numbers at once.
