Dynaudio CORE 7 - pro stück

The Core 7 is a speaker offered by the Dynaudio brand.

Core 7 Highlights

• The Dynaudio Core 7 reproduces what was recorded. Nothing more, nothing less. And you recognize the truth when you hear it.
• Whether you're recording a trio or an orchestra, mixing a commentary or a video game soundtrack, or mastering an immersive audio project (like a Dolby ATMOS mix), you need to be confident that your monitors reproduce everything you need to hear, flaws included.
• The Core 7 was developed in collaboration with industry professionals for this exact purpose. It is the most compact model in the range of high-end professional reference monitoring systems. This uncompromising two-way design includes two class D amplifiers (a 500W amp for the mid/woofer and a 150W amp for the tweeter), the latest DSP technology, and a smooth bass response at 44Hz with -6dB at 38Hz.
• It has been specially designed and manufactured to meet the challenges posed by the most demanding environments where sound engineers, mixers, producers, and editors work every day.
• Acoustic designers constantly improve the speaker design of each model. When they first conducted listening tests on the Core 7, you could truly see the pride on their faces.

Core 7 Key Features

Consistent Performance Without Fatigue

Each speaker is handmade in factories in Denmark. With an annual production of 1.4 million speakers for the home hi-fi, custom installation, car audio, and professional studio markets, they guarantee extreme consistency. This allows the use of Core monitors in multiple studios, maintaining the same sound at the same high volume. They give you everything you need to hear, wherever you use them.

Under the Hood: How to Configure the Core 7 for Your Studio

Dynaudio's active AIR series was renowned for its advanced digital signal processing. Acoustic engineers have continued this pioneering approach by leveraging innovations from the past 18 years in DSP and integrating them into a simple and easy-to-use system with the Core series. Make no mistake: under the hood is a sophisticated system designed to solve problems posed by certain studio environments.

Positioning Optimization

Positioning is crucial when setting up a monitoring system. This is why each Core 7 has two DSP filter switches to adapt to the speaker’s placement and the specificities of each location. For example, if you place the monitors above the VU meters of a large-format mixing console, set them to "Desk." This will compensate for the first reflection created by the console surface. Conversely, if you place the monitors in a purpose-built wall, set the Position 1 filter to "Soffit" to compensate for the increased bass response.

Input Sensitivity at Your Command

The background noise and signal resolution of any monitoring system are crucial to its performance. Whether you use analog or digital inputs, you need to control the gain distribution between the monitor controller and the speaker system. The speaker offers a range from 0 dBu to +24 dBu to match the analog input sensitivity to the output level. Once optimized, the Core 7 processes all analog signals at a 192 kHz sampling rate and 64-bit resolution in the DSP (from the 24-bit analog-to-digital converter) for the highest degree of mathematical accuracy.

Advanced DSP Configuration and AES Channel Selection for Optimal Audio Performance

There is a switch to determine the maximum output sound pressure level with the highest bit depth in the DSP. If you want maximum volume, set it to 112 dB. If you mainly work at lower volumes, choose a lower sound pressure level setting to optimize the DSP bit resolution for both inputs. When using AES digital inputs, you need to determine which channel (left or right) of the AES stream is used for this monitor. The Core 7's DSP operates at the incoming sampling rate and locks onto the audio clock or word clock signal to maintain the most accurate signal possible.

One Speaker, All Types of Studios

The Core 7 is designed to offer maximum flexibility and performance where its compact size is desirable. This includes recording and editing studios, control rooms and mobile installations, dubbing studios, immersive audio mixing rooms, and custom installations. And because its size does not hinder its performance, in terms of frequency response or output sound pressure level, it pairs seamlessly with the Core 59 monitors in calibrated multichannel monitoring systems.

Guess no more. The Core offers everything you need to hear.
