The Ex Machina Quasar mkII is a studio monitor delivering flawless imaging, time coherence, detail, and accuracy akin to its smaller sibling, Pulsar, but with enhanced output and extension thanks to its second subwoofer.
Superior Performance
The axisymmetric “sub-coax-sub” arrangement offers a coherent hemispherical wavefront for superior integration at all frequencies, distances, or angles within the 90×90 conical coverage.
Custom SEAS Extreme Series Subwoofers
The Ex Machina Quasar mkII features low-distortion, long-stroke design subwoofers with rigid aluminium diaphragms, providing immense bass precision and reach. These custom SEAS Extreme Series subwoofers ensure superior low-frequency performance, making them an integral component of the Quasar mkII's sound signature.
Coaxial Midrange/Tweeter
At the heart of the Quasar mkII's midrange and high-frequency performance are bleeding-edge Composite Sound Metamodal TeXtreme diaphragms. These ultralight, ultra-stiff carbon fabrics, with optimised fibre geometries, actively control and suppress resonances. The mathematically optimal midrange waveguide shape, underhung surround, and optimised point source acoustic centre alignment provide superb off-axis response. The state-of-the-art, super-low-distortion neodymium motor design further enhances audio fidelity.
Electronics
The Quasar mkII incorporates flagship AKM Velvet Sound AK4493/AK5572 based conversion, ensuring no sonic footprint is left behind. Hypex Ncore amplifiers deliver clean, efficient power, while the 5th generation SHARC+ DSP hardware processes vast amounts of data quickly, maintaining high fidelity and precision in sound reproduction.
Sealed Valchromat Cabinets
The sealed Valchromat cabinets of the Quasar mkII are stiff, dense, and well-damped, avoiding the chuffing or group delay commonly found in ported designs. This construction ensures a clean, precise sound with minimal distortion.
DSP
A proprietary in-house calibration code completely flattens frequency, phase, and impulse response. This sophisticated DSP ensures the Quasar mkII delivers accurate and consistent performance in any environment.
