Unmatched Frequency Accuracy
Experience ±1.5 dB frequency accuracy from 40 Hz to 30 kHz, ensuring your audio mixes translate perfectly across various playback systems without compromising fidelity.
KEY FEATURES
The Ex Machina Terra is a high‑precision three‑way coaxial reference monitor that offers ±1.5 dB frequency accuracy from 40 Hz to 30 kHz, maintains ±15° phase coherence, and projects a 90° × 90° conical sound field, all within a rigid aluminium enclosure and powered by integrated Hypex NcoreX amplification.
Overview
Designed for professional studios that demand uncompromising fidelity, the Terra combines classic coaxial engineering with contemporary digital technology. Its pure‑monitoring DSP corrects the speaker itself rather than compensating for room acoustics, while wireless OTA updates keep the system current without service calls.
Core Characteristics
The monitor houses an 18 cm coaxial mid/tweeter paired with an 18 cm PuriFi woofer, creating a seamless point‑source output. Zero‑phase LR4 digital crossovers positioned at 200 Hz and 2 kHz eradicate time‑domain smearing, preserving the integrity of transients. Calibration occurs at the driver level before shipment, and the ADSP‑21569 SHARC+ DSP, aided by an ESP32 co‑processor, manages the signal chain with exacting precision.

Construction & Calibration
The monocoque aluminium chassis is engineered to be acoustically neutral, eliminating resonance and cabinet colouration. Each unit receives individual driver‑level measurement and calibration, guaranteeing perfect time alignment across the entire spectrum. Firmware and calibration data are delivered wirelessly via Wi‑Fi, allowing the monitor to evolve as Ex Machina refines its acoustic models.
Support & Warranty
Ex Machina backs the Terra with a six‑year warranty, continuous OTA firmware upgrades, and dedicated technical support, ensuring long‑term reliability for demanding studio environments.
