Ex Machina Quasar MK1 Pair w/ Upgraded MK2 Crossovers (Used)
Upgraded with Mk2 crossovers and factory-installed rear panel holes for improved ventilation. In excellent condition with only minor signs of use, including some light scuffs on base and sides. Otherwise very clean. Working perfectly, newly serviced by Ex Machina. Includes 3 months warranty.
MK2 Crossover Upgrade:
The penultimate studio monitor in our range, Quasar provides the same flawless imaging, time coherence, detail, and accuracy of its smaller sibling Pulsar, just with even more output and extension from its second subwoofer. The axisymmetric “sub-coax-sub” arrangement also provides an even more coherent hemispherical wavefront, for superior integration at all frequencies, and at any distance or angle within the 90×90 conical coverage.
Each loudspeaker now features a 7 dedicated 5th generation SHARC+ DSP, providing 4x the computing power of our previous generation, as well as flagship AKM AK4493 and AK5572 based discrete conversion. As the final step in production, a unique, serial number specific measurement and calibration is applied to each loudspeaker, linearizing the frequency response to +/- 1db, and the phase response to +/- 15° across the entire specified range. This in turn means that any two speakers of a given model will always act as a matched pair. Finally, the newly available compute headroom has allowed us to improve the precision of our calibration code to a point where our loudspeakers can accurately reproduce square wave and single cycle impulses, even at the crossovers.
