Core 47 (single)

Studio professionals need to trust the monitors they use every day. They need to know recordings will sound the same at 10pm as it did at 10am. And they need to know that they don’t need to worry about listener fatigue. Most of all, they need to be secure in the knowledge that they’re hearing everything that was recorded – warts and all – so they can make the best mixing decisions.

Trust is something that’s earned in this industry and Core 47 is ready to earn yours by giving you the most accurate reproduction that the latest technology and more than 40 years of expertise can provide. And when we say ‘accurate’, we really mean it: all Core monitors are calibrated to within a reference of 0.2dB at our factory in Denmark. You can install 100 and they’ll all perform to the same high standard.

Core 47 is the mid-size model of our flagship professional reference monitor series. Our engineers codenamed it ‘Bulldog’. You’ll know why when you fire it up.

This compact three-way monitor features an eyebrow-raising 500W + 500W + 150W of Class-D power from Pascal amplification, as well as sophisticated digital signal processing and a flat bass response down to 44Hz at -3dB, and 37Hz at -6dB with a gentle roll-off. And it reaches all the way up to 31kHz – never let it be said monitoring can’t give you a real high.

Placement options – we’ve left nothing to chance:

We’ve made sure Core 47’s cabinet is stiff and inert, so all the vibration energy goes where it’s supposed to. That’s why we’ve given it a super-thick 44mm bezel, which contributes to its excellent linearity across the spectrum and means you can place it anywhere for a wide range of uses. We call them left and right, but you can use them tweeters-in or tweeters-out depending on your room and positioning. As with all Core speakers, we’ve put versatility high on our priority list.

Since every application is unique and monitors need to be placed in a variety of environments – either on their sides, vertically or sometimes even inverted with the woofer above the tweeter – we’ve designed Core 47 with indentations on all four sides. We’ve even developed special isolation pads that can be placed in order to protect the cabinet’s finish and halt vibrations from the mounting surface.

That goes for multi-channel set-ups, too: we’ve also designed special brackets have to mount Core 47 in orientations suitable for surround sound, immersive audio and other custom configurations.

Designed for every type of studio:

As the global success of our LYD 48 series has shown, there’s great demand for compact three-way studio monitors. Rooms might be getting smaller, but we all remember how it was mixing on big three-way mains…

Core 47 is designed for maximum flexibility and performance where its compact size and superb midrange detail are desirable. This includes music recording studios, TV dub stages, edit suites, broadcast trucks, ADR facilities, and game authoring suites. It also makes an excellent surround monitor in broadcast and theatrical dub stages – including multi-channel immersive-audio rooms and custom installations.
