Core 59 (single)

When you’re working with art – whether it’s someone else’s or your own – you need equipment you can trust. A professional producer or engineer is part of the creative process, and his or her ears are the most trustworthy tools they have. They know what sounds good, and they know that a good reference monitor can help them make a good performance great.

Core 59 – the flagship of our high-end professional reference monitor series – is that monitor. This three-way speaker features uncompromising class-D amplification, cutting-edge digital signal processing, a super-inert 32mm-thick baffle and a flat bass response down to 42Hz with -6dB at 36Hz.

It’s a serious system designed for serious audio professionals. Core 59 has been made for the highest-demand environments that recording engineers, mixers, producers, and editors work in and has been specifically designed to solve many of the monitoring issues that career professionals face every day.

Listen all day (and all night) without fatigue:

Listener fatigue is the thorn in the side of every studio engineer. Once it sets in, you’re done for the day. Core 59’s all-new Esotar Pro tweeter has been created to keep fatigue at bay so you won’t be finished before the mix is.

We’ve long been known for our sweet-sounding soft-dome tweeters. They provide hours of pinpoint imaging and detail without the tiring quality that’s common to other designs. The Esotar Pro builds on this heritage with the ingenious Hexis device. It’s an inner dome that sits just behind the diaphragm and optimises airflow, smooths the frequency response and eliminates unwanted internal resonances. The result is outstanding imaging, transient detail, and effortless high frequency response.

The speaker’s 5in midrange driver provides staggering detail. It uses our proprietary MSP (Magnesium Silicate Polymer) material in its cone for the best combination of lightness, stiffness and damping and, coupled with an aluminium voice-coil, has an incredibly fast response and authoritative control from its neodymium magnet system. With crossover points at 312Hz and 5.1kHz, Core 59 delivers so much more of the critical vocal range in one driver than typical designs, ensuring your mix decisions on vocal balances and dialogue subtleties are made with total confidence.

Features:

• 1″ tweeter, 5″ midrange, 9.5″ woofer
• Class D Pascal tri-amplification: HF 150 watts / MF 500 watts / LF 500 watts
• Front-loaded bass reflex cabinet design
• Frequency response: 42Hz-21kHz @-3dB (36Hz-24kHz @-6dB)
• All drivers handcrafted by Dynaudio in Denmark
• Core DSP optimizes imaging, balance, and bass extension
• Analog and digital inputs
• Sampling rate: 192kHz, resolution: 64-bit; dependent on input signal
• Maximum SPL: 112dB at 1m anechoic, 118dB half space
• Crossover frequencies: 312.5Hz (LF/MF) / 5100Hz (MF/HF)

+ Hand-crafted
Designed, developed, tested and made in Denmark. All the drivers are hand-made at Dynaudio HQ, and each speaker is individually calibrated before it leaves our factory

+ Advanced DSP
Simple to use, but incredibly powerful. Core’s DSP optimises performance for positioning, sound balance and bass extension

+ Power to spare
Each driver has its own dedicated class-D amplifier: 500W each for the woofer and midrange drivers, and a 150W amp for the tweeter. That’s some serious headroom

+ Esotar Pro tweeter
Dynaudio’s already legendary high-frequency driver has been redesigned and re-engineered for high-performance professional use
