The ESI single uniK 05+ is a top-tier 2-way bi-amped monitor meticulously crafted to cater to the discerning needs of professional audio engineers and producers who demand nothing short of exceptional sound performance. This monitor is a true masterpiece in the realm of studio equipment, offering a host of features designed to elevate your audio production to new heights.

At its core, the uniK 05+ boasts a formidable 1.9 x 1.0″ low-mass magnetostatic tweeter coupled with a 5″ Kevlar curved-cone woofer. This dynamic duo collaborates to deliver a pristine flat frequency response spanning from 49 Hz to 25 kHz, crowned with an impressive SPL output of 101 dB (peaking at 104 dB). The tweeter’s advanced design, characterized by its minimal moving mass, ensures extended frequency coverage, lightning-fast transient responses, and unrivaled sound resolution. Meanwhile, the woofer’s Kevlar composite cone brings supreme stiffness to the table, enabling precise piston motion and remarkable low-end sound reproduction. A built-in crossover system ensures impeccable phase response and safeguards each driver from overzealous power consumption.

Versatility is a hallmark of the uniK 05+. Whether you’re dealing with balanced or unbalanced signals, this monitor accommodates both with a convenient combo XLR-1/4″ input connector. Amplification duties are expertly handled, with 40W dedicated to the tweeter and another 40W to the woofer.

The rear panel of the enclosure offers a character control knob, granting you the freedom to tailor your sound from smooth to bright. In addition, you have at your fingertips a high-frequency control (10 kHz) and a low-frequency control (100 Hz) to fine-tune your audio to perfection. A dedicated ground lift function ensures audio purity, while the standby mode provides energy-saving convenience. The uniK 05+ even boasts flexible rubber feet, which can be discreetly adjusted in height to decouple the enclosure, mitigate vibrations, and expertly steer sound to its optimal position.

To further enhance its adaptability, this monitor includes a bass port plug, designed for those moments when you need to position the monitor against a wall or in a corner, transforming the open bass reflex into a closed system. For your convenience, a power cord is included with the uniK 05+.
