ESI uniK 08+ Biamp 2-way Professional Active Reference 8″ Studio Monitor (Single)

The ESI single uniK 08+ is a top-tier 2-way bi-amped monitor meticulously engineered for discerning professional audio engineers and producers who demand unparalleled sound fidelity. This monitor boasts a cutting-edge design, featuring a 1.9 x 1.0″ low-mass magnetostatic tweeter and an 8″ Kevlar curved-cone woofer, seamlessly harmonizing to deliver an impressively flat frequency response spanning from 37 Hz to 25 kHz, complemented by a robust SPL output of 105 dB (peaking at 108 dB).

The tweeter exhibits a sophisticated redesign with reduced moving mass, resulting in an extended frequency range, lightning-fast transient response, and pristine sound resolution. Simultaneously, the Kevlar composite cone of the matching woofer ensures exceptional stiffness, facilitating precise piston motion and extraordinary low-frequency sound reproduction. This monitor also integrates a built-in crossover that guarantees precise phase response and safeguards each driver with its power limiting mechanism.

Engineered to accommodate both balanced and unbalanced signals, this monitor comes equipped with a versatile combo XLR-1/4″ input connector. Power is delivered through two potent amplifiers, delivering 70W to the tweeter and an additional 70W to the woofer, ensuring optimal performance.

At the rear of the enclosure, a character control knob offers an array of tonal adjustments ranging from smooth to bright. Further sound sculpting options include high-frequency and low-frequency controls at 10 kHz and 100 Hz, respectively. Additional features include a dedicated ground lift for audio purity, a standby mode for energy efficiency, and adaptable rubber feet that offer discreet height adjustment, reduce vibrations, and precisely direct sound for optimal positioning.

For those specific placement scenarios, the uniK 08+ includes a bass port plug, facilitating the transformation of the open bass reflex system into a closed configuration, ideal for smaller rooms or corner placement. The package also includes a power cord for your convenience.
