With the Aktiv 05 active monitor box, ESI introduces a speaker with very high sound quality and transparency. In its price range, the ESI Aktiv 05 is among the best nearfield monitors. The Aktiv 05 model is designed for use in project studios and features a 1-inch silk dome tweeter and a 5-inch woofer. The output power is 60 watts, covering a frequency range of 50-20,000 Hz. Compared to the successful predecessor model nEar 05, it has a new tweeter, improved suspension, and a completely new crossover (at 2.5 kHz). The combination of the woofer with the matching tweeter and crossover allows the ESI Aktiv 05 to achieve a faithful reproduction of sound.

On the back of the compact and fully magnetically shielded monitor box, there is an XLR and jack combo connection for balanced and unbalanced connections, as well as a control for adjusting the input level.

Note: Only one box included - the box is sold individually, not as a pair.

Technical specifications: Input impedance: 23.3 kOhm balanced, 13.3 kOhm unbalanced. Input sensitivity: 75 mV@1 Watt, 415 mV@30 Watt. Crossover frequency: 2.5 kHz. SPL: 88 dB +/- 3 dB. Power supply: AC 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz, voltage switch 115 V / 230 V.

Delivery includes: 1x ESI Aktiv 05 monitor box.

  • Positiveklanglich gut
  • Positivegelungene Optik und Verarbeitung
  • PositiveWiedergabe von Musik schlechter Qualität erstaunlich gut
  • Negativerelativ lautes Grundrauschen
  • Negativekeine Abschirmung

Für einen fairen Preis erhält man sehr gut verarbeitete und schicke Boxen, die insgesamt einen guten Klang haben. Der Bass spielt detailreich aber für uns etwas zu schwach und auch das Grundrauschen war im Test zu hören auch wenn dies nicht so ausgeprägt war. Preis-Leistung stimmen aber dennoch.
