Emes Quartz - 2-Way Bi-Amped Active Studio Monitors
The EMES QUARTZ is the big version of the KOBALT Nearfield monitor. The second of a new generation 2 way bi-amplified near field Monitor, specially designed to meet the best performance at a reasonable price point. Most available cabinets have flat sheet surfaces, and such speakers have hard times to stick on the location they were placed on, especially when they are pushed hard, manually or by the moving force of the Woofer. No such behaviour occurs with the KOBALTs. The cabinet is standing on the ISO-Rails™ - a special silicon profile - only. So there is no coupling to surface underneath nor is any "slip" action going on, so the low end is always tight at any time.
As always at EMES, matched high quality drivers are chosen, because to us they are the most critical part in a quality Studio Monitor System. The Low range (59 - 2000Hz) is reproduced by a 17cm polypropylene Membrane HDS-driver. A 25mm high efficiency Neodymium Tweeter located in the BI-Port™ is used from 2 - 20 kHz. We at EMES always use identical amplifiers, to have the lowest time related distortion possible. Therefore 2 identical build in 80W rms amplifiers which deliver a powerful and optimized output drive a single QUARTZ Monitor. This is one of the many design criteria's to the EMES audio performance. To adjust the monitor to your personal listening level, a 16 position dip-switch has been added! This allows to control the midrange performance as wel as to adjust the listening level. We ship the QUARTZ as all other EMES monitors as matched pairs.
