Titan

Titan is our dedicated surround and object based audio solution. Rather than trying to repackage a nearfield monitor for this unique application, Titan was designed from the ground up to serve the needs of modern multipoint formats. Mini, but mighty, with 90×90, true point source coverage angle, ultra rigid extruded aluminum cabinets and our signature Composite Sound Metamodal TX diaphragms, Titan retains all the core Ex Machina DNA, just without the subs. Titan is sold exclusively as a package of four satellites with a mating 2RU amplifier/DSP pack.

Custom SEAS Coaxial Woofer/Tweeter

Bleeding edge Composite Sound Metamodal TeXtreme diaphragms: ultralight, ultra-stiff carbon fabrics with optimized fiber geometries to actively control and suppress resonances.

Mathematically optimal woofer waveguide shape and true point source behavior, for eerily lifelike imaging.

FEA optimized, very low distortion ferrite motor design, with an advanced copper shorting sleeve for very low inductance.

Electronics

Flagship AKM Velvet Sound AK4493/AK5572 based conversion leaves no sonic footprint.

Hypex Ncore amplifiers provide gobs of squeaky clean, efficient power.

5th gen SHARC+ DSP hardware can crunch many, many numbers at once.

Included 4-channel remote AMP/DSP pack takes up only 2RU.

Sealed Extruded Aluminum Cabinets

Ridiculously rigid aluminum extrusion provides arguably the deadest cabinet we have ever offered.

Integral 75x75mm and 100x100mm MIS-D VESA mounting points enable many inexpensive, flexible deployment options.

4-pole SpeakON input allows for remote bi-amping over a single cable.

TESTIMONIALS

It’s the confidence I get from finally being able to trust my own taste that makes these speakers great. Music is a way composers, engineers, and most importantly listeners communicate and it’s done in such a personal way, the most valuable thing you can do for yourself and your audience is to communicate with conviction. Quasars give me that power.

Richie Beretta

Artist, Producer, Engineer
Didn’t realize what I have been missing! After multiple mixes, Pulsars boosted my confidence, I was cranking them out so much faster. It was making mixing so much fun. I submitted some mixes I re-did with Pulsars, and clients were blown away by the differences. I will forever be a proud owner of these.

Joshua Young

Studio Owner, Engineer
If you’re struggling with translation, this will end that battle. The sound staging is insanely hyper accurate. What you hear on these monitors, you will hear on literally any system.

Ryan Harvey

Engineer, Producer
I can hear exactly what I need to do to improve my sound… Quasars are a major tool that help me accomplish this. They are the best thing I’ve bought for my studio in a decade.

Justin Melland

Film Composer
Quasars have become my most valued and crucial piece of equipment. They give me total confidence in knowing how tracking and mixing sessions will translate outside of the room… They provide clarity, transparency, and inspiration.

James Meslin

Recording Engineer, Mixer, Producer
The mid tweet coaxial on these monitors presents a midrange detail like I’ve never heard before. These speakers are far from fatiguing while presenting a pristine midrange and transient response. I’m truly over the moon.

ALEX E

Music Producer, Mixing Engineer
Over the years, I have worked with a number of very good speakers in many studios but the Ex Machina Pulsar takes monitoring to another level. These are truthful tools that you can definitely rely on.

Patrick Derivaz

Bass Player, Composer, Engineer, Producer
Everything translated well and felt balanced, the low end was amazing, I don’t need a sub anymore ! I find that I can work at low volume and hear every detail and also listen loud without fatiguing… The stereo image and center are really defined, I honestly can’t find anything that I don’t like.

Manon Grandjean

Recording, Mixing, Mastering Engineer
The Pulsars have been truly game changing for me. They are super accurate, revealing, and the transient detail is incredible which has made the mixing process much more efficient and allowed for more confident decision making. I couldn’t be more happy with them.
