Ex Machina Gravity is a dedicated passive studio monitor subwoofer pair explicitly engineered to function as a seamless low-frequency extension for the Ex Machina Terra active monitoring system. Rather than providing a generic bass add-on that requires tuning, Gravity integrates as a mathematically unified 2.2 architecture. It draws power directly from the Terra’s rear-panel amplification and relies exclusively on Terra's internal DSP for system-wide calibration. This closed-loop approach completely eradicates the need for external amplifiers, complex bass management processors, and unpredictable phase-alignment procedures.
Zero-Phase Bass Management
Pairing full-range nearfield monitors with independent subwoofers routinely introduces transient smearing and massive group delay at the crossover region. The Gravity system circumvents these classic acoustic hurdles by employing a zero-phase LR4 digital crossover flawlessly tuned at 80 Hz, calculated natively by the Terra’s onboard DSP. This guarantees a surgically tight, time-aligned low-end response while significantly boosting the overall system headroom up to 112 dB at 1 kHz. Once connected, the combined configuration performs with the effortless authority of massive far-field monitors, extending the linear frequency response down to a tactile 30 Hz (F6 cutoff at 20 Hz).
Side-Firing PuriFi Precision
At the acoustic core of each Gravity cabinet is a premium 10-inch (26cm) PuriFi woofer, a driver renowned for its vanishingly low THD and massive linear excursion capabilities. To minimize room-mode excitation and facilitate placement in dimensionally restricted control rooms, the subwoofers utilize a highly efficient, side-firing enclosure design. This extremely compact 12-inch depth allows for precise nearfield positioning right alongside the Terra monitors, perfectly preserving stereo bass imaging. Furthermore, integrated 200x200 VESA mounting points render the Gravity cabinets fully compatible with heavy-duty on-wall rigging for advanced immersive workflows.
