uniK 05 are the result of extensive development work done in Germany, to provide a professional active reference monitor that defines a new level of quality in this class. The monitor features a new 5” kevlar low frequency driver and a custom engineered and powerful high frequency ribbon tweeter with an extraordinary light membrane. This provides a very clear, strong and precise sound image especially in the high frequencies. With less moving mass compared to conventional tweeters, a new level of impulse response with minimized distortion is achieved. The optimized matching mechanical design of the uniK 05 cabinet provides a special and truly unique sound characteristic that makes this monitor an important part of your studio setup instantly.

Reviews and Testimonials

Famous DJ and Producer Jean Claude Ades about the use of our uniK 05 in an interview on MusicRadar.com (June 2012): "My absolute favourite speakers are the ESI uniK 05 as they sound absolutely honest."

Tony Platt is well known for his work with AC/DC, Bob Marley, Motörhead and many others. He checked uniK 05 for us:"The uniK 05 is an excellent monitor speaker that will give great results with a wide range of music. I have been using them to cross check mixes for a couple of months and they stand up well against my main system that cost several times the price! Give them a listen and if they sound good to you they can be trusted."
