nEar08 eXperience

Professional 8" Studio Reference Monitors

Intended as sucessor for nEar06, the nEar08 eXperience studio near field reference monitors have been developed to generate a near perfect sonic reproduction in any studio envrionment.

With an extended low frequency response and a top quality Kevlar 8" driver, the award winning nEar08 eXperience delivers unparalleled punch in the low-mid frequency - a major improvement over the paper and polypropylene drivers used in many comparable products. nEar08 eXperience, as the larger sibling of our popular nEar05 eXperience, also provide frequency response adjustment controls, allowing you to tune the sound, specific to the needs inside your studio environment. The monitors are featuring ESI's cross over control technology that is perfectly optimized and upgraded to provide perfect output level and frequency response properly matching the installed drivers and cabinet design. nEar08 eXperience is magnetically shielded for desktop operation next to your other electronic equipment without causing interference.

Please note that nEar08 eXperience is no longer in production and has been replaced by the new and significantly improved aktiv 08.
