Unity Audio will be exhibiting its flagship active studio monitors at the this year’s NAMM alongside a range of new monitors for a variety of audio functions.
The sealed cabinet design provides accurate bass reproduction and a tight bottom-end response designed to be one-hundred percent consistent at all listening levels. The system’s Corian front panels provide a rigid, uniform speaker baffle, ensuring all acoustic energy moves forward for a flawless and true sound. AMT Ribbon Tweeters deliver exceptional response and definition, improving imaging and minimising distortion.
“Unity Audio monitoring solutions are designed by the world’s leading authority on audio,” commented Kevin Walker, founder, Unity Audio. “Each Unity monitoring product delivers a pure sound experience that gives engineers like Liam Nolan (Adele, ’25’) and Rik Simpson, Dan Green and Phil Tan (Coldplay, ‘A Head Full of Dreams’) the sonically true reference they want and need for their projects, every time. It’s the ultimate working experience, revealing and honest with absolutely no compromise in accuracy.”
Walker added: “Our remit is accuracy and neutrality. Our custom, sealed enclosure design provides great tonal accuracy and balance with low coloration. Unity’s unique ribbon drivers have an unusually even HF characteristic that is smooth and clean, which in turn provides much greater accuracy and incredibly detailed imaging. To that end, Unity provides a monitoring environment that translates exceptionally well to the real world.” He further states, “A separate cabinet approach to low frequency extension allows for flexibility in system design while remaining a cohesive multiway system. Sound quality and linearity is significantly improved when low end energy and vibrations are decoupled from the higher frequency drivers, resulting in more accurate low mid-range and overall much better definition.”
Also at the show will be the Rock Mk II, a new reference monitor for music studios, post studios and mastering. The Rock Mk II is a two-way nearfield active monitor featuring a seven-inch woofer and 50kHz HF ribbon tweeter for improved image detail. The advanced LF unit features power amps designed by amp guru Tim De Paravicini (EAR).
The Boulder Mk II is for larger studio environments. The three-way mid-field / main active monitor features dual eight-inch woofers and a dual concentric coaxial five-inch mid-range and 50kHz folded ribbon tweeter that is phase coherent over seven octaves. The Boulder is powered by four custom designed discrete class A/B amplifiers.
Delivering the same technical prowess as the Rock Mk II and the Boulder Mk II, the Super Rock is a two-way monitor with an eight-inch LF driver designed for mid-field studio use when more SPL is required. When tracking and mixing, the Super Rock delivers a precise forward image, allowing engineers and artists to hear detail they might not have heard before.
The B.A.B.E. (Boulder Active Bass Extender) cabinet allows the Boulder Mk II to be used as a large mid-field or main system, providing extended bass and greater SPL. The combination creates a four-way system, shifting the LF load to a separate cabinet and amplifiers. This allows the Boulder Mk II monitor to be driven harder, providing a full range system that is louder and has extended bass performance.
Lastly, the Avalanche is aUnity active sub-woofer for the point 1 in 2.1 and 5.1 surround and immersive systems. A 12-inch LF driver dials low frequency performance down to 22Hz and provides sub frequencies for the Rock Mk II and Boulder stereo systems.
