A compact home studio monitor system

The Epic 5 is a compact, dual-loudspeaker monitor system which has been developed specifically for use in small spaces and at low volumes. In addition to a tweeter and woofer, each speaker also features a passive radiator, which is located on the underside of the device. This monitor system is characterised by a flat, prominent frequency response and a high dynamic range. Produced to a high level of quality, the Epic 5 features a sophisticated design for outstanding directivity. The signal path, which is purely analogue, reproduces the signal directly and without distortion, and all with just minimal noise. This makes the Epic 5 monitor system an excellent choice for professional music productions in smaller home studios.

Sophisticated design for impressive results

All components used in the Epic 5 have been perfectly matched. Each speaker features a 1" tweeter and a 5.25" woofer, and is equipped with a passive radiator on the underside as part of a bass reflex system. The Epic 5 boasts a frequency response range of 45Hz to 38kHz, exhibiting a maximum sound pressure level (SPL) of 109db at 100Hz. Volume settings can be made on the front of the device, and the design of the Epic 5 is geared towards achieving a balanced transient and decay response over the entire band width. Two control dials are located at the back of the speakers, which allow adjustment to the acoustics of the room by amplifying or reducing frequencies at 250Hz and 2.5kHz respectively by up to 5dB in increments of 1dB. A balanced XLR socket and an unbalanced cinch socket provide the connection to a signal source.

The perfect choice for small studios

The Epic 5 is ideal for all music producers who have a small recording studio and are looking for a monitor system that will provide high-quality sound reproduction, an astounding frequency response, and a high dynamic range. These characteristics are not only attributable to the purely analogue signal path but also to the specialised production of all individual components developed specifically by the manufacturer for these speakers. In addition, the mechanically aligned timing of the wave fronts guarantees correct oscillation in phase, resulting in an audible improvement in sound quality. The Epic 5 comes in a sturdy transport box, allowing it to be safely transported from studio to studio or taken to mobile production sets.

About reProducer Audio Labs

reProducer Audio Labs was founded in Germany in 2016. The company’s primary area of focus is on developing sonically uncompromising professional studio monitors, with a technical design which aims to achieve the flattest and widest possible frequency response, a rapid transient response, a high dynamic range, and low levels of sound distortion, combined with low inherent noise. The passive radiators included in these models ensure an extended low-end frequency response. In addition to the branch in Germany, reProducer Audio Labs also has offices in the United States and Korea.

Flexible setup for the perfect studio sound

Both monitors are made from aluminium and medium-density fibreboard. Acoustic isolation of the two speakers is provided by eight aluminium feet and twelve silicone pads, all of which are included in the scope of delivery. Any number of feet can be screw mounted to the underside of the two speakers, however, the use of just three feet should reliably prevent the speakers from wobbling. For the perfect response, the two monitors should be arranged at a distance of 0.8m to 1.4m apart and equidistant from the listener to form a stereo triangle. A setup angle of 30° is recommended here.

Après 2 mois d'utilisation, je me fais un devoir de rédiger un commentaire sur les Epic 5.

La première chose qui m'a fait m'intéresser à ces enceintes c'est quand j'ai lu : "spécialement conçu pour les petites pièces et l'écoute à faible volume". En effet je cherchais une paire de moniteurs haut de gamme à placer dans une chambre de 12 m², en appartement. Le design aussi m'a interpellé ; il ressemble à la forme des cabines de mixages des grands studios, c'est à dire les murs, planchers et plafonds non parallèles. Enfin j'ai été sensible à la conception entièrement analogique, sans DSP. Pour moi cela soulignait la volonté d'obtenir une restitution sonore la plus pure et propre possible.

En 20 ans d'expérience j'ai eu des Yamaha MSP5, Fostex PM2, Eris E8 (sans puis avec caisson), et Rega Naos (Hi-Fi). Pour la première fois je dispose d'enceintes qui me permettent de travailler avec tout le confort et toute la précision nécessaire au mixage. Je suis en totale confiance. Je les ai placées sur des pieds Gravity SP 3202 (que je recommande).

Hormis les graves (je dirais sous les 80 Hz), on distingue précisément tout : timbre, spatialisation, dynamique, égalisation, relief. Plus besoin de casque pour avoir les détails, même à faible volume. Le son est tout simplement vivant, présent, limpide. Et malgré le manque de précision dans les graves (impossible de faire la différence entre 50 Hz et 60 Hz par exemple), on a bien l'énergie de ces fréquences. On ne perds quasiment rien d'un morceau comme Midnight de Coldplay par exemple. C'est difficile à exprimer, mais les graves sont là et c'est bien mieux rendu qu'avec des bass reflex, moins brouillon, plus réaliste. Pour régler les graves j'utilise un casque Clear Professional de chez Focal. En fait pour moi c'est parfait. D'une, mes voisins me haïraient si j'avais des enceintes qui descendaient suffisamment bas (je serais incapable d'ailleurs de travailler en sachant que je gêne), de deux, les défauts de la pièce (même traitée) les rendraient inopérantes dans cette plage de fréquences (sans compter le problème lié au manque de place).

Les médiums sont fabuleux, vraiment, les aigus précis et très doux. Le détail des réverbes est bluffant. On peu travailler des heures sans fatigue. Je voudrais souligner aussi que c'est la première fois que je rencontre des enceintes de monitoring actives qui ne produisent absolument aucun souffle !

Ces enceintes sont tout simplement exceptionnelles. Bravo aux concepteurs. J'aime beaucoup finalement la singularité de leur design qui reflète leurs qualités : surprenantes, sobres, affûtées.
Cerise sur le gâteau : la mallette fournie pour les emporter en voyage !
