Eve Audio EXO 28 Active 2-way Studio Monitor

Description

Main Parameters

The EVE Audio EXO 28 delivers exceptional performance with a wide frequency response of 37 Hz to 24 kHz, a powerful 8-inch woofer, and an impressive maximum SPL of 120 dB (full space). These core specifications underline the EXO 28’s ability to handle demanding professional applications with authority, depth, and precision.

Maximum Control

As the largest monitor in the EXO Series, the EXO 28 is a full-scale 2-way studio monitor designed to deliver the presence and impact of a complete monitoring system. It is the ideal choice for large studios, immersive productions, and high-end mastering environments where absolute accuracy, power, and control are essential. Thanks to its precisely controlled dispersion, the EXO 28 integrates seamlessly into Dolby Atmos and multi-channel setups, while four M6 threaded mounting points on the bottom of the enclosure ensure flexible and secure installation.

Enhanced Acoustic Design

The EXO Series represents a new benchmark in EVE Audio’s acoustic engineering. A newly developed Precision AirMotion Tweeter combined with an advanced GDC Waveguide creates an exceptionally wide sweet spot, pristine high-frequency detail, and outstanding stereo imaging. A deeper, tightly controlled low end and extended frequency response provide the confidence professionals need for critical mixing and mastering decisions.

Precision for Professional Audio

At the heart of the EXO 28 is an acoustically optimized design built for maximum clarity and spatial accuracy. The EXO Precision AMT, crafted from ultra-lightweight polyamide, delivers lightning-fast transient response, high efficiency, and remarkably clean high-frequency reproduction with minimal distortion. The 8-inch CAL woofer (Coated Aluminium) produces ultra-deep bass with exceptional punch and control, supported by a resonance-damped dust cap and refined magnet system for accurate, dynamic playback.

The LDE (Low Diffraction Enclosure) is carefully shaped to minimize edge reflections and preserve spatial detail, while aerodynamically optimized rear bass reflex ports extend low-frequency performance and significantly reduce port noise ideal for critical listening in professional control rooms.

Smarter Monitoring and Workflow

The EXO 28 is designed not only for outstanding sound, but also for intelligent workflow. Features like Wake-on-Signal, integrated Ethernet connectivity, and compatibility with the upcoming EVE Control Software allow precise calibration, remote control, and future firmware updates. This ensures the monitor remains adaptable and future-ready for evolving studio environments.

Seamless Operation at Your Fingertips

A rear-mounted OLED display paired with the SMART Control Knob provides intuitive access to all essential settings, including output level, room adaptation filters, and input selection. Adjustments can be made directly on the monitor without interrupting creative flow, while software integration enables deeper system control when required.

On the front panel, the illuminated EVE Audio logo acts as a multi-color status indicator, displaying system states such as overload protection and firmware activity. In normal operation, it glows a warm white, confirming optimal performance, with adjustable brightness to suit any studio environment.

Features

The EVE Audio EXO 28 is equipped with a comprehensive set of professional features designed to ensure reliability, flexibility, and effortless control in demanding studio environments. An integrated protection limiter safeguards the system during high-level operation, while Wake-on-LAN and Wake-on-Signal functions allow the monitor to power up automatically when a signal or network command is detected.

An adjustable automatic standby mode further enhances energy efficiency, with selectable standby times of 15, 30, or 60 minutes, or the option to disable it entirely. Visual system feedback is provided through a multi-state status LED, capable of displaying up to eight different operating conditions, including signal overload warnings.

User interaction is handled via a rear-mounted OLED display paired with the SMART Control Knob, offering direct access to filters and system settings without the need for external controllers. Adjustable parameters include output volume from –∞ to +10 dB, a high-shelf filter above 3 kHz (–5 dB to +3 dB), mid EQ at 2.2 kHz (–3 dB to +3 dB), a desk filter cut at 400 Hz (–5 dB to 0 dB), and a low-shelf filter below 300 Hz (–5 dB to +3 dB).

Input selection can be switched seamlessly between balanced, unbalanced, and S/PDIF L/R/Mono, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of professional audio sources. The front logo LED brightness is continuously dimmable from 0% to 100%, allowing visual integration into any studio lighting environment.

Connectivity options are equally robust, featuring balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA analog inputs, S/PDIF digital input/output, and a LAN port for Ethernet-based software access and remote control. Network configuration supports both manual and automatic (DHCP) IP addressing, making integration into studio networks straightforward. Despite its powerful performance, the EXO 28 remains energy efficient, consuming less than 1 W in standby, approximately 7 W at idle, and up to 400 W peak power during demanding playback delivering uncompromising performance without sacrificing efficiency or control.
