Eve Audio EXO 25

The EVE Audio EXO 25 is an active 2-way studio monitor designed for professional near-field monitoring, music production, mixing, mastering, post-production, and immersive audio. Featuring a 5" CAL woofer, Precision AirMotion Tweeter, GDC Waveguide, and 280 watts of total amplifier power, the EXO 25 delivers a frequency response ranging from 44 Hz to 24 kHz. As a result, this monitor combines a compact size with solid bass reproduction and sufficient sound pressure for professional studios and production spaces.

The EXO series represents a new monitor platform within the EVE Audio lineup. The EXO 25 combines newly developed drivers with a Low Diffraction Enclosure, internal DSP, digital and analog connections, an OLED display, and Ethernet connectivity. Using the free EVE Origin software, one or more EXO monitors can be centrally configured and managed.

Thanks to its controlled dispersion, the EXO 25 is suitable not only for stereo monitoring but also for multichannel and immersive applications such as Dolby Atmos. Four M6 mounting points on the bottom allow for installation on compatible wall and ceiling brackets.

Precision AirMotion Tweeter with GDC Waveguide
For high frequencies, the EXO 25 uses the Precision AirMotion Tweeter, or PAMT for short. The lightweight polyamide diaphragm is designed for fast transient response, high efficiency, and low distortion. In front of the tweeter is the GDC Waveguide, where GDC stands for Guided Directivity Control. The waveguide determines the dispersion of the high frequencies and ensures a wide and even listening area. This keeps the stereo image stable and allows for precise assessment of the placement of individual elements in a mix. Controlled dispersion is also important in larger multichannel and Dolby Atmos systems. When multiple speakers are placed around the listening position, consistent dispersion helps maintain a smooth transition between the different channels.

5" CAL Woofer
The EXO 25 features a 5" woofer with aCAL (Coated Aluminum) diaphragm. The lightweight aluminum cone is equipped with a resonance-damped fabric surround and is combined with a newly developed magnet system. In addition, EVE Audio employs the Air Stream Optimized Voice Coil Design. In this design, the construction around the voice coil is optimized for controlled airflow and stable driver operation. The 5" woofer gives the EXO 25 a frequency range that extends down to 44 Hz at -3 dB. This allows the monitor to reproduce a large portion of the low-frequency range on its own without requiring a subwoofer for every application. For productions where the low-frequency range needs to be extended further, the EXO 25 can be paired with a compatible EVE Audio subwoofer.

Free EVE Origin software
The EVE Audio EXO series works with EVE Origin, EVE Audio’s free monitor control software. The EXO monitors connect to the same network as the computer via the Ethernet port. EVE Origin then recognizes the available monitors and consolidates the settings into a single interface. With EVE Origin, you can adjust the settings of each monitor from your listening position. This eliminates the need to walk to the back of each monitor for every change and makes it easier to precisely calibrate an entire monitor system. The software provides access to monitor settings, Smart Filters, channel levels, and a comprehensive 8-band EQ. This allows for more precise adjustments than can be achieved using only the basic filters on the monitor itself.

Within EVE Origin, different monitor configurations can be saved as scenes. This allows you to save settings for different projects, listening positions, rooms, or workflows and recall them later. This is also useful for larger multichannel and immersive installations. Instead of configuring each speaker individually, multiple EXO monitors can be managed from a single central interface. EVE Origin was developed specifically for the EXO series and serves as the software platform upon which EVE Audio is further expanding the monitor system.

Future Room Measurement Module:
EVE Origin will be further expanded in the future with a Room Measurement module. This will not only turn Origin into an environment for monitor control and manual corrections, but will also give the platform a greater role in measuring and optimizing an entire monitor system within the listening room. This makes the EXO series’ network functionality crucial for future expansions. Monitor settings, system management, EQ, scenes, and future room correction features can thus be brought together within the same EVE Audio ecosystem. EVE Origin is available free of charge for the EVE Audio EXO series.

280-watt amplifier power
The EXO 25 features separate amplification for the woofer and tweeter. Both the 5" woofer and the Precision AirMotion Tweeter are driven by a 140-watt amplifier. This brings the total amplifier power to 280 watts per monitor. The maximum SPL is 110 dB in full-space and 116 dB in half-space, measured above 100 Hz. As a result, the EXO 25 offers sufficient headroom for evaluating dynamic productions without the monitor having to operate at its limits. The crossover frequency between the woofer and tweeter is 2.2 kHz. Drivers, amplification, crossover, DSP, and protection are all tuned to work together as a single monitor system.

Low Diffraction Enclosure (
) The EXO 25’s enclosure was developed as part of the acoustic design. EVE Audio uses an LDE (Low Diffraction Enclosure) for this purpose. The smooth shape and rounded edges of the cabinet minimize diffraction as sound travels along the speaker’s edges. As a result, unwanted reflections around the enclosure have less impact on the direct sound from the drivers. This contributes to a clear stereo image and precise sound placement within the mix. Optimized bass reflex ports are located on the rear panel. The shape and airflow are tuned to further extend the low end, while minimizing airflow noise from the ports as much as possible.

DSP and Room Adaptation
The EVE Audio EXO 25 features internal DSP that allows the sound reproduction to be adjusted to the monitor’s placement and the room’s acoustics. A monitor placed close to a wall responds acoustically differently than one positioned further into the room. A large desk or mixing console can also affect certain frequencies. The integrated filters allow the response to be adjusted accordingly. The Low Shelf operates below 300 Hz and has a setting range of -5 dB to +3 dB. The Desk Filter Cut around 550 Hz can be set to as low as -5 dB. In addition, there is a Mid EQ around 3.2 kHz with a range of -3 dB to +3 dB and a High Shelf above 3 kHz with a range of -5 dB to +3 dB. The output level is adjustable from -∞ to +10 dB. Settings can be adjusted directly on the monitor or managed centrally via EVE Origin.

OLED Display and SMART Control Knob
The rear of the EXO 25 features an OLED display and a SMARTControl Knob. These allow you to view and adjust the most important monitor settings directly on the speaker. The controls provide access to, among other things, the output level, room adaptation filters, and input source. This ensures that the EXO 25 remains fully functional even without EVE Origin. The software serves as an extension for centralized control and more advanced configuration, but is not required to use the monitor.

Status Indication via the EVE Audio Logo
The illuminated EVE Audio logo on the front serves not only a visual function but also acts as a status indicator. The multicolored LED can indicate eight different system statuses, including signal overload and the progress of a firmware update. During normal use, the logo glows warm white. The brightness can be continuously adjusted from 0 to 100%, allowing the lighting to be adapted to, for example, a dark studio or post-production room.

Analog XLR and RCA Inputs
Foranalog audio, the EXO 25 features a balancedXLR input and an unbalancedRCA input. This allows the monitor to be connected directly to, among other things, an audio interface, monitor controller, mixing console, or other audio source with a line-level output. Different input levels can be used for the analog input. This enables integration with professional +4 dBu equipment and other line-level sources.

Digital S/PDIF Connection In addition to analog audio, the EXO 25 also supports a digital S/PDIF connection. The coaxial S/PDIF input and output support digital audio up to 24-bit/96 kHz. For each monitor, you can select the left S/PDIF channel, the right channel, or mono. This allows a digital stereo signal to be transmitted and assigned to the correct channel for each speaker.

Ethernet for EVE Origin and firmware
The EXO 25’s LAN port is used for network communication with EVE Origin and for system functions such as firmware updates. The IP address can be assigned automatically via DHCP or set manually. This allows the monitor to be integrated into both a simple studio setup and a more extensive existing network.

Wake-on-Signal and Wake-on-LAN
The EXO 25 supports Wake-on-Signal. When this feature is enabled, the monitor can automatically wake up from standby as soon as an audio signal is detected. In addition, Wake-on-LAN is supported, allowing the monitor to be activated via the network connection.

Automatic Standby
For studios where the monitors are not used for extended periods, the EXO 25 features a configurable automatic standby function. The standby delay can be set to 15, 30, or 60 minutes. The automatic standby feature can also be completely disabled. In standby mode, the EXO 25 consumes less than 1 watt. Power consumption when the monitor is active but not playing an audio signal is 7 watts.

For stereo, multichannel, and Dolby Atmos-
The EXO 25 is designed as a near-field studio monitor, but the combination of its compact size, high maximum SPL, and controlled dispersion also makes this model suitable for larger monitor setups. In a stereo setup, the EXO 25 can be used as the left and right main monitors. In surround and immersive systems, the same model can be used for multiple positions around the listener. For Dolby Atmos setups, the mounting features are also important. On the bottom of the EXO 25 are four M6 screw holes with a mounting pattern of 50.8 x 107.9 mm. This pattern is compatible with the K&M 24352 and K&M 24354, among others. As a result, the EXO 25 can not only be placed on studio furniture or a monitor stand but also integrated into permanent wall and ceiling installations.

Compact size with extended low-frequency response
With dimensions of 19.5 x 28.4 x 23 cm, the EXO 25 remains compact enough for placement on a studio cabinet or monitor stand. Each monitor weighs 5.35 kg. Compared to smaller monitors, the 5" woofer offers extended low-frequency response, while the size remains suitable for near-field use. The combination of a low-frequency response down to 44 Hz, 280 watts of amplifier power, and a maximum SPL of 110 dB full-space makes the EXO 25 ideal for studios looking for a compact monitor without having to step up to a larger size.
