ESI nEar05 eXperience
1. Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the ESI nEar05 eXperience.
The nEar05 eXperience near field reference monitors have been developed especially for high level
home studios and special project studios. They boast an ultra-flat low frequency response and the
top quality Kevlar 5" driver delivers unparalleled punch in the low-mid frequency – a major
improvement over the paper and polypropylene drivers used in most comparable products. nEar05
eXperience also features ESI's cross over control technology that is perfectly optimized and
upgraded to provide the perfect output level and frequency response 100% matching the installed
drivers and cabinet design. Of course nEar05 eXperience is magnetically shielded for desktop
operation next to your other electronic equipment without interference.
2. Basics & Installation

damage. Now check the monitors for signs of damage that might have occurred in shipping. In the
