OS Acoustics DB7 – 2-Way Active Studio Monitor
The O.S Acoustics DB7 are highly accurate reference studio monitors. Provides exceptional frequency response and coherence in the time domain. Ultra-rigid, high-fidelity drivers operate in a “piston motion” across the entire operating frequency range, reducing distortion and preserving harmonic purity.
Powered by the best Class-D amplifiers on the market, with unparalleled sonic performance and massive power reserves, the DB7 delivers breathtaking performance that is clean, dynamic, open and articulate.

The DB7 was designed with the philosophy “The whole is greater than the sum of its parts”. By using the best components available with painstaking engineering and refinement, we have created something very special. The result is a true reference monitor, with a highly linear frequency response and an advanced phase correction algorithm for natural time coherence, for absolute clarity and true-to-life stereo imaging. The DB7 is perfect for any audio work requiring a high degree of accuracy, including mixing, mastering, broadcasting, film, TV and any other application where absolute reference is required.
Ceramic-coated magnesium is an almost perfect tweeter diaphragm material, damping unwanted resonances with a very low moving mass of only 0.2 grams. Powered by a 150W RMS amplifier gives an incredibly fast, highly accurate and well controlled impulse. Transient response is further enhanced by accurately matching time to the phase response of the overall system, compensating for the minimum phase response of the drivers, enhancing natural timbre, restoring time coherence and reducing listening fatigue.
The cabinet has been subjected to meticulous study in Comsol multiphysics leading Finite Element Analysis software. A complex latticework of bracing has significantly reduced cabinet resonances, more than halving front plate vibrations. The low-frequency driver is held rigid by substantial bracing struts across four of its axes, stopping any twisting or rocking motion, revealing more subtle nuances and even more micro-dynamics. The cabinets are highly repeatable, cut to very fine tolerances with computerized numerical control. Finished in a beautifully veneered black oak.
The built-in DSP module offers a selection of 8 presets. Choose from critical flat or voiced, each with the option to enable or disable the FIR phase correction filter. Finally, for smaller rooms, you can also choose to apply the same presets with a small room boundary correction, which counteracts the effects of local boundary gains in the low frequencies.
The class-D T-Pro2 amplifier module offers unparalleled audiophile specifications, incredible power reserves and a high damping factor that provides fast, tight control of dynamics and bass transients. Configured to meet ErP (1275/2008/EC) and Energy Star guidelines, using less than 0.5 watts in standby mode. Intelligent standby signal processing in the DSP activates standby mode when no signal is detected for a period of 15 minutes. When activated, the amplifier’s power consumption is typically reduced to 0.2 watts. The amplifier automatically exits standby mode as soon as a signal is detected again, and typically wakes up within 660 milliseconds without the audible pops and clicks inherent in other designs.
Take your monitoring experience to a whole new level and get closer to performance with the OS Acoustics DB7.
