The Trumix AR5 uses a bi-amped configuration, meaning it sends separate power to the woofer and the tweeter for more efficient and controlled sound reproduction. The 35-watt amplifier powers the woofer, while the 20-watt amp takes care of the tweeter. This approach reduces distortion and helps maintain a balanced frequency response across the board. With a maximum sound pressure level of 106 decibels, the AR5 provides enough volume for close-up monitoring without losing clarity.
A 5.25-inch woofer made from high-strength fibreglass handles the low and mid frequencies, offering tight, focused bass that works well even in untreated rooms. The 1.48-inch silk dome tweeter covers the top end, bringing out detail in vocals, percussion and synths. Together, they create a monitor that is suitable for detailed editing, mixing and playback across multiple genres.
Every room colours sound in different ways. The AR5 helps counter this by including adjustable high-frequency EQ on the rear panel. You can choose between -2 dB, 0 dB or +2 dB boost or cut above 5 kHz, allowing you to adapt the speaker’s high-end response to your room’s acoustic behaviour. This feature helps avoid overly bright or dull mixes by giving you more control at the source.
A gain control is also provided to help match levels between left and right speakers, especially important if you are working with uneven placement or variable equipment. These features make the AR5 suitable for users who need reliable performance in less-than-perfect acoustic conditions.
The components in the AR5 are carefully chosen to support clear, detailed monitoring. The fibreglass woofer responds quickly to low frequencies, giving punch without boom. The tweeter includes a dedicated waveguide to direct the high-frequency output and improve stereo imaging. This means you can hear more clearly where sounds sit in the mix, making it easier to make decisions about panning, EQ and effects.
The speaker also features a front-firing bass port. This design helps reinforce low frequencies without introducing unwanted reflections from nearby walls, which can be an issue with rear-ported monitors. It makes the AR5 a practical choice for smaller rooms or desktop setups where space is limited.
The AR5 includes three input options, giving you flexibility no matter what audio gear you are using. It features a balanced XLR input for professional setups, a balanced 1/4 inch TRS input for audio interfaces or mixers, and an unbalanced RCA input for use with consumer electronics. All of these are located on the rear panel and use a 20k ohm input impedance to ensure compatibility across a wide range of equipment.
This makes it easy to integrate the AR5 into your studio, DJ booth or creative workspace. You can connect directly from an interface, keyboard, or media player without needing adapters or extra gear. Combined with its compact design and user-friendly controls, the AR5 is built to slot into your workflow with minimal fuss.
