Monitor Audio Ltd is a British owned and managed global specialist in hi-fi loudspeaker design. For over 40 years we've been incorporating stereo and surround sound systems and a range of sonically matched architectural speakers for ultra discreet high quality sound around the home and outside.

Our success is not simply a matter of excellent sound quality, although expert listeners around the world will testify to that. It's more about how we deliver the sonic superlatives. By consistently refining and applying our technologies, Monitor Audio has become the world's foremost expert in developing metal dome drivers. Metal is not the easiest material to shape, which is why many of our competitors choose paper or plastic. But it does have amazing properties for more life-like sound reproduction when treated correctly.

In the strength and depth of our ever-evolving product portfolio, Monitor Audio continues to demonstrate the power of a high quality, high performance loudspeaker brand that serves every application, taste and budget - and every possible desire.
