All specifications may be subject to change without notice. Each pair of ML1's are stringently tested and hand tuned.

A mini-monitor loudspeaker, by virtue of its small size, offers many benefits when it comes to accurate sound reproduction - like superb stereo imaging, low colouration and natural vocal reproduction. Typically in competitor loudspeaker models, they have many weaknesses - limited bass output and extension, and restricted power handling - that makes owning them a compromise on your behalf.

With the ML1Reference we have sought to maximise the inherent strengths of the design while all but eliminating its weaknesses. Its ported and braced cabinet, constructed from a composite material, the precisely engineered crossover and premium quality drivers give it a bottom end that will astound you - It'll leave you asking where the sub woofer is?

More importantly, ML1Reference exhibits an utterly neutral and uncoloured sound, with unrivaled transparency and sheer musicality, the ML1Reference has no equal at any price. Owners who have upgraded to the ML1Reference from some of the world's most revered speaker designs tell us just that!


Reference upgrades

The ML1 stand mount loudspeaker can greatly benefit from internal crossover upgrades. From wiring to crossover components, testing and research has provided key component upgrades. These crossover and wiring upgrades help the drivers achieve sonic brilliance and clarity by passing on the cleanest signal from the amplifier.
