Overview
Hyphn is unlike anything Monitor Audio, or anyone else, has ever created. A statement of a flagship loudspeaker, conceived and engineered upon an R&D philosophy of maintaining a balance between design and technology, that we call our Transparent Design Philosophy.
Revolutionising what is achievable for high-end home audio, Hyphn features the 3rd generation, Micro Pleated Diaphragm (MPD III) high frequency transducer at the centre of the M-Array. A breakthrough in high- and mid-frequency transducer technology, it provides an acoustic and physical link to the twin bass cabinets that sit either side of it, and contain four force-cancelled 8” bass drivers, capable of delivering impressive levels of tight, impactful bass.
The result of five decades of knowledge and innovation, Hyphn delivers a dramatically enhanced listening experience, with a visually striking presence.

About Monitor Audio
On one level, this is simple to answer: it’s sound that comes as close as possible to what the artist heard in the recording studio. The reality is far more complicated. For starters, anyone who has been in a recording studio will be aware that they don’t always sound fantastic. Sorry to dispel that myth, but it’s just a fact. Monitor Audio loudspeakers sound truthful and natural; they are engineered to reproduce music as the artist intended. A subtle but important difference. At its core, Monitor Audio’s mission is to develop loudspeakers that impose themselves as little as possible. Speakers that let the recording do the talking.
