Overview

Studio 89 takes inspiration from the culturally explosive 1980s and Monitor Audio’s iconic Studio Series, but is a thoroughly modern loudspeaker. Inspired by individual expression and the culture that shapes it, Studio 89 is the loudspeaker for the new change-makers.

Studio 89 is a compact bookshelf model that houses many of the advanced acoustic technologies found in both Platinum Series 3G and Monitor Audio’s statement speaker, Hyphn. Powerful twin 4 ¼” RDT III C-CAM bass-mid drivers provide punchy, articulate and controlled bass that seamlessly blends with the MPD III high-frequency transducer. The sonic package delivers exceptionally lifelike HF clarity and taught MF/LF bass precision for a truly high-fidelity presentation.

Studio 89’s cabinet is finished in a deep high-gloss black paint with gold-coloured drive units. This is a reference to the iconic Studio 15, which was the only model within the original Studio Series available in this stylish combination.

Studio 89 delivers a breathtakingly big sound, from a beautifully finished compact box.

  • 2 x 4 ¼” RDT III, C-CAM bass-mid drivers

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.
