2-way standmount speaker
Monitor Audio Studio 89 is a compact, visually striking loudspeaker that delivers uncompromising audio performance. Designed to fill large spaces with impeccable sound quality, it showcases a suite of advanced Monitor Audio technologies and is distinguished by its unique finish. Developed under the Transparent Design Philosophy, like the flagship Hyphn, Studio 89 represents the perfect fusion of innovation and aesthetic appeal. It’s the loudspeaker designed for trailblazers who value both form and function.
Acoustic Excellence
While inspired by the creativity and boldness of the 1980s, Studio 89 embodies cutting-edge technology to meet modern demands. Despite its compact size, it offers a soundstage that is immersive, detailed, and studio-quality. This is achieved through its advanced ‘point source’ MTM (Mid-Tweeter-Mid) Array, which features Monitor Audio's latest MPD III (Micro-Pleated Diaphragm) high-frequency transducer. Positioned between two RDT III (Rigid-Diaphragm Technology) 4 ¼-inch bass-mid drivers, this configuration ensures precise frequency response and symmetry, enabling exceptional sound dispersion. The dual bass-mid driver cones are crafted with three ultra-thin layers for enhanced rigidity and strength. The outer layer is a C-CAM (ceramic-coated aluminum magnesium) skin, while the central core is constructed from Nomex honeycomb material, with the underside featuring woven carbon fiber. This combination results in drivers that are both lightweight and robust. A highly optimized third-order crossover further ensures seamless frequency transitions, utilizing premium components like bespoke polypropylene and polyester capacitors, air-core, and low-loss steel-core inductors to minimize distortion and maximize audio fidelity.
Superior Cabinet Design
The cabinet of Studio 89 is meticulously engineered to complement its acoustic capabilities. With an 18mm front baffle and 15mm rigid side walls, its compact structure is reinforced with strategically placed internal walls for additional bracing. These internal elements guide airflow through HiVe II slot ports at the top and bottom, minimizing turbulence and noise while enhancing sound clarity.
Transparent Design Philosophy
Monitor Audio’s Transparent Design Philosophy ensures a perfect balance between technology and design. The cabinet, drive units, and crossovers function as a unified system, maintaining musical neutrality and acoustic transparency. Studio 89’s sleek yet subtle design allows it to integrate seamlessly into any living space while making a lasting impression.
Exclusive Finish and Stand
Drawing inspiration from the original Studio 15, Studio 89 boasts a high-gloss black finish with gold-accented metal drivers, a look exclusive to this model. Its bespoke stand (sold separately) enhances performance through its laser-cut steel top plate, extruded aluminum pole, and die-cast aluminum base. With adjustable feet, it guarantees stability on any surface, ensuring an optimal listening experience. Studio 89 is the embodiment of Monitor Audio's commitment to excellence, offering an unparalleled combination of aesthetics, engineering, and sound quality.
