Studio 89 is a thoroughly modern loudspeaker. Inspired by individual expression and the culture that shapes it.
Studio 89's radical design is inspired by the individuality and self-expression that made the 1980s such a culturally significant decade.
The implementation of Monitor Audio's latest cutting-edge acoustic technologies and a beautifully detailed design connect Studio 89 to the artists of today - bringing the sound of the original recording home with more lifelike realism than ever before.
In a nod to the original Studio 15, Studio 89 is resplendent in high-gloss black, with the most technologically advanced metal cone drivers finished in gold. It's the only model Monitor Audio makes that is available in this luxurious finish.
Monitor Audio hold the belief that the ultimate loudspeaker is capable of producing sound as laid down by the artist so accurately that it becomes transparent. The physical design should be sympathetic to this in any environment and work in harmony with the desire for transparency.
The all-new Studio 89 is built upon an R&D philosophy of maintaining a balance between design and technology. One is never allowed to overpower the other and both play a vital role in delivering on our promise of musical neutrality and acoustic transparency. The physical speakers are designed to sit comfortably within their environment. They are a beautiful statement, but one where perfectly balanced design neutrality means they will blend in for a lifetime of use.
Small, compact and visually unique, the all-new Studio 89 is an uncompromising little speaker. It packs an awful lot of acoustic technology into its compact dimensions, and while it is one hundred percent a Monitor Audio speaker, born of our Transparent Design Philosophy, it is as unique in the range as the statement Hyphn.
Featuring the latest acoustic technologies developed for Platinum Series 3G and Hyphn, the compact Studio 89 packs a significant acoustic punch. A streamlined, diminutive speaker that is more Formula One than luxury sports car, its sonic signature is distinctly Monitor Audio, yet with a personality all its own.
