Harbeth Monitor 20.1 Special Edition Speakers Boxed
Very good overall, just a small bump on one corner.
Here we have a pair of Monitor Speakers from British company Harbeth Audio. The Monitor 20.1 is essentially the professional version of the P3ESR and shares most, if not all, of the specifications of that model. Our examples are in very good condition, and come supplied in original factory packaging along with grilles, manual and our standard three month warranty, Harbeth Audio Said…. Since 1977, when Harbeth was founded by the senior ex-BBC audio engineer, Harbeth has pioneered advanced loudspeaker technology, first with polypropylene and now in the digital era with RADIAL™. Engineered around Harbeth’s British Patent 2269511, Harbeth’s professional monitors satisfy the most critical users demand for high resolution, natural easy sound, and reveal low-level detail in compressed (MPEG) audio that is inaudible on conventional speakers. The Mastering Series provides a frame of reference to the sound professional in: Sound/vision galleries On/off line editing and dubbing Outside Broadcast and audio/video workstations Technical Quality Assessment and control Users familiar with ‘the BBC sound’ will be instantly at home with these monitors and their natural ‘family’ sound, so that projects commenced on the miniature Monitor 20’s can be confidently finished on Monitor 30’s or 40’s and vice versa. The clear advantage of Harbeth’s technology is vividly demonstrated in today’s ‘workstation office’, where modest acoustic isolation and high ambient noise levels require the high definition ‘BBC sound’ at all listening levels. Magnetic shielding permits positioning right next to colour picture monitors. Designed by Alan Shaw for a consistent Harbeth sound balance throughout the range, the Mastering Series philosophy enables any combination of Monitor 20, 30 or 40 to be integrated into two channel stereo through five+ channel Dolby Digital (AC3) monitoring solutions, all with a smooth, involving uniform sound. For critical listening, nothing out-performs Harbeth’s patented technology. Well known in sound and vision galleries, digital workstations and OB’s, the Monitor 20 offers a remarkably full scale sound that belies its extremely compact dimensions. Magnetically shielded, the 20’s can be sited immediately adjacent to TV monitors: ideal for nearfield monitoring in desktop sound and video editing. The two-way sealed box has a skilfully contoured bass response for a solid impression of bass warmth combined with an accurate presentation of programme balance and excellent stereo imaging. Wherever space is at a premium and a true monitor is demanded, the Monitor 20 is the solution. Specifications: Sensitivity: 82 dB/1 W/1 m ea.
