The Little British Monitor (LBM), is the distillation of high-end studio monitoring into a compact form. Designed from the ground up to excel in every metric, it’s perfect for those who demand purity of sound whether for mobile recording, desktop audio or simply to create an unobtrusive listening system with the added convenience of Bluetooth aptX HD connectivity.

Key Features of the LBM

• Linear Neutral Frequency Response: Experience flat and accurate frequency response with the LBM, ensuring your mixes translate perfectly and every detail of music is reproduced as intended.

• Optimized Port Design: AudioSmile identified port performance as the primary weakness of alternative products. The LBM's port design is the result of extensive research to minimise unwanted noise and distortion of all types.  The result is a sound purity typically found only in sealed box systems, combined with extended, dynamic bass reaching down to 58Hz.

• Wide-band Tweeter: The LBM’s unconventional tweeter takes over from the woofer at 1.5KHz, a full octave earlier than most small speakers. This design ensures superior driver integration and minimizes modulation by the woofer, delivering a more cohesive and open sound.

• Advanced Waveguide Technology: The wide-band tweeter features a meticulously designed waveguide that matches the woofer's dispersion and minimizes diffraction effects. Additionally, an integrated phase lens broadens the sweet spot for the highest frequencies. This ensures a smooth, consistent off-axis response and a natural, expansive soundstage.

• State-of-the-Art DSP: In-house designed electronics drive the LBM. Integrated DSP active crossovers exact precise control over each driver ensuring time and phase alignment, driver excursion and amplifier clipping protection, and auto-standby functionality. Room boundary compensation allows the LBM to adapt seamlessly to any listening environment.

• Class A/B Amplification: Each driver in the LBM is powered by its own 50-watt Class A/B amplifier, providing clean low distortion power without the fatigue associated with many Class-D designs. The regulated supply delivers 100-watts of clean power and 4700uF of local capacitance provisions for effortless dynamic peaks.

• Accessories: Custom-designed desktop stands, called Little Feet, feature a constrained layer support plate to dissipate vibrations and an innovative gear-based adjustable tilt mechanism for precise listening axis alignment. The base of the LBM includes a ¼-20 UNC mounting thread, a global standard for photographic equipment, opening an almost limitless range of mounting options including wall brackets, tripods and articulating arms.

• Superior Build Quality: Each LBM is hand built in England. The front baffle is crafted from 12mm birch plywood, chosen for its stylish appearance and excellent acoustic properties. The woofer is braced by steel bars, providing an inert foundation that minimizes coloration. The finish is a custom mixed fine textured black incorporating mica and metallic particles that subtly sparkle like star-light.
