For the millionaires among us, Monitor Audio has launched its most powerful loudspeaker to date: the Hyphn, featuring the company’s ‘M-Array’ single high-frequency transducer surrounded by six 50mm midrange drivers. This adopts a new third-generation Micro Pleated Diaphragm III (MPD III) tweeter, which also appears in the company’s Platinum Series 3G floorstander.

The six 50mm midrange drivers feature Monitor Audio’s Rigid Diaphragm Technology III (RDT III) cones, which were first introduced last year. The M-Array is located squarely between Hyphn’s twin pillars, each of which houses a pair of 203mm bass drivers, facing inwards, in a force-cancelling configuration – which Monitor Audio claims results in: “almost no vibration force from the drivers, either within themselves or being passed into the cabinet”. Large diameter under hung voice coils are used in a bid to reduce harmonic distortion for high-impact bass performance.

The cabinet is constructed in thermoformed, precision-milled mineral and acrylic stone to create a rigid structure. With built-in formed, port tubes, strengthening ribs and bracing, boasting internal and external wall thickness of 13mm up to 25mm for bracing around the force-cancelling bass drivers, Monitor Audio claims the cabinet is almost completely vibration free.

With a claimed sensitivity of 85dB into 4ohm loads, Hyphn comes in a choice of three finishes: Pure Satin White, Matte Black and Matte Heritage Green.
