From the inside out, the M-1 was conceived as a unified system. Its design has evolved in a totally integrated way, from the custom-made crossover to the two-piece clamshell cabinet. Now, following a complete technological overhaul, including all-new drive units designed in-house, it sounds better than ever. Dispersion has increased. Imaging is pin-point accurate. Performance is now full range.

The M-1’s versatility allows it to adapt perfectly to any home environment, no matter how awkward thespace. You can put an M-1 on a bookshelf. Or mount it on a wall. Or position it on its own floor-length stand. It can swivel to a horizontal position, for when you want to use one as a centre-channel speaker. You can even take your pickof a choice of Matte Black or Matte White finishes.

No-one likes messy cables cluttering up the cleanlines of their domestic space. So in the same way as a powercable enters a well-designed table lamp at its base and passes up through the stand, the M-1’s signal cable disappears into the back of the table plinth stand. From here, the signal reaches the speaker via a specially-designed, pre-wired arm support.

The M-1’s tweeter is a highly specialised piece of equipment custom-made by the team behind some of our best-known hi-fi speakers. The tweeter is tube-loaded – a design innovation we first introduced on our ground-breaking Nautilus speaker. The tube works by soaking up unwanted resonance from the back of the tweeter, so the sound you hear from the front is as detailed and precise as possible.

The redesigned bass/midrange driver features our Anti-Resonance Plug – an acoustic innovation first seen on our high-end PM1 loudspeaker. Constructed from polymer foam,the mushroom-shaped device soaks up resonance like a sponge while also reducing cone break-up, creating unparalled clarity and detail in the midrange.

The M-1 was always a stylish speaker, but thanks to some subtle design tweaks it’s now looking sleeker and more elegant than ever. The cabinet is now more curvaceous, made of just two perfectly interlocking sectionsthat form one harmonious whole. This integrated structure isn’t just about visual aesthetics – the lack of seamsand joins is key to the M-1’s rock-solid sound.
