Harbeth Super HL5 Speakers
Harbeth's Super HL5plus produces breathtaking transparency, a
huge soundstage and total immersion in the performance. This speaker
creates a rich bass and sweet midrange that brings acoustic music alive.
This is the latest generation of Dudley Harwood's original HL-Monitor: the cabinet is still engineered in the BBC tradition of removable 'thin-wall' panels for a totally true-to-life sound.
Retaining the classic 'two cubic foot' proportions found in the very best BBC monitors, the HL5plus relies on the exclusive Harbeth-made 200mm RADIAL2™ bass/mid driver. This produces a big, warm and powerful sound that underpins the incredible midband clarity.
The 25mm main tweeter is augmented by a 20mm SuperTweeter for an extended and even dispersion to the upper edge of the audio band.
AWARDS for the SHL5 included...

Harbeth Compact 7ES-3
Whatever you ask of the Compact 7ES-3, it always delivers: perfectly.
The clarity is spellbinding and brings the 'magic carpet ride'
experience to the listening room in a medium-sized enclosure.
The world-class HL Compact 7ES-3 takes the ultra-clean Harbeth-exclusive RADIAL2™ cone technology to another performance level. This medium-sized loudspeaker combines natural sound with a flair for reproducing any and every type of music.
The Harbeth secret for natural sound is the result of the meticulous attention to detail.
Critically important, but hidden, is the crossover for seamless integration of the drive units across a wider horizontal and vertical arc meaning that the Compact 7ES-3 is far less critical of stand height than many speakers of this size.

Harbeth In The Studio
Harbeth speakers are the most
natural and accurate studio monitors available as well as being uniquely
satisfying to work with: that's why they're the first choice for so
many top sound engineers creating thousands of hours of blockbuster
programs.
Monitor 20.1 Pro | Monitor 30.1 Pro | Monitor 40.2 Pro
Harbeth Monitor 20.1 Pro
Widely used since its introduction in 1990 throughout BBC sound and vision galleries, digital workstation editors and OBs, the Monitor 20 offers a remarkably full scale sound that belies its extremely compact dimensions - about the size of a shoe box. Magnetically shielded, the 20s can be sited immediately adjacent to sensitive equipment which makes them ideal forn nearfield monitoring in desktop sound and video editing.
The heavy two-way sealed box has a skillfully contoured bass response and an even, natural response across entire audio band. The solid bass weight combined with the natural coloration-free presentation of programme and excellent stereo imaging means that wherever space is at a premium but a true monitor is needed, the Monitor 20 is the perfect solution.
The smallest professional-use Harbeth is the Monitor 20 which replaces the BBC LS3/5a in size and performance. These incredible mini monitors offer the easy Harbeth sound and are idea for small spaces such as Outside Broadcast trucks or workstation-offices and editing suites. The overall balance and bass extension is carefully designed so that programs made on Monitor 20s can and do go straight to transmission.

Harbeth Monitor 30.1 Pro
We deliberately didn't want speakers which would 'flatter' the soundNigel Bewley, The British Library (National Sound Archives)Crafted
around Harbeth's RADIAL2™ technology, the new generation Monitor 30.1
produces effortless clarity throughout the midrange, thanks to advances
in computer simulation. The new sixth generation Harbeth simulator has
perfected drive-unit integration right through the all-critical
crossover region. The result is an even more believable, musical sound
over a wider listening arc.
The superb midband clarity and resolution of the M30s is popular with users who make critical judgement of audio quality, forensic audio and evaluation of encoded/decoded/re-encoded compressed audio.
Ideally suited to medium size control rooms/cubicles for all speech and music reproduction, the Monitor 30.1 is an excellent all-round solution offering a good balance between size and performance. They can be mounted on floor stands, hung from ceiling U brackets or sat atop the desk.
The Monitor 30.1 is ideally suited for use as a centre channel or as a rear channel in a mixed Monitor 40.1/Monitor 30.1 surround sound system.

Harbeth Monitor 40.2 Pro
The three-way Reference Monitor has produced countless hundreds of
thousands of hours of network radio, TV and post production for more
than 10 years. The Monitor 40.2 is the latest generation of the leading
Harbeth to fulfil the ‘BBC Grade 1 Reference Monitor specification’.
Coloration is by far the lowest of any monitor loudspeaker. Power
handling and efficiency have been increased, system impedance raised and
optimised for easier amplifier matching, tighter bass and stereo
imaging in a class of its own.
The Monitor 40.2 gives a relaxed and totally fatigue-free presentation that naturally and effortlessly places performers in 3D space. As with all members of the Harbeth Monitor 20/30/40 family, projects started on one speaker can be reworked on others with complete confidence despite the cabinet size range due to a common design brief and sonic presentation.
The studio monitors are finished in professional matt grey or a range of veneer options.
Harbeth's Monitor 40.2s are at the heart of Fountain Studio's gallery monitoring - home to many cult TV shows, the British Library's National Sound Archive and used by many eminent sound supervisors in radio and TV.
