Unique in shape, unparalleled in performance, Hyphn is the result of an intense collaboration between their designers and engineers, who set out to build the best loudspeaker anyone has ever heard.

Featuring the new M-Array high- and mid-frequency driver array and four force-cancelled 8” bass drivers per speaker, Hyphn is capable of delivering an unrivalled listening experience.

Hyphn is unlike anything Monitor Audio, or anyone else, has ever created. A statement of a flagship loudspeaker, conceived and engineered upon an R&D philosophy of maintaining a balance between design and technology, that they call their Transparent Design Philosophy.

Revolutionising what is achievable for high-end home audio, Hyphn features the 3rd generation, Micro Pleated Diaphragm (MPD III) high frequency transducer at the centre of the M-Array. A breakthrough in high- and mid-frequency transducer technology, it provides an acoustic and physical link to the twin bass cabinets that sit either side of it, and contain four force-cancelled 8” bass drivers, capable of delivering impressive levels of tight, impactful bass.

The result of five decades of knowledge and innovation, Hyphn delivers a dramatically enhanced listening experience, with a visually striking presence.

A Technical Leap

At the heart of Hyphn is the ‘M-Array’. This unique configuration, developed in-house by Monitor’s Audio engineers, comprises a single high-frequency transducer surrounded by no fewer than six 2-inch midrange drivers. The result is exceptional soundstage clarity, allowing the listener to precisely pin-point individual instruments and vocals.

The high-frequency transducer adopts the new third-generation Micro Pleated Diaphragm III (MPD III) to deliver a larger, clearer and more consistent sound. Developed in-house by Monitor Audio’s acoustic engineers for the Concept 50 prototype, the same technology also appears on the range-topping Platinum Series 3G floor-standing loudspeaker.

The six 2-inch midrange drivers feature Monitor Audio’s Rigid Diaphragm Technology III (RDT III) cones, introduced in 2022, for enhanced clarity.

The M-Array is located squarely between Hyphn’s twin pillars, each of which houses a pair of powerful 8-inch bass drivers, facing inwards, in a force-cancelling configuration resulting in almost no vibration force from the drivers, either within themselves or being passed into the cabinet. Large diameter underhung voice-coils reduce harmonic distortion for clean, tight, high-impact bass performance.

Power and Precision

Hyphn has been engineered to deliver enhanced bass control, response and dynamics, plus exceptional detail through the treble and upper midrange. Crossovers are specifically designed to ensure precise, controlled performance across the full frequency spectrum. It’s also the most powerful loudspeaker Monitor Audio has ever produced.

The Shape of Genius

Hyphn takes its name from the architectural term ‘hyphen’ – a link connecting two separate structures. Each loudspeaker consists of two pillars, with the ‘hyphen’ between them housing the M-Array.

The cabinet is constructed in thermoformed, precision-milled mineral and acrylic stone to create a totally rigid structure. With built-in formed, port tubes, strengthening ribs and bracing, with internal and external wall thickness of ½-inch up to 1-inch for bracing around the force-cancelling bass drivers, the cabinet is almost vibration free. This minimises physical distortion and resonance, ensuring optimum sound clarity and accuracy from the drive units.

Hyphn is presented in three luxury finishes – Pure Satin White, Matte Black, and Matte Heritage Green.

Key Feature

• The unique M-Array configuration features a single MPD III Transducer surrounded by six RDT III dedicated midrange drivers
• 3rd generation MPD III high-frequency transducers reduce distortion, flatten frequency response and lead to wider, cleaner more consistent and lifelike sound
• RDT III cone produces piston-like control even under the most extreme performance, providing a more precise, lifelike tonal balance and lower distortion
• Newly optimised Mid-range drivers ensure a completely smooth frequency transition with Tweeter
• Carefully engineered crossovers produced to ensure the most exact and controlled sound performance across full frequency spectrum
• Hyphn is available in three incredible finishes: Matte Black, Matte Heritage Green and Pure Satin White
