The famous Swan M1 is back

Swan's best minimonitor features a black leather baffle, solid computer-milled hardwood panels, and Swan's very finest drive units and driver technology. This no-compromise reference monitor has wowed audiophiles since 1996.

No compromises

The Swan M1 has laminated solid wood side and top panels milled into a low-diffraction profile and fastened to heavy composite front and rear baffles. A rear-facing port tunes the bass reflex alignment, giving the M1's 5.25" / 135mm midbass driver surprising bass - as a ten liter enclosure tuned to approximately 60Hz, the M1 reaches a deep 55Hz at cutoff.

The M1 comes with removable sheer grille fitted with stainless steel pegs, a single heavy gold-plated input terminal set, black hardware, and matte-black rear baffle.  The front baffle is finished in black leather.  The M1's finish is medium gloss lacquer.

Swan High End

As a major brand Swan have found ample demand for high level audiophile speakers, a demand they've filled since introducing true world-class $60,000 flagship speakers nearly two decades ago. The selection at The Audio Insider - which include our own tuned versions of some models - are among the more value-packed premium Swan models. In this family of special models you'll find advanced technologies and premium build quality.

Savvy expertise

Swan have been perfecting some technologies for twenty years. Among them you'll find low distortion driver motors, thin-film planar magnetic treble drivers, and very wideband fullrange drivers. The Swan technical team has been working with these technologies in some cases for the life of the brand - longer than most companies have been turning out conventional speakers.

The M3's planar "ribbon" tweeter has infinitesimal mass and lightning fast response to 30,000 Hz. Powerful Neodymium magnets drive the tweeter's entire surface uniformly, reducing distortion and aiding very high frequency detail

Do they look as good as they sound?

Add gorgeous surfaces, finishes, and styling to Swan technology for premium loudspeakers that are as much a pleasure to own as they are to listen to.

The Swan M3's proprietary midwoofer sports a machined aluminum frame, Kevlar cone, and alloy phase plug and is mounted in a rock-solid cabinet of milled solid timbers and piano-grade colors

The Swan M1B has a leather covered baffle

Secrets of Home Theater and HiFi Looks at the Classic Swan M1.


Chris Groppi takes a pair of M1’s out for a drive.

"For an audiophile on a budget looking for a small speaker that does most everything right, the Swans M1 should certainly be on the short list to audition. Not only do they have spectacular, effortless treble, very good imaging, soundstaging, and a neutral tonal character, they do it with build quality that far exceeds what you normally get for under $1000/pair."
