Swan M1 reference class minimonitor
The famous 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.
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" 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.
The Audio Insider is proud to return this model to North America.
Swan M1 reference class minimonitor
The M1's 50mm x 13mm planar "ribbon" tweeter has infinitesimal mass and lightning fast response to over 30,000 Hz. Powerful Neodymium magnets drive the tweeter's entire surface uniformly, reducing distortion and aiding very high frequency detail.
The M1's midwoofer was especially choosen to compliment the tweeter. This 5" / 115mm driver has been lavished with just about everything HiVi knows about midrange driver technology:
- Kevlar hybrid curvilinear cone for controlled, linear behavior
- Special, FEA-optimized, low distortion motor design
- Synthetic butyl rubber surround for linearity and long life
- Linear back suspension for low mechanical distortion
- Dust cap-less design with alloy phase plug for low resonance and high bandwidth
- High temperature voice coil for high power handling
- Heavy cast alloy basket for strength
The exceptional M1 midwoofer is one of Swan's very best.
