About Monitor Audio

Mo Iqbal founded Monitor Audio in 1972. From a small base near Cambridge, England, Mo worked with a tight-knit team of engineers, assembling loudspeakers by hand – with quality, precision and a near-maddening perfectionism which is still with Monitor Audio today. From the very first speaker, the iconic MA1, the brand developed, innovated, designed and refined, with a pioneering approach that saw patent after patent filed. It’s an ethos that hasn’t changed at all. In fact, Monitor Audio is one of very few high-end audio brands still developing new, cutting-edge technologies today.

Monitor Audio are filled with people who make audio human. They’re smart, ingenious, genuine and serious about sound, but never stuffy. They are seekers of excellence, but never narrow-minded or snobbish, premium, but never cold. They’re a bunch of passionate people who put their heart and soul into everything they do, from product design right through to the shop floor. They’re finely tuned to the people they serve and they have a single vision - to become the accessible audio brand for all those who seek excellence in sound.
