A unique new speaker designed in Germany with boutique sonics, in an affordable, portable package.
reProducer Audio Labs is a new company located in Breisach, Germany. Its inaugural product, launched at the 2019 AES convention in New York, is the Epic 5, a compact 5" nearfield studio monitor designed for professional and project studios alike, with an emphasis on detailed and honest sonics, in a compact, portable package. While the company and speaker are new, there's a design/engineering connection to the folks behind the United Minorities brand, maker of the handmade, ultra-boutique Ginko nearfield monitor. |
reProducer Audio Labs aim to take the design ethos, knowledge, and most importantly, the detailed sound found in the boutique monitor world, and with overseas production, make models that are more affordable than their top-shelf counterparts.
Designed in Germany and manufactured in China, it’s worth noting that there are no off-the-shelf mass produced or OEM components used in the Epic 5; all parts internal and external are custom designed to strict tolerances.
