True Tone speakers provide a full-range experience with a calm and natural sound image that allows you to listen beyond the speakers, to the actual music itself. Reminiscent of legacy monitors they have the added bonus of an active design and DSP technology so the sound can be tweaked to my environment/studio. I could easily use the True Tones as reference speakers for mixing or composing music as they reveal sound in its purest form.

True Tone speakers excel in accuracy and adaptability, delivering a faithful and balanced sound across a wide range of listening levels. The low end is handled with real integrity, supporting complex arrangements without ever becoming overbearing.

Their spatial imaging and attention to detail are particularly impressive, even when listening from a distance, making them highly effective for revealing troublesome elements in dense mixes and intricate instrumentation. At the same time, they remain deeply musical and engaging, enhancing the experience of listening across genres. A speaker that combines precision with genuine enjoyment.

I spent time working with True Tone speakers alongside my usual reference systems and was immediately struck by how confident and coherent they sounded. The stereo imaging is excellent, creating a clear and stable soundstage that makes it easy to place elements accurately across the stereo field.

The low end is tight, controlled and well extended without feeling hyped, while the midrange is detailed and articulate, helping reveal subtle nuances that are critical when shaping a mix. Despite their refined and compact form, these speakers deliver a sense of scale and authority that makes them genuinely impressive to work on.

I had the great pleasure of using a pair of True Tone speakers as studio monitors for the last year. I thought they sounded fantastic! They were clear, powerful, had a natural frequency balance with great stereo
imaging and I found it very hard to leave my workstation all lockdown! 
 
They look at home in the studio, on a desk or in a bookshelf. I’d highly recommend True Tone to both serious audio people, and casual users who appreciate great sound!

True Tone speakers strike a rare balance between the precision of a studio monitor and the musicality of classic hi-fi designs. They deliver a sound that feels detailed and revealing, yet warm and engaging, making them equally suited to critical listening and pure enjoyment.

With a timeless design and a sound that adapts effortlessly to different environments, these are serious speakers that feel at home in almost any space – from a living room to a creative studio. A beautifully judged combination of performance and character.

Spending time mixing on True Tone speakers was a genuinely impressive experience. What stood out immediately was the stereo imaging – precise, stable and highly informative – making it easy to place elements accurately across the stereo field.

The low end is tight and well controlled without feeling exaggerated, while the midrange is detailed and revealing, helping uncover subtle nuances in that critical area. This balance makes it far easier to create mixes that translate confidently across different systems. A highly capable and thoughtfully tuned speaker that delivers far more than its form factor suggests.

True Tone speakers are phenomenal. Their clarity and sense of balance across the full frequency range is immediately impressive, delivering a sound that feels both controlled and natural. They are extremely pleasant to listen to and work beautifully across a wide variety of music styles.

The cabinet construction and finish are of a very high quality, with thoughtful detailing and attractive front grilles that make them as appealing visually as they are sonically. I would confidently recommend True Tone speakers to clients and anyone looking for a refined, high-quality sound experience in the home.
