Harbeth

Harbeth Audio Ltd is the UK's most successful, longest-standing and wholly British loudspeaker manufacturer with over 47 years of heritage. Founded by legendary BBC engineer Dudley Harwood after his retirement (combining his surname with his wife's name Beth), the company was created to commercialize the BBC's loudspeaker R&D. Harwood developed and patented the revolutionary polypropylene-cone woofer, with the H.L. Monitor being the first speaker to use this technology. Since 1986, current owner and designer Alan Shaw has led the company from their factory in Lindfield, West Sussex, where everything is designed and manufactured. Harbeth has pioneered RADIAL cone technology and maintains the BBC monitor legacy while developing modern innovations like their NLE series with DSP integration. Their motto 'FIDELITY FIRST®' reflects their commitment to enhancing the audio experience and bringing out musical nuances. Current product lines include P3ESR XD2, C7ES-3 XD2, SHL5plus XD2, M40.5 XD2, and the advanced NLE series.
