When Telegrapher announced their new flagship Rhino monitors, it felt like the audio community collectively leaned in. As enthusiasts who are perpetually chasing that perfect sound, we've been eager for a monitor that marries technical precision with the warmth and fullness that brings music to life.
The Rhino is a four-way active studio monitor designed specifically for critical mixing and mastering applications. It features an innovative dedicated upper bass driver—a 7" (18 cm) woofer—that enhances warmth and tonal richness without deviating from a clinically flat frequency response. This is complemented by a hefty 12.5" (32 cm) lower bass woofer, a 4.5" (12 cm) midrange driver, and a 1" (2.5 cm) tweeter. Powered by two integrated 500W Class D amplifiers, the Rhino boasts an impressive frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz and a peak SPL of 112.5 dB.
Emre Telci, Telegrapher's CTO, shared some insights: "Every aspect of the Rhino's acoustic design was meticulously engineered to achieve natural, uncolored sound reproduction. These monitors embody our commitment to creating tools that serve the most discerning audio professionals."
What sets the Rhino apart is its sealed cabinet design, which minimizes diffraction and enhances bass clarity—outperforming traditional ported systems. Handcrafted in Istanbul, all Telegrapher products utilize pure analog circuit designs, reflecting a dedication to authentic sound reproduction.
For producers, sound engineers, and mastering experts focused on making informed decisions about tonal balance, stereo imaging, and overall mix cohesion, the Rhino looks to be a game-changer. There's a sense that with these monitors, we're not just hearing the music—we're experiencing it exactly as it was intended.
