The DB1i is widely recognized as the definitive compact monitor, boasting a storied history that includes numerous accolades, such as 'loudspeaker of the year,' and a substantial collection of five-star reviews from the hifi and professional press worldwide. Its design reflects the latest series upgrades, successfully pushing the boundaries of what a small monitor can achieve. Remarkably, the DB1i delivers deep, controlled bass, broad sound staging, and impressive dynamics, qualities typically expected from speakers twice its size.
This monitor is perfectly suited for both stereo and surround systems in small to medium-sized rooms, making it a versatile component that integrates seamlessly with any model in the iseries range—particularly when used as discreet surround channels. When paired with the TLE1 active subwoofer, a system comprising iseries models projects an extraordinary hemispherical sound image that captivates with its expansive sense of space, clarity, and profound bass depth.
The DB1i's excellence is not only celebrated in the realm of hifi accolades but is also validated by its professional use. Esteemed studios and broadcasters like the BBC, BSkyB®, Metropolis Studios, and Fluid Mastering, among others worldwide, rely on the DB1i to authentically convey the essence of music.
