Future-Proof Your Monitoring:
Unrivalled Accuracy, Unbeatable Value
Finally achieve professional mixes that translate flawlessly, revealing every detail and accelerating your workflow to deliver your best sound yet.
Introducing MUM: The Modular Upgradable Monitor
Traditionally, studio monitor design has been plagued by distortion – a deviation from the original, true, or intended form. While distortion can be desirable in many musical tools, it's the last thing you want in your monitoring chain.
So we created a studio monitor with unrivalled clarity, transparency and class-leading low distortion, and a community of users now achieving world-class mixes with exceptional translation. Meet the MUM:
​
• Modular design that allows you to upgrade your system as your skills, budget, or available technologies improve
• Extremely low distortion for incomparable clarity and mix translation
• Groundbreaking amplifier design that can sit traditionally at the rear of the cabinet or be easily removed and placed in a rack for flexibility of installation
• Acoustically inert cabinets made from environmentally sourced FSC-certified materials with no harmful VOCs or off-gassing paint finishes
• A direct sales model giving you twice the value, plus one-to-one, zero-BS customer service, direct from us
All this makes for the most compelling studio monitor on the market today.
But don't just take our word for it - ask our users!

CALLUM M, MELBOURNE
MUM-8 BERYLLIUM
"The MUMs basically exceed my expectations in every way. The amount of detail is insane. I'm echoing everyone else with my words, but I'm hearing so many things that I haven't before. Bass detail and transients are noticeably better than my previous monitors. Can't really describe it, things just feel more alive on the MUMs but the accuracy is still there. So ridiculously happy with them, I've got the biggest grin on my face sitting back and listening!"
FINALLY HEAR HOW YOUR MIXES REALLY SOUND
Revolutionary drivers built to a spec, not to a price from Purifi, Denmark and BlieSMa, Germany.
Purifi is reinventing the transducer from the ground up, developing industry-leading technology to reduce distortion. In their own words “Building a straight wire to the soul of music”.
Whilst much of this groundbreaking tech is hidden from view within the motor assembly, one particular aspect is clearly visible from the front of the speaker - the three-dimensional cone
surround. This distortion-minimising feature, in conjunction with our sealed enclosure cabinet design, means unbeatable bass reproduction, allowing you to judge even the tiniest compression and EQ moves with pinpoint accuracy, even in the sub-bass frequencies. And the cone stops precisely when the signal does, with no overhang colouring the sound.
All this combines to give you incredible accuracy in the low end, removes the guesswork from your mixes, and enables superb translation to other systems.
Similarly, our low-distortion super-accurate BlieSMa mid-drivers and tweeters lift the veil on the rest of the frequency spectrum. A bad mix instantly sounds bad, and all of our users report clarity and detail they’ve never heard before in music they’ve been listening to for years.


AMPLIFIERS THAT SONICALLY DISAPPEAR
World class drivers are no good if they just show flaws in amplifier design, and traditional analogue designs, with either passive or active crossovers, can be yet another source of distortion - colouring what you are actually hearing.
That’s why we use the cleanest, most accurate wire-with-gain amplifier technology currently available - a class-leading design manufactured for us by Dutch company Hypex Electronics, with approved modifications carried out by us in our workshop to lower the already ultra-low noise floor to imperceptible levels.
Our DSP front end splits the audio sent into the speaker into 2 (MUM-6) or 3 (MUM-8/MUM-10) bands, with a very efficient, low-distortion Class D amplifier then powering each individual driver. This combats all the issues that traditionally plague an analogue front end, which can lead to distortion and colouration – great in your outboard, but not in your monitors!
On the MUM-8 and MUM-10, the amplifiers are in a separate enclosure that can either be mounted on the back of the speaker or completely removed and placed in a rack. This leads to more efficient cooling, less stress on components for a longer and more reliable life, and allows for easy soffit mounting, with the amplifiers located in a machine room, in the front wall under the speakers, or wherever you see fit.
An easily removable amp-pack also allows for future upgrades. As DSP and Class D technologies continually improve, we can not only equip new MUM orders with the latest advancements but also offer new amp packs with cutting-edge technology to existing MUM owners.
Our amp packs also offer wireless control from the included remote. Volume, input selection, preset number, standby power, and more can all be controlled remotely, with their status clearly visible from the OLED display on the front of the speakers. No more faffing around the back to change settings!

"I'm extremely satisfied with the MUM-8's. They really are just in a league of their own compared to anything else in this price range. Their uncompromising accuracy highlights any issues in a mix and doesn't cut you any slack, but at the same time makes decision-making fast and easy with next to no second-guessing. I really feel like the MUM-8's push me to be a better mixing engineer - they're like the speaker equivalent of a demanding client with an extremely good ear (only more convenient). And a good mix on the MUM-8's translates well to any other system."
Sustainably Crafted Cabinets for Pure Sound
Our three-way cabinets feature a 38mm thick front baffle with constrained-layer-damping and are fully braced. This ensures you hear the sound from the drivers, not unwanted resonances and distortion from the cabinets themselves.
We wanted to avoid VOC-laden MDF and environmentally unfriendly paint finishes. Our cabinets are made from FSC-certified Valchromat, manufactured in Portugal from a combination of recycled pine, and trees grown in sustainable plantations specifically for its production. The bonding resin is 100% VOC-free (the material can be safely used in children's toys) and also makes for a cabinet that is around 30% denser than its MDF counterparts – perfect for loudspeaker cabinet construction.
The speakers are available in a variety of colours, with the pigment embedded directly into the Valchromat material during production. It's sealed and protected using a natural bio-engineered product that is, again, made from entirely natural materials, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly. Plus, it won’t adhere to itself, so cabinets that become scratched or damaged can be easily repaired throughout their life.


Twice the Value, Direct to You
When we launched the MUMs, we opted for a direct sales model. This cuts out unnecessary middlemen, enabling us to offer you fantastic value for money and incredible levels of customer service. All speakers are made by hand, by us, and are shipped directly from either our UK workshop or our trusted partner in the United States.
​
With any MUM model, you’re getting twice the value the competition can offer because you’re not paying distribution or retail margins. You’re also talking directly with us – no lengthy service-ticket support or having to go through a retailer.
This model hugely benefits us too. We get to know our clients, can offer advice on positioning and room treatment to help you get the most out of your monitors and, on the very rare occasion something does go wrong, we can get you back up and running hassle-free, in the least amount of time.
Join the MUM Community: Our Ambassadors
Most MUM owners become friends (another benefit of our direct sales model), love their monitors, and are keen to spread the word. And they do! We reward our MUM ambassadors by paying them a commission from any sales they generate. One of our customers in the United States has not only vastly expanded his network of professional engineers and producers by doing this, he’s paid for his MUM-8s many times over!

"Now installed into my home studio - the beryllium version of the MUM-8 active studio monitors really are very special and quite extraordinary.
In terms of low-end depth and clarity I am astonished compared to other studio monitors in this price range. The accuracy continues through the mid range and high-end frequencies and I'm hearing differences and wonderful nuances on my mix comparison tests that I was previously unaware of!
After 51 years in the industry I've finally found my perfect monitors."
About Us: James & Mark
We are James and Mark, and we’ve been running a professional audio business together since 2014. Mark got the recording bug in the late 1980s, quickly gaining entry into London’s top studios through his love of the Hammond organ. He opened his first commercial studio in 2012, with James joining two years later.
​
Mastering was always his passion, so what started as a traditional commercial studio pivoted solely to mastering and post-production during the Covid-19 outbreak, with the pair starting a YouTube channel at the same time.
​
Our journey to the MUMs began while trying to specify a system for Dolby Atmos that featured mastering-grade monitoring all around the room, but didn’t require an investment that could have equally bought us a small family home! We spent two years (with a lot of expert help!) developing a three-way active studio monitor, initially for our use only, that rivalled the mastering-grade monitors costing tens of thousands of pounds we had been using for years. Once we started using them in earnest, two unexpected things happened:
​
-
Positive feedback from our mastering clients went up exponentially as revisions went down.
-
Our clients wanted to buy them!
​
And so we went about refining the ‘DIY’ paint-roller finished speakers we had installed in our Atmos room at PDP HQ into a proper commercial product. This refinement process led to a vastly improved cabinet design with professionally CNC cut parts (in place of Mark’s accomplished but ‘rustic’ router work!), a transition from an off-the-shelf Hypex plate amplifier to our own rack-mountable design, and further refinement of the DSP algorithms to maximise phase alignment of drivers and ensure a cohesive wavefront at the listening position.
​
Our early adopters were delighted with the results, and our MUMs have been replacing many ‘name’ brands in hundreds of home, project, and professional studios in over 35 countries ever since.
​
We are extremely proud of our monitors, but innovation is the key to creating truly groundbreaking products, and so we refuse to stand still. The MUM range is constantly improving and revealing other weak links in the monitoring chain that we know we can address with equally compelling offers – speaker stands, studio desks, and acoustic treatment being a few that are currently in development. This, backed up with our expert-led, actionable online content focusing on improving the production skills of our clients, means that the most exciting time in the history of music production, ever, is now!

"The PresentDayProduction MUM-8’s have been the best investment I’ve made for my studio. The transient detail is exceptional, the overall clarity is spectacular, and all my mixes translate like never before. You can hear everything on these monitors, and I mean everything. Not to mention the customer service is fantastic. Best part is my clients are asking for less and less revisions. Saving me time to work on more mixes."
