Guru Audio

The Guru QM60 was originally designed as a laboratory instrument for a project researching the properties of human hearing. Reproducing the acoustic signals used for this project required a neutral wide-band speaker with accurate reproduction of timbre, taking into account and compensating for the inherent colourations in the stereo system itself, generated in the process of phantom projection. It also required a very low distortion as well as a capability to reproduce wave shapes with a very high accuracy. Although this speaker may seem over qualified for hifi-use, the very same properties that enables them to reproduce artificial test signals in the four domains timbre, dynamic, time and space, are to a high degree beneficial when reproducing signals as complex as music. The difficulties in reproducing music should never be underestimated. The nuances are not no be ignored no matter how small and delicate they are.

Originally designed for professional use, the aim for QM10 was to make a monitor that captures, or rather recreates the whole event taking place on a music recording (or any other source of sound), timbrally accurate, in time and in space. Achieving that isn’t a matter of adding a lot of subjectively “positive things” – a colour is a colour, even when it’s a nice one, and we don’t want to add colors.

The world’s only true full bandwith mini monitor just got a baby sister! The Guru Junior packs much of the engineering marvel of the critically acclaimed Guru QM10 and QM10two onto an even smaller footprint and with an even more affordable price tag. With the Junior, Guru continues it’s mission to bring small, easy to place loudspeakers that sounds like large speakers to the world of hifi. With our proprietary driver technique and our class leading phase coherence, it can reproduce incredible bass and still maintain a neutral sound from 34Hz up to above 30kHz.
