Best Monkey Banana products in the Monitor speakers category

On this page you'll find a ranking of the best Monkey Banana products in this category. To give you a quick overview, we've already ranked the most important information about the products for you.

1. Monkey Banana Turbo 8

The active near-field monitors from Monkey Banana stand out not only for their striking appearance. The cabinet is made from specially manufactured MDF, which has particularly good acoustic properties. The shape has been perfected to minimize standing waves and ensure a maximum degree of sound neutrality. For the first time, Monkey Banana speakers use NDFeB neodymium magnets, which provide a particularly low magnetic distortion and thus the highest precision.

A key focus of the Turbo series monitors is to ensure linear diaphragm displacement even at high volumes. The use of a specially developed ferrite driver, which generates significantly more magnetic flux than conventional ferrite drivers, enhances the speaker's durability and prevents material fatigue.

This is complemented by flexible input options: In addition to an XLR/6.3 mm combo input and an unbalanced RCA input, users have access to a digital SPDIF input with a thru output. This makes it easy to integrate these speakers perfectly into any digital environment.
 

2. Monkey Banana Lemur5

Six in One – The Lemur5 is an active modeling studio monitor.

What makes this speaker so special?

The Lemur5 is a speaker with a very linear frequency response
that can sound like other well-known studio monitors at the push of a button. The built-in digital signal processor (DSP) in the Lemur5, combined with modeling technology and other components used in its manufacturing, makes this possible.

In addition to the six DSP presets, there are features for further room adaptation, such as a three-stage low cut filter, a midrange bell filter, a high shelving filter, as well as a limiter on/off function and standby on/off.

The 5-inch speaker is equipped with a high-resolution aluminum tweeter and a Kevlar woofer. It is powered by Class-D amplifiers in conjunction with a DSP.

This versatile and unique monitor is suitable for use in the studio for nearfield monitoring, multimedia productions, or for demanding HiFi and AV playback.
