Audiomaster 21 – Audio Master for the 21st Century…
The original Audiomaster products were introduced by W & N Electronics Ltd., in the mid to late 1950s. Aimed at the higher end of the new burgeoning high fidelity market, the W & N ‘520’ mono amplifier utilised EL34 power pentode valves, and ‘Partridge Transformers’ for a much superior performance. Several highly flexible (mono) control units, boasting superb build and sound were launched to match the ‘W & N Audiomaster 520’. The arrival of stereophonic sound in 1958, saw the launch of the ‘Brecon’ integrated stereo amplifier ( 8 + 8 watts, ECL82 output valves ) to be followed by the ‘Colwyn’ pre & power combination ( 15 + 15 watts, EL84 output valves ) and the ‘Conway’ top of the range stereo pre amplifier designed to run with 2x ‘520’ power amplifiers.
On leaving the BBC in 1973, the now iconic speaker designer Robin Marshall, having worked on the equally iconic BBC LS3/5a monitor loudspeaker, eventually joins forces with John Read of K. J. Leisuresounds, purposely to manufacture ‘high quality, BBC sound, British style’ loudspeaker systems.
Audiomaster was re-launched in 1975 with two models; the iconic LS3/5a and a 50% larger model called the ‘Image 2’. Robin Marshall’s design experience also went in to the exquisite BBC sound-style ‘MLS 1’, ‘MLS 2’ and ‘MLS 4’ range of models, introduced in the late 70s, and with fidelity rivalling that of similar BBC style designs; Spendor SA1 & SA2, Rogers Compact Monitor & LS3/6…
The original Audiomaster LS3/5a was assembled on a small production line, with one-by-one hand assembly, with each individual speaker being tweaked and tuned precisely to the BBC specifications. This has ensured a very high demand for these classic models on the second-hand market place.
After almost 40 years of a break, the Audiomaster name resurfaces in the twenty first century as “Audiomaster21”. We are proud to launch the following models under the Audiomaster21 banner:
-The Audiomaster21 LS3/5a Classic 15 Ohm
-The Audiomaster21 LS3/5a ’40th Revival Limited Edition’
-The Audiomaster21 LS5/9 Classic ( available first quarter 2021 )
All new LS3/5a models will be hand built to the highest possible standards, with each individual loudspeaker fine tuned to a reference, ensuring better fidelity, and pair matching than even the original Audiomaster series of models. Made in the EU and UK.
Newly manufactured and bespoke T27/1032 tweeter units and B110/1003 mid/bass units are used. The crossover is built to the original BBC RD1976/29 specification sheet, using Radiometal transformer core inductors on the mid/bass unit, and a multi-tap transformer core inductor on the tweeter.
The 40th Revival Limited Edition model is strictly limited to just 40 pairs, individually numbered (reservations are starting now, delivery will be January 2021), These models will follow the Kingswood Warren Laboratory Standards.
