Leema Acoustics
The founders, both ex-BBC engineers, have a fanatical interest
in audio reproduction for both professional and domestic
environments. Since the early 1990s Mallory Nicholls
has been manufacturing the world's leading 5.1 monitoring
electronics for recording studios and mastering houses under the
MAGTRAX brand; whilst the BAFTA and Palme d'Or award-winning Lee
Taylor, has many years experience in recording and mixing for the
film, television and music industries.
Leema Acoustics was founded in 1998 as a vehicle for Mallory
and Lee to push the boundaries of loudspeaker design in order to
create a miniature loudspeaker capable of outperforming a system
many times its size. The original
research focused on new design principles and mathematical models
as software tools available at the time were simply not good
enough requiring Leema to write their own. The
result, released some four years later, was a micro monitor of
unsurpassed technical and musical excellence called
Xen. Initially the Xen was only available to the
professional audio market but over time audiophiles became
increasingly aware of the quality of Leema products, which are
designed to be run all day, everyday.
With growing interest from Hi-Fi enthusiasts, audiophiles and
audio professionals, the Leema range is evolving in to a
class-leading portfolio. Where possible, Leema
source all major components from within the EU. |
