reProducer Audio Labs Epic 55 Midfield Monitor
Sound with Depth
With the Epic 55, the relatively young company reProducer Audio Labs presents its second product. The new midfield monitors extend the product range initiated with the smaller Epic 5 nearfield loudspeakers. The smaller version was convincing in our test in issue 5/19 and - so much can be revealed in advance - the larger siblings are not inferior to their predecessors. The company reProducer Audio Labs was founded in 2016. According to the self-declaration on the homepage, the reProducer workforce consists of sound engineers, industrial designers, artists and, above all, musicians whose desire for devices with the best available audio quality could not be satisfied by the existing range, which is why they felt compelled to do it themselves to build devices, specifically loudspeakers, according to their own ideas. This is an understandable and quite likeable approach, not to wait for improvement, but to tackle what makes you dissatisfied. On the other hand, this also creates - at least in my case - increased expectations, because I can't claim to have not yet heard a loudspeaker that meets my requirements - "but something has to come up," is my thought. |
