reProducer Audio Labs
Epic 55 Nearfield Monitor Recording Magazine (USA) July 2021 "I would call the sound of the Epic 55 full, dimensional, and immersive. With the Epic 55, I feel like I’m sitting inside the music, rather than feeling like it’s coming forward at me." |

reProducer Audio Labs
Epic 5 Active Nearfield Monitor Sound On Sound Magazine February 2021 "When I unpacked and connected the Epic 5 I had absolutely no idea what to expect. I finished this review full of admiration, not only for its performance, both objectively and subjectively, but also its industrial design and construction. The Epic 5 is an unusual and very capable monitor and it represents a new and genuinely competitive compact nearfield option. It’s an impressive first effort and I’ll be genuinely sorry to see the review pair leave." |

reProducer Audio Labs
Epic 5 Nearfield Monitor Recording Magazine (USA) March 2020 "If you need to work on a beautifully detailed, highly portable, great-sounding monitor, custom made for small spaces and uncompromised low volume listening, the Epic 5 is worth a closer look, and better yet a closer listen... The bottom ported radiator gives them a gentle haptic thump that I quite enjoy.” |

Audio Jewel
Studio Magazin (Germany) June 2019 "We are dealing here with a transparent listening tool in the best understood sense: neutral on the frequency plane with linear depths, discoloration-free mids and lofty heights, precise on the time plane, with fast transients and deep impulses, transparent spatiality and a stereo stage with clearly demarcated positions. The whole thing is packed in an exotic design with great feel and high-quality workmanship..." |

Interview with Yusuke Asada
Prosound Magazine (Japan) June 2019 "This spring, reProducer Audio Labs landed in Japan. Their first product is the Epic 5 near-field studio monitor, which features an original 1-inch diameter tweeter and 5.25-inch woofer in a unique form. In addition, it features a 6.25" diameter passive radiator on the bottom, ensuring a powerful low-frequency and dynamic range that you can't imagine from its compact size..." |

Hideyuki Suzuki (Daichi):
Thoughts on Epic 5 Sound Designer Magazine (Japan) March 2019 "Unexpected sound quality from compact size with an exotic 8-sided outer design monitor – has landed in Japan. Founded in 2015, the new design of near-field monitor speaker Epic 5 was released by emerging German brand reProducer Audio Labs. I asked Hideyuki Suzuki (Daichi), a music producer, songwriter, and engineer, to hear Epic 5..." |

Introducing Epic 5 Near-field Power Monitor with Passive Radiator
Sound & Recording Magazine d April 2019 "In a word, it's a miniature version of a large monitor in the mastering studio. It has the scale to listen to in a large studio, which is unimaginable in a small size, and enough dynamic range. The headroom is so wide that the high-altitude sound pressure and ears feel limited first. If the sound is just for your taste, it may be a tool you can't take off every day..." |

Home Studio Monitor
Selection Guidelines by Alan J.S. Han "I think the last speaker in the signal chain that turns electrical signals into acoustic energy is the most important factor." |

First Experiences with the Epic 5
By: Jan Gerhard "After the test I thought, "Wow, the little beasts are really good!" I suspected a price between €3-4.5K per pair. When the salesperson gave me the MSRP, I first had to ask him whether he was in the vicinity of any alcoholic beverages and, if so, how many drinks it was...." |
