Houchmand Audio is a German luxury audio brand founded by Marco Houchmand, known for the M1 active loudspeaker system. The system was first shown to the public at High End in Munich in 2022 and went through three more years of development before reaching production.
Range & what it's known for
The M1 System combines two active M1 speakers with a central Monobloc player. Each speaker is a three-way design with a coaxial midrange and tweeter and built-in room compensation EQ. The Monobloc has no amplifier section - it is a source and control hub that streams TIDAL, Qobuz, Deezer and Spotify, plays from USB and SSD, and sends signal to the speakers over wired or wireless links. An optional S1 subwoofer completes the range. Cabinets can be finished in 24ct gold, 18ct rose gold, platinum or ruthenium, or painted to RAL and NCS colours.
Who owns it and where it's made
Houchmand Audio is an independent company led by its founder. The M1 System is designed and handcrafted in Germany, and each unit is built to order.
