Are your loudspeakers designed by the world?

Introducing the Global Design Project beryllium-domed Be-718s. These captivating, high performance monitor speakers are engineered with the finest hand-picked components sourced from around the world. We always look for the absolute best price/performance ratio from our suppliers wherever they are, creating real value for you. Our Global Design Project is the key to the Be-718's Amazing Sound and Surprising Value!

The Be-718 story begins with MusikMatters' CEO Atul Kanagat visiting high-end dealers to learn what their customers really wanted. It seemed clear that everyone's looking for easy-to-place great sounding monitor speakers that look as beautifully finished as they sound. Plus one other small thing: They have to offer outstanding value! That's not asking too much, is it? Atul worked closely with Usher, and in a surprisingly short time, the latest addition to the Usher Dancer line appeared, the Tiny Dancers!

Just how global is our design project? The high technology drivers, crossovers, and perfectly timed-aligned cabinets are designed and built by Mr. Tsai Lien Shui at Usher Taiwan, with finishing cosmetics supplied by a firm in the United Kingdom. Dr. Joseph D'Appolito, Usher's long-serving technical consultant, provides crossover tuning here in the 'States. Crossover parts and JPS Labs internal wiring are made in the USA. Design wizard Danny Richie, of Texas based GR-Research, boosts the stock crossover's performance to unprecedented levels by selecting premium crossover parts, altering parts values, re-tuning baffle step compensation and smoothing out the speaker's vertical off axis response.

The Be-718s feature beautifully-crafted and lustrously-finished cabinets plus advanced beryllium oxide tweeters for smoothly extended highs. A new mid-woofer controls and articulates the bass, providing a solid foundation for an open and inviting midrange. The integration, extension, solidity, speed and clarity of the Be-718s uncover low-level detail usually lost in the noise floor of less resolving speakers. They are certainly one of the finest and most satisfying values on the market today.
