The most recognized part of the speakers so far - the blue tweeter and foam (edge diffraction diffuser) makes the monitors look uniquely without any logos.
New York // Ballston Lake
NY (Brooklyn and Ballston Lake) // Greg #jankowicz
Unlike other speaker manufacturers, the decision was made to place the logos on the top side, not to interfere with the unique look and style of the speakers front.
The first customer from Seoul got curious about my speakers when I was just crawling with promoting, I only had 4 photos and 20 followers on instagram (Dec 2019).
Through Instagram he found me on Facebook, read my post #part_1 about the rise of the speakers and wrote to me under one of the photos:

Let's go now to Poland
Polish manufacturers in the field of professional audio are very appreciated in the world.
For example:
I mentioned only a handful of companies, but they are known and respected in every corner of the world - Mexico, USA, Germany, Japan, France, Korea, India, Nigeria, South Africa
... every corner of the planet, there are professional and hobby recording studios everywhere.
Not only that, the products of these companies are some of the best in the respective branches of pro audio!
Here is an example of how one of the most famous sound engineers in the world Bob Katz, mastering Guru, winner of 3 Grammy awards, author of a book and a number of valuable publications about mastering, speaks about Polish company, emphasizing this fact:
link // group "Mastering Engineers Worldwide".
Even if we go back to the middle of the last century, a good example of outstanding achievements of Polish engineers in the audio field is
Stefan Kudelski.
His tape recorders were used on the Moon and at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. The Kudelski Group, a company he founded, produced NAGRA tape recorders. At the end of 1950s the "NAGRA III" model became the basic equipment of radio and television reporters. From the very beginning "NAGRA" tape recorders were distinguished by their compact size, incredibly precise workmanship and at the same time recording studio quality sound. At the same time "Nagra III" made the work of filmmakers so easy that in 1965 Stefan Kudelski received an Oscar for outstanding scientific and technical achievements. He was awarded another statuette in this category in 1978, thanks to the "NAGRA 4.2" tape recorder. In total, the Polish constructor won four Oscars.

I'm still far from global success, and I don't want to invest in traditional marketing so as not to raise the price of the product. I chose a very unusual and difficult way of publicity.
But I have partially succeeded, my speakers are already in South Korea, USA and will soon reach Germany, then Iceland.

I'm still a long way from global success, and I don't want to invest in traditional marketing to avoid raising the price of the product. I chose a very unusual and difficult way to advertise. But I have partially succeeded already. My speakers are already in South Korea and the USA (6850 km left and 7736 km right from Warsaw). And the story of the creation of the brand began with a spectacular blind purchase of my speakers by Damian Pietrasik (Quality studio) //
#part_1
beginning of linearpro™ history initiated in Q3 2018 and kept secret through 2020.
As of 2021, the M+W set (with LDRRad v3.0) has been recognized by many audio engineers as one of the best audio monitors for the studio.
/ class="//zoom-m">
/ face="Quicksand, Arial" >
Who are these
speakers for?
This is not a product for "typical" audiophiles, but for professional mastering & mix sound engineers or fans (music lovers) of true studio sound. Definitely these audio monitors will be most appreciated by mastering engineers!
In Q1 2022, thanks to Radoslaw Bednarek (sound engineer, music producer, musician), model M+W went as a major monitoring facility to another prestigious location in Poland. To a music studio (RB Music) at a school in Laski, which is located on the outskirts of Warsaw on the edge of the Kampinos National Park.
linearpro™ is a direct alternative to such legendary and worldwide respected loudspeakers as the
ATC SCM25A/45A SCM50ASL/100ASL,
PMC IB-1S/2S,
Lipinski L707,
Genelec 1037A/B/C 1038A/B/x 1237A/x 8260A
/ , Neumann K+H O410 & KH420, PSI Audio A25-M, Barefoot MicroMain 27/26 >
...
The story of meeting such legendary people as Andrzej Starzyk (CEO Looptrotter) and others will also tell another time ...
Flagship reference M model
Crafted for professional mastering, mix engineers and music producers.
/ "M" model is flagship reference audio monitoring for studio (Mastering Grade, near-field and mid-field range // from 1.5 to 3.5 meters). >
Precise and transparent, natural tone and balanced frequency response. 100% timeless analog, handcrafted drivers pairing (±¼dB). Sealed enclosure, fast response (QTC0.7) & powerful bass.
/ ------- START: ciemniejszy pasek recenzji ---------- >
The "M" monitors with a cyberAMP v3.1 are great if not the best in their price range and there is no doubt about it.
Jeremiasz Hendzel➜ Then I tried measuring the setup using my Sonarworks Reference set of mic and software - the results were outrageous. The frequency response was really as flat as it gets, differing from the ideal curve by hardly more than 1dB through the most of the audio range.
The model M is a killer monitor which has no real competitors within its price tag.

Catch the opportunity to connect to an amazing story, outstanding speakers and most likely the last ones you will ever need.

One of the examples precision of sound linearpro™ can be heard perfectly clear in "Toxicity" by SOAD. The song is extremely dynamic with multiple layers and parts and they all can be heard clearly throufg the speakers. The quiet parts are lively with no excessive compression, the whispers of Serj can be heard effortlessly throughout the verses and bridge; Same gos for the orchestral parts here and there, coming in full through the end of the song.
/ linearaudio.pro model M v3.0 // >
Definitely one of the best monitors - in a class of its own as legendary Lipinski L-707.
And I really like the lack of DSP - a true analog.
Call me old fashioned.
Damian Pietrasik
#part_1 The best speakers I've had to date. There is no doubt about it. Absolutely brilliant, linear speaker system - this is THE BOMB!
Linear Audio M v2.0 surpass Genelec 1037B. Sound quality is a class higher. Clarity, depth, listening precision in every band.
One of the reasons why the model M speakers are so well suited for use in a recording studio is their ability to produce a more accurate and natural sound compared to other highend monitors.
Once you try it you'll never forget it.
If there is a musical G-spot then linearpro™ model M+W definitely know its location.
I have had the pleasure of working on the PMC IB1S (similar price shelf) that are in the second director Quality Studio (Warsaw) and model M from #linearpro, it's a razor blade for me in comparison.
Eric Kulm Jr.➜

I've never heard anything like this.
These speakers changed my concept of making music.
Every slightest change in eq is audible, taking the understanding of precision to a completely different level.
It's a game changer.
Thank you Marian that I was lucky to meet you and these speakers.
M+W they will be with me for the rest of my life.

All of the infographics and points above (shown on the model S) also apply to model M.
The infographic below is also about the S model.
The M model, in a nutshell, has one more woofer - it improves bass sound pressure by 4 times.
This fact makes the M model to have much powerfull bass.
The woofers are as approximated as possible to the tweeter (LDRRad with time alignment).
This gives a consistent sound emitted almost from a single point.

Colors
Speakers can be ordered in any RAL color. Extreme IP64 semi-matte paint.
It is impossible to produce only certain colors that not meets the capabilities of the manufacturer of IP64 paint, not possible to produce only a few of the very bright/luminous colors.
If you don't want to decide on your own color, I suggest my carefully selected branded colors:
white RAL-9003, grey RAL-7004 or graphite RAL-7024.

"I've always wondered where creators get the courage and tenacity to rise from obscurity to become authorities, as very rarely happens in the world of product design. And how the icons that put them in that place are created. We usually hear these stories after a success. For several years I have been closely following Marian Mlodnicki's efforts to create uncompromising quality speakers that the world will hear about. I firmly believe that we are witnessing the birth of such an iconic product."
Maciej Przemyslaw Wrobel
"Linearpro speakers are very innovative in terms of design. The loudspeakers look simple, but because of that you can trust them. The design is unique yet ascetic. They look like a professional tool.
Something that captivated me about the Lipinski L-707 when I first heard them was the crystal clarity of the sound. I used them for many years. But Marian has highlighted this quality even more in her "M" loudspeakers, making the linearpro™ monitors an ideal tool for mastering.
Marian is an expressive character. He is a true enthusiast, a tireless engineer and optimist, and has created a product appreciated by outstanding professionals."

G³osniki linearpro s¹ bardzo nowatorskie pod wzglêdem designu. Monitory wygl¹daj¹ prosto, ale dziêki temu mo¿na im zaufaæ. Design jest unikatowy a jednoczeœnie ascetyczny. Wygl¹daj¹ jak profesjonalne narzêdzie.
Coœ co mnie urzek³o w Lipinski L-707 gdy pierwszy raz je us³ysza³em to krystaliczna czystoœæ dŸwiêku. U¿ywa³em je przez wiele lat. Ale Marian w swoich g³oœnikach "M" uwypukli³ ten walor jeszcze bardziej, co czyni linearpro g³oœniki idealnym narzêdziem do masteringu.
Marian to wyrazista postaæ. Jest prawdziwym pasjonatem, niestrudzony optymista, stworzy³ produkt doceniany przez wybitnych fachowców.

"I've known Marian Mlodnicki since I was a kid, we were sitting next to each other at school. I jokingly say that my success and talent as a photographer is thanks to energy I received from Marian sitting next to me in the bench :) We renewed contact between us only after a quarter of a century since 1994. I am not surprised by what I see here as well as others write about him and his artwork."

"They looked quite inconspicuous. The casing - very simple, without any spoilers.
An unusual light gray color.
The only distinctive elements were the foam around the tweeter and the blue tip of the tweeter.
No logo or lettering on the front.
Was the ascetic design supposed to give the impression that the whole construction is oriented towards sound?
I would not mind."

"What caught my attention was the front look, it was unique, not like the regular monitors we know of.
You'll always want to have that second look if you're seeing it for the first time.

"When I was going on vacation to Barcelona after a year of hard work on film sets, the first thing I packed in the car was just my linearpro 2.1 set!
Having the IP64/Extreme+ enclosure, I didn't worry that something might happen to them on the trip - I love my loudspeakers.
M+W they will be with me for the rest of my life."

"I was incredibly stunned when I saw the speakers for the first time.
Very well made, weighty and built with high quality materials.
I also had an opportunity to witness part of the process of making one of them, that's how I know that they are created with passion.
As a person who consideres himself as an artist, I can without a doubt call them a piece of modern art.
Marian gave me the opportunity to get to know the model S for the past few weeks.
It was an amazing experience, the music that I thought I knew, turned out to be million times better, the speakers unveiled it's true depth and amazing production."

"The linearpro™ speakers and logo designs are good, very modern and clean, that's a designer by heart for sure.
The "fully analog" signal chain makes the product futureproof. No additional ADC and DAC conversion is key in a pure mastering chain. This is impressive, I can't wait to finally listen to them."

* Look at this speaker on top of the glacier.
Do you recognize it?
Although the graphic consists of very few pixels you can see that it's a linearpro™ model M, white.
Would you recognize any other company's speakers when reduced to such a small size? ;)
