Turkish audio equipment manufacturer Telegrapher has introduced the Rhino reference monitors. The Telegrapher Rhino speakers, made using a three-way scheme, use a 12.5″ woofer and an additional 7″ speaker for the upper bass, guaranteeing operation from 20 Hz.
A 7″ driver is responsible for the midrange frequencies in the Telegrapher Rhino, while the high frequencies are voiced by a 1″ tweeter. The model is made in a sealed box design and is equipped with a built-in Class D amplification of 2 x 500 W and a hybrid analog crossover. Of the inputs, 1 XLR and 1 RCA (selectable) are available.
According to Emre Telci, Telegrapher’s CTO, the speakers are made with incredible pedantry and attention to every detail and provide natural, uncolored sound reproduction.

The Danish company Gryphon Audio, known for its reference High-End amplifiers and other equipment, has released its first MC-cartridge for vinyl record players for the first time in 40 years. The pickup took the basic design from the Ortofon MC Diamond – but Gryphon Audio specialists made significant changes.
The Wattson Audio Madison AMPLIFIER integrated amplifier is presented – created in cooperation with CH Precision. The model has an input impedance of 100 kOhms and operates in the widest frequency band from 1 to 400,000 Hz. With a 120 dB signal-to-noise ratio and distortion of less than 0.05%, the output power reaches 2 x 50 W per 8 ohm speaker and increases to 2 x 100 W per 2 ohm load.
The SME Model 35 turntable replaces the Model 30 in the company’s lineup; the expensive unit (priced at £35,999 in black or silver, or £37,999 in Midnight and Gunmetal anodised finishes) features a radically redesigned suspension – now using a three- columns design with upgraded vibration-decoupling feet.
SME has unveiled its new Model 8 turntable, which the company says is an “entry ticket” into high-quality analogue sound (available in white, navy or black, with an SME Series 309 tonearm, it will retail for £9,999).
HarmonicDyne has released new wired headphones HarmonicDyne BAROQUE – the model uses large-sized 60 mm dynamic drivers with a metal-ceramic diaphragm. This approach simultaneously minimizes distortion, providing an ideal piston stroke, and guarantees a fast dynamic response.
