Overview

Hitmaker MT Studio Monitor Speaker Kit with Knock-Down Cabinet

Hitmaker MT Studio Monitor Speaker Kit with Knock-Down Cabinet

Paul Carmody designed the Hitmakers as a straightforward DIY speaker that any home recording studio owner can assemble and expect great results. The Hitmakers have just enough resolution and detail for critical listening without becoming fatiguing. Imaging is precise for such a small speaker and the soundstage allows for natural placement of sounds. In addition, the bass extension is deeper than what you get from most nearfield monitors, which might come in handy for some musicians and producers.

 This kit includes nearly everything you need to build a top-notch speaker in no time flat, including: a knock-down cabinet, drivers, port, damping material, and crossover components.

  • Remarkably flat response, ±3 dB from 45-20,000 Hz
  • The Hitmaker delivers an incredible level of detail with precise imaging
  • Simple instruction manual makes anybody a speaker builder instantly

About the Driver


Paul chose the drivers for the Hitmaker due to their low distortion and accurate response. The Dayton Audio DA175-8 7" aluminum cone woofer handles the lower octaves, delivering surprising bass response with incredible accuracy. 

About the Tweeters


For the top few octaves this kit uses the Peerless by Tymphany BC25TG15-04 1" silk dome tweeter, which is both accurate and detailed without being harsh.

About the Cabinet


The solid 3/4" MDF enclosure panels are all CNC milled to tight tolerances ensuring easy assembly. The finished enclosure includes a center brace tying all sides together minimizing cabinet resonances. Recesses for flush mounting the drivers and the opening for the port are pre-cut making assembly a snap.
