The M1 Delta is the end game for the serious music lover who is not limited by considerations of price or size.
The Daniel Hertz M1 Delta system is in a class of its own. The capabilities of the Daniel Hertz M1 Delta are mind blowing, even to the most experienced audio experts. The bi-amplified M1 reproduces recordings of any kind of music – from the most delicate to the most powerful - with accuracy beyond any other system regardless of cost or size.
The M1 Delta works well in normal living rooms from 4.5m x 5.5m. Despite it’s large size, it provides an intimate listening experience that makes you forget about audio equipment entirely. The Daniel Hertz M1 Delta comes close to reproducing the actual experience of music in live performance. Comparing the M1 to any other system is like comparing the performance of an F1 car to a family sedan.

Efficiency
There are only two things possible with electrical energy – turn it into acoustic output or heat. The lower the efficiency the more of the recording becomes heat and lost. Almost every high end audio speaker has low efficiency in the range of 82dB to 89 dB (1W/8 ohms/1 meter).
The M1 Delta’s high efficiency of close to 100dB turns more amplifier energy into sound so you hear more of the recording. The sound of the M1 Delta with Maria 800 is completely effortless with recordings of all repertoire and genres from the most delicate and soft to the most powerful, with no audible compression or distortion at up to 128db SPL.
The M1’s 18” woofer, with an exceptionally low resonant frequency, delivers flat response at full power down to 20Hz. No speaker on the market has this combination of natural sound, superb imaging, high efficiency, deep bass, smooth frequency response across the audio band, and dynamic range.

The M1 Delta is a no-compromise, timeless design.
The M1 Delta speaker cabinet is hand built near Venice, Italy by dedicated craftsmen using the finest art grade plexiglass, made in EU. This type of plexiglass is chosen for it’s non-resonant characteristics, so there is no “box” sound– the music is in the air.
The shape of the cabinet is determined by the properties of the material, which are best utilized as flat panels, thus the minimalist form-follows-function form factor.
This type of plexiglass has 2.5 times the mass and 10 times the cost of wood, and is extremely challenging to work with. The M1 Delta is not suited to mass production, they are built one at a time.
Massive construction with complex internal bracing enables the best performance from the compression driver tweeter, 12” woofer and 18” subwoofer, all hand built in Italy.
The M1 Delta speaker includes Daniel Hertz in-house made speaker connectors that provide the best possible signal transmission, eliminating the solder joints and metal terminations found in typical speaker cables. Brass plates sandwich the copper wire, tightened with Delrin caps and a Daniel Hertz tightening tool that rests on the rear panel of the Maria 800.
M1 Delta drivers
The M1 Delta uses custom made exclusive drivers, built in Italy, with pro audio muscle, designed to reproduce the sound of music in live performance venues. No high end audio speakers use drivers with this capability. The size, cost, cabinet requirements and the need for bi-amplification and fine tuning with the Maria 800 make the M1 Delta a boutique product above the existing market.
The M1 Delta 18” woofer of the M1 Delta is a high efficiency design (98dB/1W/1m) that can take up to 4000W of power and generate over 132dB SPL. With a resonant frequency of 20Hz, it has flat frequency response to 20Hz. The crossover point is 80Hz.
The M1 Delta 12” woofer of the M1 Delta is 100dB efficient and reproduces signals from 80Hz to 2kHz. It is driven directly from the Maria 800 via the active crossovers enabled in the Mighty Cat software suite. A passive crossover is used between the 12” woofer and the high performance compression driver tweeter, which reproduces signals from 2kHz to 20kHz.
The M1 Delta compression driver tweeter is 100dB efficient and can generate over 130dB SPL, 8 ohms/1W/1m. Tweeter is built with a hand made black finished mahogany wood horn, inset into the plexiglass cabinet front panel.

Vienna Music Room
Live concert sound is amplified with high efficiency speakers because low efficiency speakers cannot take the power or survive the audio demands. Residential audio speakers might sound pleasant, but have no chance of meeting the needs of live performance requirements. The M1 is built with the high efficiency and high power handling required for amplifying live musical events.
The Vienna Music Room in Vienna, Austria, selected the Daniel Hertz M1 system, the earlier model of the M1 speakers, as both the owner's personal listening system and the live sound system for amplification top musicians like Al DiMeola and Stanley Jordan. A pair of M2 (the 12” and tweeter of the M1 without the 18”) are used for the rear channel speakers in the rear of the room. Mark Levinson designed the acoustic treatment in collaboration with the architects, so everyone in the room hears similar tonal balance.

“The M1 Delta is my personal statement in music reproduction.
The M1 Delta is built to a standard, not a price. Like the finest musical instruments, it is hand built for the few who appreciate its true value and can afford it. The M1 Delta is not an industrial product, it is a handmade work of art designed to be used every day and handed down to future generations.”
