Jonathan Gilmore
The Rocks are the only speakers I truly trust. They're a pleasure to listen to, but sufficiently accurate that you make informed decisions. I've been working on them for a decade and can't imagine that changing any time soon!
Dan Grech-Marguerat
The Boulders have really changed my mixing perspective. I’ve never found a pair of speakers with such a clear top end and true low end.
They have fantastic midrange accuracy without being overly flattering. Showing up every detail they’ve become an integral part of my mixing process.
Alessandro Venturella
The moment I got the Mini-Boulders plugged in and referenced to some of my favourite tracks, I knew that I made the right choice in studio monitors. Amazing clarity, but with a punchy low end. This has made my writing process much more enjoyable.
Linden Jay
Ever since I shared a studio with a friend a while ago who owned a pair of Rock MkII’s, I caught the Unity Audio bug and they’ve become my go-to monitoring! They have such a flat and honest sound, they instantly expose gaps or clashes in the mix and they really helped me gain more control over my mixes.
Marco Dal Lago
I can absolutely say that the MK-IIIs have a fullness of sound and a really firm and solid response, as well as an incredible depth. This suited me perfectly, especially for the new musical productions of recent years in which mixes have undergone a strong increase in low frequencies demand. Electronic arrangements in particular require a type of monitor that knows how to keep really powerful and full mixes in every sound spectrum.
John Leckie
The Mini Rocks are now my favourite monitor. The sound picture just sits in front of you revealing its detail with full precision. I’ve never heard a small monitor like this that is so precise in detail and tone at all listening volumes.

They didn’t disappoint and we bought three of them!”
Michael Brauer
"Today I put the Lisson Grove on the vocal, yesterday I put it on the acoustic and the day before I put it on the bass. If i'm gonna spend good money on a compressor it can't be a one trick pony. There's a few ponies running around in this baby."

the best I’ve heard.“
Mike Crossey

un-hyped and true. They are very impressive indeed.

The Rocks just get me there so much quicker,
I’d say they save me two hours a day mixing so
they actually help me get more sleep!”

“When I first got them it was a revelation, its what
I’ve been looking for but I’ve never been able to
find in a near-field monitor. Before The Rocks I was
always going back to the usual NS10’s, but now
I’m so confident in The Rocks I’m finally putting
the NS10’s out to pasture.”
