Graham LS5/8S - Chartwell BBC Licensed

A New Take on the Legendary LS5/8

The Graham LS5/8S – Chartwell BBC Licensed is the modern evolution of the BBC’s largest reference monitor. The original LS5/8 was designed for professional broadcasting studios, with a large cabinet for full-range authority. The LS5/8S keeps the soul and performance of the classic LS5/8, but adapts it for domestic and more versatile environments.

The “S” in LS5/8S stands for Slim / Special, highlighting its refined proportions and upgraded engineering. This design offers the power, scale, and neutrality of the LS5/8, but in a form factor that better suits living rooms and high-end home audio systems.

What Makes the LS5/8S Different?

• Reduced cabinet dimensions for easier integration into domestic settings

• Same BBC monitor philosophy: neutral, accurate, and uncolored sound

• Improved aesthetic design, blending studio performance with home elegance

• Maintains the deep bass authority and scale of the LS5/8, but with added flexibility

The LS5/8S proves that you don’t need a full-size studio to experience the ultimate BBC monitor sound.

Performance Without Compromise

Like its predecessor, the LS5/8S delivers:

• Full-range reproduction with impactful yet controlled bass

• Wide dynamic range, effortlessly handling complex recordings

• Superb midrange accuracy for lifelike voices and instruments

• Expansive soundstage that fills larger rooms with ease

It’s the ideal solution for listeners who want the authority of the LS5/8, but in a design optimized for domestic spaces.
