HD-1  (1989)

High definition audio monitor
From Meyer Sound website:
The HD-1 marked a revolution in the field of studio monitoring. The first two-way device capable of an almost ideal impulse response — free from the phase distortions typical of conventional two-way systems — the HD-1 was also the company's first truly self-powered product, as the engineering team quickly realized that their ambitious design goals could be met only by creating an integrated system with all variables taken into account. With its unprecedented resolution of musical detail, the HD-1 quickly won worldwide acceptance among leading record producers, studio engineers, mastering engineers, and recording artists.
The HD-1 was never even intended to be a product; it was designed to be an in-house test source for evaluating microphones. However, in one of audio's many legendary twists of fate, Grammy-winning engineer Roger Nichols (famed for his long association with Steely Dan, among others) visited the Meyer Sound factory, happened to hear the prototype, and relentlessly implored John Meyer to make and loan him a pair to use mixing Rickie Lee Jones's Flying Cowboys album. Things took off from there. Well over 15 years later, orders continue to be filled for the HD-1.
