Product Description

The Graham LS4/4F designed by Derek Hughes, is a development from our work with the LS5/5.

The LS5/5 was a studio speaker designed for large studio rooms at the BBC, and we wanted to include a speaker with similar dynamics for smaller sized domestic rooms.

Derek Hughes redesigned the LS5/5 and scaled it down using the same tweeter and mid-range driver but using a smaller bass diver (270mm).

The slotted system remains as it gives a superb focus, sound stage and increased sweet spot.

The design adheres to the BBC thin wall principle and again as all Graham Audio products is studio grade.

Inspired by the legendary LS5/5, the Graham LS4/4F loudspeaker brings studio-level performance into smaller domestic spaces. Designed by renowned audio engineer Derek Hughes, this model builds on Graham Audio’s commitment to authentic sound reproduction using BBC-approved design principles.

Adapted from BBC studio heritage

The LS5/5 was originally developed for large studio rooms at the BBC. To make that performance accessible in home environments, Derek Hughes reimagined the design for more compact spaces while preserving its core acoustic DNA.

  • Same tweeter & midrange drivers: Retains the trusted components from the LS5/5 for consistent tonal character.
  • Downsized bass driver: A newly selected 270mm bass unit ensures powerful low-end without overwhelming smaller rooms.
  • Enhanced dynamics: Designed to maintain the musical energy and precision of its larger sibling.

Advanced slot-loaded design

Just like the LS5/5, the LS4/4F features Graham Audio’s distinctive slotted baffle system. This approach improves stereo imaging and widens the sweet spot, delivering a more immersive listening experience across the room.

  • Wider soundstage: Expands the listening area without sacrificing clarity or detail.
  • Focused presentation: Ensures vocals and instruments stay well-defined, even off-axis.

Thin-wall cabinet construction

Following the classic BBC thin-wall principle, the LS4/4F uses lightweight but rigid panels to reduce unwanted resonances. This design contributes to its clean, natural sound and exceptional transparency.

  • Studio-grade build: As with all Graham Audio products, quality materials and craftsmanship ensure durability and high performance.
  • Authentic BBC engineering: Faithfully follows the acoustic principles pioneered by British broadcast engineers.

The Graham LS4/4F offers the precision of a studio monitor and the warmth suited for home enjoyment. Whether you’re a serious listener or an audiophile collector, this speaker connects you to the music with honesty and intimacy.

About us

Graham Audio is a family-owned British company based in Newton Abbot, a small market town in Devon, south-west England. We are passionate about high-quality audio and believe that the classic BBC loudspeaker designs offer levels of neutrality, transparency and realism that are hard to find elsewhere today. Using modern components and production techniques we have been able to push the performance while remaining true to the original designs.

We might be small, but we are proud to work with some of the best talent in the industry, including Derek Hughes and Volt Loudspeakers. Our loudspeaker systems are available throughout the world from carefully selected outlets who have full demonstration facilites, and will support you through the selection and setting up process.

All loudspeakers are hand-assembled on-site. One person is responsible for every step of each loudspeaker made, which includes testing and auditioning. A second person double-checks the completed product, repeating the testing as a matter of course and saving the results for future reference. As part of the test procedure, all completed loudspeakers are compared to our master reference samples to ensure complete consistency.

Company History

The company was founded by Paul Graham, who has spent more than 20 years working in all areas of professional audio, including the recording and broadcast industries, and in live sound and performance. Of all the different approaches, Paul has always favoured the "BBC sound" for both professional and personal applications, but feared that many of the classic designs would be lost forever as one by one the surviving examples gradually failed after many decades of operation. A couple of chance meetings and some long conversations later, it was decided that the only way to preserve this legacy was to seek BBC approval to build them himself.

Happily, our debut loudspeaker - the BBC LS5/9 - was warmly received by reviewers and owners alike, and the BBC LS5/8 and BBC LS3/5 have been equally successful. In addition, our range of bespoke loudspeakers include a high power, high quality passive monitor primarily intended for live sound (the SYSTEM3D) - and from that research programme the floor-standing VOTU was born. The new Chartwell LS6 sits between the LS3/5 and LS5/9, and gives nothing away to those models in terms of dynamics and musical insight.
