World’s first fully carbon-fiber reference monitor, engineered specifically for live sound professionals, touring engineers, and demanding production environments
Being unveiled at The NAMM Show 2026, Carbon Fox is a refined evolution of Telegrapher’s original Fox monitor, re-engineered with a fully carbon-fiber enclosure using constrained-layer damping (CLD) technology. The result is a lighter, stiffer, and more inert cabinet that preserves the trusted Fox reference while standing up to the rigors of life on the road.
Born from Touring Reality
Carbon Fox was developed directly from real-world use by Marc Carolan, front-of-house engineer for major international touring acts including Muse and Snow Patrol, who has traveled extensively with Foxes as his reference monitors.
“The time pressures in modern live production mean having a trusted pair of reference monitors is invaluable,” said Carolan. “I was already relying on the Fox, but I wanted something even more rugged and road-ready. Carbon Fox delivers that. It stays honest, no matter how tough the environment.”
These touring demands became the foundation for Carbon Fox.“Carbon Fox exists because we listen to working engineers,” said Erce Kaslioglu, Founder & CEO of Telegrapher Speakers. “This project wasn’t about making something exotic. It was about making something dependable—something that stays inert, stable, and truthful under demanding conditions. We leveraged carbon-fiber expertise from our sister company, MATA Automotive, to deliver something unprecedented for the music industry.”
Carbon Fiber, Purposefully Applied
The Carbon Fox enclosure is built entirely from carbon fiber using constrained-layer damping, resulting in a 30% reduction in weight while dramatically increasing rigidity. This construction minimizes panel vibration and stored energy, allowing the drivers to operate without cabinet-induced coloration.
“The enclosure disappears, and that’s the goal,” said Emre Telci, Founder & Chief Designer. “Carbon-fiber composite enclosures allow extremely high stiffness with low mass. When combined with proper damping strategies, this significantly reduces panel flex and stored energy, keeping resonances well controlled and preserving clarity and transient accuracy even at high levels.”
Carbon Fox retains Telegrapher’s pure analog signal path, including fully analog crossovers refined through extensive tuning to ensure seamless driver integration, high headroom, and low distortion.
Built for Touring, Tuned for Truth
“What I get from Carbon Fox is confidence,” Carolan added. “It tells me the truth quickly, and I trust it. That’s everything when you’re making decisions that affect thousands of people in a room.”
Carbon Fox is available in matte and glossy finishes. The matte version offers a subtle, studio-focused appearance, while the glossy finish highlights the carbon-fiber structure for a more expressive, high-contrast look. Both finishes share identical construction and acoustic performance.
An optional protective grill is available, acoustically designed with a high open-area perforation pattern to preserve balance, clarity, and transient response while providing added protection for touring use.
Debuting at NAMM 2026
Carbon Fox will make its official public debut at The NAMM Show, January 22–24, 2026, at Telegrapher’sBooth 15122, alongside the company’s full lineup of studio and reference monitors.
