er amplifier to drive them – the M5.  Until 
now,  people  had  to  choose  between  sys-
tems  that  had  pleasing  sound  but  lacked 
vitality, or systems with more vitality but 
lacking  natural  sound.    A  new  series  of 
high efficiency speaker drivers is the foun-
dation of Daniel Hertz systems. It is impor-
tant to understand why high efficiency is 
important.  The laws of physics say that the 

lower the efficiency of a speaker, the more 
electrical energy is turned into heat. What-
ever is turned into heat is lost and cannot 
be retrieved with more powerful amplifi-
ers. With Daniel Hertz systems, 1 Watt of 
power produces 100 decibels (dB) of sound 

Overview

Daniel  Hertz  is  dedicated  to  reproducing 
music  with  unprecedented  faithfulness 
and  emotional  impact.  Our  philosophy  is 
based on quality and simplicity. 

Daniel Hertz components are optimized to 
work  together  to  produce  the  most  natu-
ral  sound,  extreme  ease  of  operation,  the 
highest  reliability,  and  classical  design 
which is always pleasing to the eye. Dan-
iel  Hertz  engineers  and  craftspeople  fine 
tune the sonic quality of each component 
with science and the ear. The ultimate test 
is recording a musical event and playing it 
back.  When it truly sounds and feels like 
the  musicians  are  in  the  room,  we  invite 
you to listen for yourself. 

Daniel  Hertz  introduces  a  revolutionary 
breakthrough: the first high efficiency au-
dio systems with extremely natural sound. 
In  addition  to  high  efficiency  speakers, 
Daniel Hertz has developed the ideal pow-

pressure level (SPL). This means that most 
listening levels require only milliWatts of 
power.    With  Daniel  Hertz  systems,  you 
hear the beginnings of notes, the full body 
of  the  sound,  the  details  and  harmonics 
and  the  most  subtle  sounds,  so  you  have 
real  connection  with  what  the  musicians 
are  doing,  and  you  experience  what  they 
intend.
This  result  is  achieved  with  the  Daniel 
Hertz M5  Telikos Mono Reference Power 
Amplifier  with  high  purity  in  the  milli-
Watt region; the Daniel Hertz M6 1 Meg-
Ohms  Preamplifier,  a  new  design  with 
ultra-transparent sound; the Daniel Hertz 
Silver 1 pure silver litz interconnects; and 
Daniel Hertz Premium 500 speaker cable. 

Daniel Hertz components can be used in-
dividually  with  other  equipment.  Those 
searching  for  the  ultimate  listening  ex-
perience  are  invited  to  hear  a  complete 
Daniel  Hertz  system,  the  most  advanced 
audio  achievement  personally  designed 
by Mark Levinson.
