In the mid-'90s, under the banner 'faith comes through hearing', Malcolm Hill designed the PowerCube,[2] a compact self-powered speaker. He has continued development throughout the 21st century and has now produced the M9DX.[3]

The M-series speakers systems have been used for many high–profile global events: M2 Gary Numan, M3 Saxon, M4 Live Aid,[4] AC/DC,[5] Monsters of Rock, M6 AHA, Status Quo, "Rock till you drop", Frankie goes to Hollywood, B52s

Malcolm has recently started a new company called Hill Pro Audio.[6]
