Loudspeakers from Denmark, created by Michael Børresen, designer of the renowned Raidho speakers.

We have all three Scansonic models (MB-1, MB-2.5 and MB-3.5) in our showroom. Call or email for an appointment. Come see us at the Newport Beach Show and win a pair MB-1.

The MB-1 is a stand-mount, two-way mini monitor. The main goal was to create a small speaker that does what it does really well. The reflex port is placed in the front and allows for placement near the rear wall. It uses special inlays that reduce noise to an extremely low level. While the speaker is small and stylish, the music performance is lively bright and bold, with a bass performance that defies its compact size.

The MB-1 are available in black-silk and white-silk, the price is $2300/pair, the speaker stands are not included and retail for $1000/pair (dual post stand) or $800/pair (single post stand). We are authorized dealer in the USA.

REVIEWS:

Michael Lang, STEREO magazine (Germany) Mai 2015:
"...a compact whirlwind! Lively, with the finest resolution, easygoing in the positioning and not too picky about the amplifiers used with it or the other environmental influences. A very successful debut..."

Sven Bilen, Jan. 2015, concluded:
"...have I heard better speakers than Scansonic MB-1 for this price? No. Do I want a pair of MB-1? Yes. This is really something you need to consider if you are looking for some really good stand speakers where the price is not sky-high. Here, you get a sound picture you will immediately like, and it all just feels sooo right. A big applause for MB-1!" Check out the entire review

The MB-series features the same good solid, two-way binding post. The feet are machined from aircraft quality aluminum and can be adjusted to level the speaker. For added rigidness, Scansonic added a carbon sheet to the top panel; this, paired with extensive internal bracing, makes the cabinet inert and silent.


Listen to what Michael Børresen himself has to say about his new creation:

Having worked with Raidho speakers for more than 12 years, I found myself faced with a completely new challenge when I was asked to design a new range of high-performance speakers for the Scansonic brand.

From the start, I was very focused on building on all the experiences and strengths obtained from designing the Raidho speakers. At the same time, I also had to be aware of the long heritage and the Nordic design tradition of the Scansonic brand. This time, the task also came with a budget and a desire to create the very best possible within financial limits.

It was clear to me from the very beginning, that some core techniques from the Raidho speakers would be of importance: The speakers had to be designed around a ribbon tweeter that works with at super lightweight diaphragm that is sealed around the edges to allow for a seamless transition to the midrange region.

Furthermore, they needed to be designed and developed with a speaker driver with a ridged, pistonic-type membrane.

WEIGHT LOSS FOR RESOLUTION TRANSIENTS AND SUPERB LEADING EDGES

The MB ribbon tweeter has a membrane with an extremely low mass. It is formed by a Kapton-aluminum sandwich that is only 20 um thick, and the resulting mass is app. 0.03 g., which is approximately 50 times less than any conventional textile, ceramic, beryllium or diamond dome. The lower mass translates directly into higher resolution and less material coloration.

WEAVED CARBON CONES FOR STIFFNESS AND LOW COMPRESSION

For the MB-series, we have developed a ridged, dustcap free, carbon membrane. By carefully optimizing the shape and stiffness, we have succeeded in making a very quiet woofer that blends beautifully with the ribbon tweeter. The woofer has an overhung magnet system, with long linear stroke and excellent bass performance.
