{"product_id":"scansonic-hd-mb5-b-standlautsprecher-schwarz","title":"Scansonic HD MB5 B Floorstanding Speaker, Black (Pair)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Scansonic HD MB5 B is a slim 2.5-way floorstanding speaker with a ribbon tweeter, a dedicated midrange driver and three carbon woofers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn silky matte black it stays visually calm – until three woofers show that this is a full-grown floorstanding speaker, not a slender column.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the MB5 B?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScansonic HD belongs, like Raidho, to the Danish manufacturer Dantax, and the ribbon tweeter comes from that same family: featherlight foil diaphragm, silky highs without harshness. New in the MB5 B is a dedicated 5.25-inch midrange driver that decouples the midrange from the bass – below it work three carbon woofers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis concept gives the MB5 B plenty of cone area and clean mids at the same time. The curved, heavily braced cabinet with adjustable aluminium feet keeps resonances low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA large, effortless reproduction with bass extension down to 29 Hz, clearly separated mids and transparent highs. The MB5 B plays dynamic and controlled, even at higher levels. With 90 dB sensitivity it's easy to drive and never sounds strained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three woofers deliver pressure and foundation without overshadowing the fine midrange driver – so the soundstage stays open and well organised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the MB5 B suited for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor medium to large rooms and listeners who want true floorstanding-speaker sound with reserves. Ideal with a good integrated amplifier or streaming amplifier. Plain talk: in a tiny room the MB5 B is oversized – that's what the smaller models in the series are for. If you take stereo seriously and like to turn it up sometimes, this is the right choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MB5 B is the point where the MB series turns from a fine slim speaker into a full-fledged high-end floorstanding speaker. i-fidelity.net, LowBeats and HiFi News have praised it consistently. We at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil help you find the right amplifier and placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5-way floorstanding speaker, bass reflex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e black silk matte\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrivers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1× ribbon tweeter, 1× 5.25″ midrange driver, 3× 5.25″ carbon woofer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 29 Hz – 40 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt; 4 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrossover:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250 Hz + 2600 Hz \/ minimum phase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCabinet:\u003c\/strong\u003e curved, heavily braced, vented, with adjustable aluminium feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W×H×D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 178 × 1185 × 319 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 kg per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e not included – matching magnetic \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/scansonic-hd-mb5-b-frontgrill-schwarz\"\u003efront grille\u003c\/a\u003e (fabric, black) available separately as an accessory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScope of delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e one pair of speakers (2 units)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the price for a pair or a single unit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MB5 B is sold in pairs, and the stated price applies to both speakers. As a floorstanding speaker it needs no stands. That gives you your complete stereo pair in one purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the MB5 B and the MB3.5 B?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MB5 B has its own midrange driver and three forward-firing woofers instead of the side-mounted arrangement. This brings a bit more headroom and a different tuning. Which model suits your room better, we're happy to discuss with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow powerful does the amplifier need to be?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 90 dB sensitivity, the MB5 B is easy to drive; a good integrated amplifier or streaming amplifier is entirely sufficient. Clean, stable power delivers more in the bass than sheer wattage. Which chain suits you, we'll figure out together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat room size suits the MB5 B?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest in medium to large rooms from about 25 square metres. In very small rooms it's oversized, where the smaller MB models are sufficient.
