{"product_id":"scansonichdmb3-5bblack","title":"Scansonic HD MB3.5 B Floorstanding Speaker, Black (Pair)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Scansonic HD MB3.5 B is a slim 2.5-way floorstanding speaker with a ribbon tweeter, carbon mid-woofers and two side-firing 6.5-inch woofers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn silky matte black it looks understated – until it shows that it extracts a bass foundation from a narrow front that you'd sooner expect from a cabinet twice as wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the MB3.5 B?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike Raidho, Scansonic HD belongs to the Danish manufacturer Dantax – hence the characteristic ribbon tweeter with its featherlight, clamped foil diaphragm. In the MB3.5 B, two 4.5-inch carbon mid-woofers meet two side-mounted 6.5-inch woofers that keep the cabinet slim while still delivering punch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crossover operates with minimum phase shift and high-quality components. The braced, curved cabinet with adjustable aluminium feet keeps resonances low and provides secure footing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA powerful, dry bass foundation, clear mids and silky, finely resolved highs. The MB3.5 B reaches down to 27 Hz while staying controlled rather than loose. The soundstage is large and stable without the speaker sounding thick – it delivers substance, not gimmickry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe side-firing woofers load the room evenly with bass, which makes the narrow front sound noticeably bigger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the MB3.5 B suited for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor medium to large living rooms and listeners who want genuine depth without bulky cabinets. Ideal with a powerful integrated amplifier or streaming amplifier. Plain talk: because of the side-firing woofers it needs some distance to side walls, otherwise the bass becomes too pronounced – in a very small room you're giving away its potential. For genre diversity from classical to rock it's a rewarding all-rounder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MB3.5 B is the point in the series where a slim floorstander turns into a full-grown bass foundation – without sacrificing precision. fairaudio classed it as bass-strong but by no means a mere boom box. We at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil help you with placement and amplifier choice so it plays clean rather than boomy.\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 (front port), side-firing woofers\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, 2× 4.5″ carbon mid-woofer, 2× 6.5″ woofer (side-firing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27 Hz – 40 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt; 5 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 89 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrossover:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 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 × 1138 × 286 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24.5 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-mb3-5-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 MB3.5 B is sold in pairs, and the listed price is for both speakers.

This brings depth and level without widening the cabinet.
