{"product_id":"scansonichdmb3-5bwh1","title":"Scansonic HD MB3.5 B Floorstanding Speaker, Walnut (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, here in genuine walnut wood veneer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe warm wood surface takes any coolness away from the technically ambitious column – a speaker that doesn't look like a studio piece in your living room, but sounds like one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the MB3.5 B?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScansonic HD belongs, like Raidho, to the Danish manufacturer Dantax – hence the ribbon tweeter with its clamped foil diaphragm for silky highs. Two 4.5-inch carbon mid-woofers and two side-firing 6.5-inch woofers deliver depth from a narrow cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe walnut veneer is genuine wood and explains the premium over the painted versions. The technology and tuning are identical – you get the same MB3.5 B in a warmer look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTight, deep bass down to 27 Hz, clear mids and finely resolved highs on a large, stable soundstage. The MB3.5 B stays controlled and clean even with plenty of low end. The narrow front is deceptive – it sounds big and assured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe side-firing woofers spread the bass evenly through the room and make the slim cabinet sound bigger than it looks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the MB3.5 B suited for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor listeners who want depth, audiophile ambition and a warm natural material – in medium to large rooms. Ideal with a powerful integrated amplifier or streaming amplifier. Plain talk: the side-firing woofers want distance from side walls, otherwise the bass becomes too dominant. In very small rooms it plays below its level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe walnut version is the most homely MB3.5 B – identical in sound, warmer in looks. fairaudio classified the model as bass-strong but never a mere boom box. We at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil advise you on placement and amplifier so it can show its potential.\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 walnut (genuine wood veneer)\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\u003eWhy does the walnut version cost more?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it's genuine wood veneer rather than paint. Natural wood is more elaborate to select and process, and every grain is unique. In sound, the walnut version is identical to black and white – the premium is purely in the finish.\u003c\/p\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 price applies to both speakers.

This gives you depth and level from a slim cabinet.
