MBL – The Radialstrahler Principle

The basic configuration of a Radialstrahler loudspeaker is not dissimilar to that of a conventional loudspeaker. Both consist of several drivers, each of which reproduces the different frequency ranges. The classic MBL 101 is a 4-way loudspeaker with 4 different drivers for the different frequency ranges: tweeter, midrange, woofer and subwoofer.

But while the individual drivers of a conventional loudspeaker radiate funnel-shaped sound in one direction, a Radialstrahler loudspeaker uses proprietary radiating drivers. As a result, the loudspeaker emits the sound waves in a dynamic concentric swell of 360 degrees.
