A first look at MBL’s Radialstrahler speakers might make you wonder if they were borrowed from the set of a science-fiction thriller or from an exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art. Each encounter creates new admirers, drawn to the gleaming, sculpted spheres. And once the polished melon shapes fill a room with sparkling, natural sound, admiration turns to disbelief and the inevitable question: Where do those hypnotic notes come from?
MBL Radialstrahlers energize rooms with high-resolution, three-dimensional sound – the music moves, breathes, and envelops listeners as though at a live performance. The unconventional elliptical shapes evoke high art, which is what happens when the science of physics meets cutting-edge technology and brilliant design. The exclusive transducers produce sound waves across the entire frequency spectrum, delivering studio-quality tones and perfectly balanced sound pressure in all directions. Instead of using cone- or dome-shaped membranes that vibrate on a flat plane inside an enclosure, like most conventional forward-radiating speakers, MBL Radialstrahlers employ proprietary radial drivers meticulously produced in our factory. These omnidirectional drive units are handcrafted with numerous petal-like segments that start and stop with lightning-fast precision. Together, they deliver exquisite, whisper-quiet musical passages or the thunderclap power of body-piercing sound – completely free of distorting cabinet resonances.
Best of all, every MBL loudspeaker benefits from our unique radial driver technology. All share the spherical tweeter and midrange, from the petite MBL 126 up to the six-foot-tall, one-ton MBL 101 X-Treme flagship – the ultimate expression of the Radialstrahler principle.
Indulge, enjoy, and pursue your love of music with the 360-degree omnidirectional Radialstrahler loudspeakers.
