The M15.2 standmount, M20.2 floorstander, and M30.2 floorstander each exhibit ScansonicHD’s celebrated craftsmanship and blending of Danish design. The DNA and high end pedigree from sister brand Raidho is clearly audible.

A recent anecdote at an audio show exemplifies the M series’ extraordinary price-to-performance ratio. When one listener said, “The speakers sound great, but for EUR 20.000 they are a bit too expensive,” our team responded with a smile, “I agree, but the speakers only cost EUR 2.600 for a pair!” This perfectly captures our mission to bring the best in Danish design and innovation to passionate music lovers — without the premium price tag.”

The Ribbon Tweeter Advantage

All M series models feature a ribbon tweeter, chosen for its superior
performance over traditional dome tweeters. Ribbon tweeters have
a much lower moving mass, allowing them to respond more quickly
and accurately to high-frequency transients. This results in:

  • Exceptional Detail: Capturing delicate nuances in vocals and
    instruments
  • Airy Highs: Maintaining an open, spacious top-end without
    harshness
  • Fast Transient Response: Translating into lifelike reproduction
    of cymbals, strings, and other upper-register sounds

By minimizing distortion and maintaining clarity at all listening
levels, the ribbon tweeter becomes a cornerstone of the M series’
highly musical presentation.

Advanced 4-Material Cone Composition

The M series mid-bass drivers use a specialized 4-material cone to
achieve a delicate balance of strength, rigidity, and elasticity. This
unique design offers:

  • High Strength & Rigidity: Providing stability under demanding
    passages without flexing
  • Good Elasticity & Dynamic Recovery: Allowing the cone to
    respond quickly and return to its resting position with minimal lag
  • Excellent Internal Damping: Absorbing distortion from split
    vibrations, leading to a smoother frequency response curve
  • Seamless Integration: Ensuring accurate, natural playback
    across mid and low frequencies

Innovative Rear-Facing Passive Radiators

Instead of a traditional bass reflex port, each M series speaker
employs rear-facing passive drivers (or passive radiators). Key
benefits include:

  • Tighter, Controlled Bass: Passive radiators naturally handle low
    frequencies more precisely, contributing to a cleaner low-end
    reproduction
  • Enhanced Placement Flexibility: The M series’ passive design
    performs consistently in a variety of room sizes and layouts
  • Reduced Port Noise: Eliminating common chuffing and
    turbulence issues associated with bass reflex ports

These rear-mounted passive radiators extend and reinforce the bass
output, enabling each speaker model to achieve remarkable depth
and impact without overpowering the overall tonal balance.

Premium Crossover Components

The quality of the crossover is absolutely key to final quality of the
sound the speaker produced. Even so, many manufacturers only
construct mediocre ones in the price class. ScansonicHD has gone
above and beyond to achieve true high end sound. By utilizing
high-grade capacitors, inductors, and resistors usually reserved for
significantly more expensive loudspeakers, the M series achieves:

  • Minimal Signal Loss: Preserving the purity of the audio signal
    for truer musicality
  • Improved Phase Alignment: Ensuring drivers work
    harmoniously, resulting in a cohesive, immersive soundstage
  • Exceptional Durability and Consistency: Maintaining
    performance integrity over time, regardless of listening levels

This meticulous attention to crossover design and component
quality drives the M series’ standout transparency, imaging, and
tonal balance.

Precision Engineering Meets Danish Design

ScansonicHD has long been recognized for its meticulous approach
to engineering and design. Every detail—from cabinet bracing
to crossover networks—undergoes extensive research and
testing. Coupled with the clean lines and understated elegance
characteristic of Scandinavian aesthetics, the M series loudspeakers
strike an ideal balance between form and function.

Availability

All three models in the new M series—M15.2, M20.2, and M30.2—
are available through authorized ScansonicHD dealers worldwide
from around April 2025. All models are available in black or white
satin gloss finish.
