Design | - the Philosophy
Having worked with Raidho speakers for more than 12 years, we found ourselves faced with a completely
new challenge when we started to design a new range of high-performance speakers for the Scansonic
brand.
From the start, we were very focused on building on all the experiences and strengths obtained from
designing the Raidho speakers. At the same time, we also had to be aware of the long heritage and the
Nordic design tradition of the Scansonic brand. This time, the task also came with a budget and a desire to
create the very best possible within financial limits. It was clear to us from the very beginning, that some
core techniques from the Raidho speakers would be of importance:
The speakers had to be designed around a ribbon tweeter that works with a super lightweight diaphragm
which is sealed around the edges to allow for a seamless transition to the midrange region. Furthermore,
they needed to be designed and developed with a speaker driver with a ridged, pistonic-type membrane.
Developing and building these speakers in Denmark has been a tremendous task with quite a long duration.
We are very glad that a fantastic team effort made it possible - the result makes us proud.

New generation Scansonic MB:
The New B versions have been upgraded and optimized in almost all areas:
Cabinets: The internal construction has been changed, in order to optimize airflow which combined with the
minimalistic use of damping-material has created a very dynamic and linear low frequency
reproduction.
The old acoustically vented cabinets have now been replaced with a ported cabinet, which is
tuned for optimal impulse response - resulting in a more linear, dynamic and detailed low-end
reproduction, while at the same time making in-room placement of the speaker much easier and
versatile.
Drivers: The woofer and midrange drivers, have been fitted with a new low loss spider which greatly
improves the dynamic capabilities as well as expanding the frequency response in the bass region.
- A very nice side effect of this is that the break-in period has been reduced greatly
(around 100 hours).
Crossover: The crossovers have been completely redesigned. This has resulted in a much more linear and
natural sound, which is clearly visible throughout the whole line.
The crossover has been designed to time-align all drive units at listening distance - The result is
a speaker which not only presents a big and precise soundstage - it also boasts a timing that will
make your foot tap and put a big smile on your face!
