MBL 101E MKII

101 E MKII Omni-directional Loudspeaker – the "Radialstrahler"

Its magnificent contours alone tell a story of passion; a tale focused on cutting-edge technology, a transformative way to enjoy music, and the origin of an iconic brand.

Distinguished by its large, melon-shaped aluminum and magnesium alloy radial woofer, the 101 E MKII is a proven, legitimate successor to the original MBL speaker – the legendary MBL 100 – launched in 1979. Known then, and now, as the Radialstrahler (radial emitter), this convention-defying omnidirectional speaker enriched musical playback with revolutionary sound reproduction. The audio world was amazed, first and foremost, by its avant-garde design, then astonished when it evenly distributed the sweetest of harmonics and deepest of bass notes throughout listening rooms. Never before had the realm of hi-fi seen a transducer with such a distinctive shape…or impact!
