MBL 116F

Radialstrahler Loudspeaker MBL 116 F

When majestic pipe organs deliver their celestial tones to the nave of a church, the sound reverberates, captivates and penetrates the mind, body and soul. Loudspeakers can evoke the same powerful ambiance, but only when designed and built to the most exacting standards.

Enter the MBL 116 F omnidirectional Radialstrahler loudspeaker. This compact 4-way floorstanding speaker offers one pair of push-push lower-mid drivers for the mid bass registers, and a larger pair of push-push woofers at the bottom of a 46 L bass-reflex cabinet to ensure that sound pressure descends effortlessly to the deepest gothic octaves. MBL’s proprietary omnidirectional radial midranges and tweeters brilliantly handle the remainder of the audible frequency range, and beyond. Cabinet resonance and vibrations are diminished by the common-mode operation of the low-mid drivers and woofers, as each pair are braced back-to-back by aluminum rods. The membranes swing in unison and, by doing so, neutralize all mechanical forces that might act upon the walls of the housing, minimizing distortions.

The MBL 116 F – commanding the floor, the ceiling and all space in between with astonishing aural clarity that belies its compact footprint.
