MBL 101 XTRM : Speaker
The crown jewel of MBL’s legendary product line, the 101 X-Treme system never fails to astonish – in looks or sound. Our flagship transducer is comprised of two six-foot tall towers that each house a pair of MBL’s iconic Radialstrahler omni systems, flanked by another pair of six-foot subwoofer towers to create an extreme four tower system. Beyond their aural purity and objet d’art presence, each Radialstrahler tower features a pair of MBL’s proprietary high, mid, and low-frequency spherical drivers that capture the inimitable MBL audio signature. Purposefully configured in a stunning vertical mirror array, the 101 X-Tremes distribute sound to every corner of your listening space. Meticulously hand-crafted from carbon fibre, copper, aluminum and magnesium, the revolutionary mirror array allows the 101 X-Treme to project music farther without increasing the volume.
Within each omnidirectional tower are unique driver membranes that deliver micro-precise, lightning-fast movements to produce accurate, distortion-free sound in all frequency ranges. The massive pair of enclosed subwoofer towers, each loaded with six 12-inch drivers for a total of twelve 12” aluminum cone woofers, plumb the bottommost reaches of your favorite bass lines using a push-push arrangement to perfectly counter any unwanted cabinet resonances. With heavy sandwich-core construction and an eye-watering system weight exceeding one ton, structural transmission of sound doesn’t stand a chance.
Challenging room acoustics? Smoothly managed with passive jumpers on the back panels to fine-tune the bass, midrange and treble. Each subwoofer is designed to be located diagonally behind the crowd-stopping Radialstrahler towers, with the option to stack up to three sections in a classic pillar, or align them horizontally as three individual modules. Extensive control options, including time delay and Q factor of each channel’s sub-bass, overcome virtually all architectural impediments to magnificent, room-filling sound.
From stygian bass notes to the brightest octave treble clef, the MBL 101 X-Treme MKII System represents the pinnacle of pure musical enjoyment – all from a loudspeaker so exquisitely crafted that only twelve systems are produced every year.
