Design and Aesthetics

The Model B embodies the exquisite craftsmanship synonymous with Steinway & Sons. Its black piano finish and sleek lines draw inspiration from Steinway pianos, making it a visually stunning piece. The speaker's structure includes high-quality lacquered side panels and a solid aluminum base plated in gold or chrome, adding to its luxurious appearance.

Dipole Speaker Design

The Model B utilises a dipole speaker concept, where the sound is emitted from both the front and back of the speaker. This design aims to create a natural, open soundstage, akin to how live instruments fill a room with sound. The sides of the speaker are folded back to increase the acoustic width, ensuring the speaker's front and rear radiations are optimally separated.

Woofer Array

Equipped with six 12-inch glass fiber cone woofers (three on the front and three on the back), the Model B boasts an exceptionally large radiating surface. This configuration enables it to produce deep, linear bass down to 25 Hz, while minimising unwanted room reflections due to the dipole design.

Air Motion Transformer Tweeter

The high frequencies are handled by an Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeter, featuring an ultra-thin Kapton diaphragm. This design, combined with powerful neodymium magnets, ensures a clear and distortion-free performance even at high volume levels, maintaining the integrity of intricate musical details.

Quad-Amplification System

The Model B is designed to work with the Steinway & Sons Model A2 amplifier, which provides true quad-amplification with 4 x 400 watts. This ensures each driver section receives precisely the power it needs, resulting in accurate and dynamic sound reproduction across the entire frequency range.

RoomPerfect™ Room Correction

When paired with Steinway & Sons amplification, the Model B benefits from RoomPerfect™ technology. This room correction system measures the acoustic properties of the room and adjusts the speaker output accordingly, ensuring optimal performance regardless of room shape or size.

Integrated System Approach

Steinway & Sons products are designed to function seamlessly within an integrated system. The Model B, when combined with other Steinway & Sons components such as the Model A2 amplifier, benefits from a fully digital signal path and precise control. This integrated approach ensures consistent high-quality performance and simplifies the setup process.

Applications

Home Theater: In home theater setups, the Model B delivers immersive soundscapes with precise dialogue, detailed sound effects, and robust bass. Its dipole design helps create an expansive soundstage, making it an ideal choice for cinematic experiences.

High-Fidelity Stereo: For stereo music listening, the Model B provides a full-range audio experience with deep bass, clear midrange, and articulate highs. Its ability to reproduce sound with high fidelity makes it perfect for audiophiles seeking an exceptional music playback system.

Custom Installations: The versatility and customisable finishes of the Model B make it suitable for various high-end installations, including luxury homes, yachts, and professional studios. Its elegant design and top-tier performance ensure it enhances any space both acoustically and aesthetically.
