The B18 loudspeaker has been developed as a 2½-way bass reflex speaker with a front-firing design and is a universal sound talent: space-saving, yet at the same time extremely musical and dynamically thrilling.
Speakers priced as a pair.
OVERVIEW
The high-frequency reproduction benefits from the ring radiator which is custom-made for Burmester and guarantees optimum clarity and resolution. The low-mid and mid-low drivers are a derivative on the basis of the proven chassis which has already earned the B10 compact speaker an impressive sound performance. The highly complex frequency crossover sits in an isolated enclosure chamber, just like the low-mid driver whose own sealed compartment yields an outstandingly clean mid-frequency performance.
FEATURES
Design
The B18 loudspeaker presents itself in a modern and at the same time timeless design. The housing is optionally available with surfaces in high-gloss macassar, high-gloss dark walnut or high-gloss black with black anodized front elements. With a housing in white high gloss or light walnut high gloss, the loudspeaker comes with silver anodized front elements. A completely newly developed, computer-calculated spring-mass damping system ensures optimal decoupling of the loudspeaker and makes it extremely resistant to floor vibrations. The massive and particularly torsion-resistant aluminum-MDF sandwich front, in conjunction with the housing optimized by means of FEM analysis, ensures accurate, precise bass reproduction and significantly reduces the resonance of the housing.
Handmade
In addition to the mechanical damping by a foam cylinder, the B18 loudspeaker has a bass switch to adapt the bass reproduction to the spatial conditions and personal listening taste. This creates various options for adjusting the sound pressure level in the bass range.
