“With the new se editions we have improved the performance of the critically acclaimed IB2, MB2 and BB5 models
even further, so the most discerning of audiophiles can delve deeper into the heart of the music and experience
the purest essence of the artist’s intentions, capturing that moment in time from the studio.”
Pure audio indulgence
The IB2’s roots lie in the professional studio realm, where it has
become the reference for the world’s leading music-makers
and producers, including Kraftwerk, Japan’s premier studio JVC,
and Teldex of Berlin, who record for the premier classical label
Deutsche Grammophon.

Sound quality is second to none, as you would expect from a speaker with the professional reference
pedigree of the IB2, MB2 and BB5 models. At the pinnacle of studio monitor design, the professional
versions of the SE models are the precision tools of choice in studios across the globe, producing the
world’s finest jazz, classical, rock, pop and film recordings for labels like Deutsche Grammophon, DECCA,
Philips and Harmonia Mundi.
The drive units feature a new soft feel Nextel™ coating to provide a
luxurious and homogenous finish across all the units in the cabinet.
