The Steinway & Sons Model B not only looks powerful with its impressive line-up of drivers, but together with the digital crossover and true quad-amplification of the 4 x 400-watt digital amplifier, Steinway & Sons Model A2, the resulting sound reproduction is nothing short of stunning.

A dipole speaker requires a large front area to separate the front and rear radiation of low frequency sound. In the Model B, the sides are elegantly folded back to add to the acoustic width of the speaker. Furthermore, the six pieces of woofer add up to an extremely large radiating surface capable of producing a linear output down to 25 Hz.
The Model B is a loudspeaker like no other. Tweeter, midrange driver and woofers are arranged in a dipole design, exiting the sound in the room like an instrument would and achieving a truly holographic stereo reproduction. Conventional dipole speakers usually lose sound energy in the lower frequencies, but this unique design with three large woofers offset with three more on the back lead to a substantial and rich sound. While the bass energy towards the listeners is fully kept, bass energy at the sides acoustically cancels out, reducing unwanted sound reflections from the room’s sidewalls.
Combining digital amplification technology with digital processing in Steinway & Sons stereo and surround sound processors and patented Steinway Link technology ensures a high-resolution, energy-efficient and lossless transmission path for the purest possible sound
OTHER CORE BRAND TECHNOLOGIESThe relatively small footprint and dipole construction allows for the Steinway & Sons Model B to be positioned quite freely in the room. The distance to the rear wall should not be less than one meter for optimal sound reproduction, and the speakers should have a small toe-in stance to enjoy the full effects of the reflecting sound. A dipole speaker generally works with the room acoustics, unlike normal box speakers, and if the room and decor is not completely symmetrical around the speakers, RoomPerfect™ will clean up the negative effects to the sound.
With three large woofers visible on the front and three more on the back, it becomes clear this loudspeaker is capable of playing bass. But the outstanding bass performance is the result of an even more remarkable construction detail: In every conventional loudspeaker, the woofers have to work against the compressed air inside a closed cabinet. Furthermore, any enclosure adds sound colouration. In the Model B, all woofers are mounted on an open rigid aluminium frame without any enclosure limiting them. Six woofers with glass fibre cones add up to an extremely large sound-radiating surface, capable of producing a transparent, fast, yet deep bass down to 25 Hz.
The remarkably fast and dynamic bass performance must be matched in the higher frequencies. The Model B uses the company’s own Air Motion Transformer with an ultra-thin, folded Kapton diaphragm between extremely powerful neodymium magnets, achieving a completely clear, distortion-free performance even during the loudest crescendos. The tweeter and midrange driver are mounted on a gold- or chrome-plated solid aluminium base, complemented by high-quality-lacquered side panels, giving the speaker its unmistakable Steinway & Sons appearance.
