Overview

The Scansonic MK-5 is a compact, two-way stand-mounted loudspeaker from Scansonic HD that draws architectural and acoustic design cues from its high-end sister brand, Raidho.

……”Scansonic’s new MK-5 is a compact two-way mini-monitor, featuring the same ultra-light sealed ribbon planar magnetic tweeter found in the brand’s Raidho-inspired M-series. The tweeter’s membrane is formed by a kapton-aluminum sandwich just 20μm thick which has an extremely low mass – approximately 50 times less than any conventional textile, ceramic, beryllium or diamond dome. This lower mass translates directly into higher resolution and less material coloration. 

The tweeter is partnered with a brand new 4.5-inch Kevlar coned mid/bass driver (hence the ‘K’ in ‘MK-5’) with underhung magnet system. Kevlar is a lightweight, durable and extraordinarily strong material that was first used commercially in the early 1970s as a replacement for steel in racing tyres. Today it is probably best known for its use in ballistic and stab-resistant body armour. In a loudspeaker driver cone, Kevlar’s low mass and very high tensile strength combine to deliver a smooth, accurate and detailed sound.

Styling-wise the MK-5 bears a strong resemblance to Scansonic’s Raidho-inspired and sleek-looking MB-series, and is available in a choice of black-piano or white-piano finish. 

It is yet another virtuoso solution from Scansonic HD, giving music lovers a persuasive opportunity to enjoy high-end performance at a mid-range price.”
