Master Line Source 3

An elegant dipole speaker with a supreme level of detail that transforms your living room into a concert hall.

TWEETER AND MIDRANGE COMBINED

For perfect harmony between all components, tweeter, and midrange have been arranged on one level. The MLS 3 features four meticulously handcrafted line source ribbons.

PRECISION BASS

Two 180 mm UHQD basses and two UHQD passive cones provide a bass reproduction perfectly tuned to the ribbons.

REAR SOUND RADIATION

The acoustic lenses diffuse the rear sound extensively, allowing you to place this dipole speaker in the room like a conventional loudspeaker.

TIMELESS DESIGN

Swiss industrial designer Stephan Hürlemann created the combination of timeless aesthetics and advanced technology for the Master Line Source 3.

 

 

For real music lovers.

LINE SOURCE RIBBONS

Natural voice reproduction is the supreme discipline in loudspeaker design. One particular challenge lies in the detailed reproduction of rapid impulses. Since our beginnings, we have relied on ribbon systems to master this task. In simple terms, a ribbon is a wafer-thin foil membrane that produces sound through its vibration. The originality lies in its combination with strong magnets, transforming it into the actual driver. The membranes are caused to vibrate evenly over the entire surface and can thus be kept extremely light. The lighter the membrane, the more precision.

The ribbons of the Master loudspeakers are designed with a linear source, the sound waves radiating along a straight line and spreading cylindrically into the room without bouncing off the ceiling or the floor. For the Master Line Source 3, we have arrayed as many as four ribbons vertically to form a genuine line.  Four ribbons, four times more passion!

The result: unparalleled accuracy that impresses even the most sensitive ears.

DIPOLE SYSTEM

The MLS 3 is a dipole speaker radiating to the front and the rear simultaneously, distributing the sound evenly throughout the room. The rear acoustic lenses ensure a completely diffuse sound field behind the speaker, allowing for the speaker to be placed close to a wall. This dipole system puts you right into the center of the musical action.
