Master Line Source MKII

A vision has become reality: after years of development, the Master Line Source MKII is PIEGA's top model and an outstanding speaker in the entire industry. It works according to the line source principle, which is regarded as the ideal sound transducer. All frequencies are emitted as a coherent cylindrical sound wave. The large cone area minimises distortion and clearly outperforms conventional speakers.

Brilliant mid- and high-frequency reproduction

Eight meticulously stacked line source driver ribbons, handcrafted with the utmost precision in our manufactory, guarantee a breathtaking performance of all mid and high frequencies, reproducing every note, instrument, and voice with clarity and precision.

Separate bass tower

Subwoofers of the special kind: six 22 cm subwoofers guarantee voluminous bass reproduction down to a frequency of 18 hertz.

NOT FOR EVERY DAY

With a weight of 600 kg and a height of 178 cm, the MLS requires a suitable large listening area.

Immersive sound experience

Our Master Line Source drivers radiate high and mid frequencies evenly to the front and rear as dipoles. This creates a spatial sound image that fills the room harmoniously and creates an immersive soundscape in which music is experienced with a natural presence.

Construction is everything

The housing consists of an MDF composite with elaborate internal bracing and sound-absorbing mats to reduce resonance. On top of this, 10 mm thick, solid aluminium panels are sandwiched to ensure stability.

EXQUISITE DESIGN

Both elements of the Master Line Source MKII come with a polished aluminium cabinet. Other designs are available on request.

HIGHEST PRECISION

The entire baffle of the midrange panel is cut from one solid aluminium block offering outstanding stability and damping. The aluminium block consists of a special alloy
offering maximum rigidity and internal damping and is also
annealed in an hour long process to remove stresses. The entire cutting process for the baffles alone requires several hours as only this ensures the required precision.

METICULOUS WORKMANSHIP

The Master Line Source MKII can only be produced from the meticulous workmanship of an experienced member of the PIEGA crew. A long wait time – untypical of PIEGA – for the delivery of these giants of sound is therefore not uncommon. The Master Line Source MKII is produced at the company headquarters without haste and with a great deal of precision and value for the product.
A masterpiece of loudspeaker construction made from the hands of masters of the ultimate in audio enjoyment.

Symmetric line source

Line source speakers, also known as line source drivers, carry music lovers with the highest demands off into an impressive sound universe. Compared to conventional loudspeakers, the sound waves of a line source driver expand vertically in a cylindrical shape. This characteristic allows the sounds of the mid and high ranges to reach the listener directly without being reflected from the ceiling or the floor. In addition, line sources have excellent impulse fidelity, allowing instruments to be reproduced in their full dynamic range and large orchestras to shine with authentic vigor. The symmetric array of the midrange also improves the horizontal radiation pattern and produces a more homogeneous soundstage.

Woofers with aluminum membranes

The applied aluminum membranes are incredibly rigid and, at the same time, ultralight for fast and accurate pulse response. With a very low mechanical loss, higher efficiency, and exceptional fine dynamics, they are an ideal symbiotic partner for our ribbon technology.
