Mu2 MK2 New Speakers from Sehran Swift

  • Posted on 11 August 2021

Based in Sydney Australia, Serhan Swift is a formidable band of loudspeaker designers with 100 years of combined experience, and one simple focus: build loudspeakers that reproduce music in such a way that it transcends the unachievable: “realism”, “belief”, “put the band in the room”, "transport me there" - the holy grail. 

Design brief. 

  • Sonically disappear with no cabinet signature (cabinet should not contribute to acoustic output)
  • Be accurate and believable - communicate every nuance of the performers' intent to the listener
  • Be involved, induce foot tapping by correct timing
  • Allow the listener to hear deep into a recording layer by layer, without artificially highlighting any individual aspects
  • Bass that is articulate and "fast", allowing complex passages to be followed, rather than artificially boosted to the point that it is boomy and "bloated", causing the notes to "blur" together

 

 

Must not hype treble searching for false detail

  • Total lack of listener fatigue
  • “You gotta wanna .."
  • A sense of scale, size, and space ("imaging" and "soundstage") is representative of the musical performance and that belies the speaker's size
  • Off-axis "power response" and room interaction, from near field to far (reverberant) field have all been

carefully considered for ease of placement ("room friendly") and a less critical listener position ("sounds good everywhere")

  • Easy to drive - good efficiency, generous power handling, and a benign impedance curve (which determines

the electrical demands placed on the amplifier) for compatibility with a wide range of amplifiers - solid-state, tube, high or low power

Serhan Swift core values 

  • A systematic  approach to design – perfect synergy
  • Reliability – Consistency – Longevity
  • Value "the price is not the cost (of ownership)" – Secure investment
  • Anti-obsolescence – Invisible technology – ease of use and installation
  • The subtle, understated appearance
