Burmester B18 Floorstanding Loudspeaker 2022 Cover Silver

B18 SPEAKER

The B18 speaker is designed as a 2 ½-way bass reflex speaker using the front-firing principle and is an all-round talent in terms of sound: space-saving, yet highly musical and dynamic at the same time.

As part of the expansion of the Burmester B series loudspeaker portfolio, the B18 was adapted to the appearance of the B28 and B38 in 2022 and now also has the simple, restrained screwless front, which means that the loudspeaker can be integrated even more elegantly into any living room ambience. In addition, the variants in terms of housing designs and anodized colors of the fronts have also been standardized across the entire B series.

The B18 speaker is designed as a 2 ½-way bass reflex speaker using the front-firing principle and is an all-round talent in terms of sound: space-saving, yet highly musical and dynamic at the same time. The high-frequency reproduction benefits from the ring radiator developed exclusively for Burmester, which ensures optimum transparency and resolution. The mid-bass and mid-bass drivers are a further development based on an already proven driver, which now also helps the B18 to achieve an impressive sound performance.

The highly complex crossover is located in its own housing chamber, as is the mid-bass driver, whose own closed housing ensures a particularly clean mid-range performance.

The base of the B18, constructed according to the sandwich principle, consists of a high-molecular thermoplastic polymer in combination with other materials with high internal damping and rigidity for optimal decoupling of the loudspeaker from the floor. The solid MDF front, in conjunction with the housing optimized using FEM analysis, ensures accurate, precise bass reproduction and significantly reduces the vibration of the housing. In addition to the mechanical damping by means of a foam cylinder, the B18 loudspeaker has a bass switch for adapting the bass reproduction to the spatial conditions and personal listening taste.
