Retrospective 1978 MKII Shelf Speaker

SIMPLE ELEGANCE Uncompromisingly retro

The extraordinary speakers of the Retrospective series make a statement for uncompromising, authentic design made in Berlin. Inspired by the 70s aesthetics, classic and innovative details meet at the highest level and blend into a timeless whole.

With the Retrospective MKII, NUMAN's retro speaker series goes into its second round. The mechanical design has been technically optimized and the acoustics have been fine-tuned. The warm and dynamic sound has remained intact and the high-frequency portion has been refined with great care. Its new properties gives the speakers more detailed richness and transparency. Furthermore, customer-oriented personalization is still ensured. Three housing colors can be freely combined with the matching covers. Just choose what fits best for you.

IMPRESSIVE INNERWORKINGS Dynamic, self-assured and powerful

The equally subtle and simple retro look of the NUMAN Retrospective 1978 MKII makes design-lovers' hearts beat faster. The technology inside the speakers even convinces the audiophiles. The speakers of the Retrospective series are not completely neutral. Rather, their sound is warm, dynamic and shows itself as extremely playful in any musical context.

The technical focus is on the high-quality 3-way crossover, which splits the audio signal precisely and relays it to the 20 cm (8") woofer, 10 cm (4") midrange driver and the tweeter with a built-in NUMAN sound conduit.

The positioning of the loudspeakers using the included Retrospective stands is especially unique. The NUMAN Retrospective 1978 MKII rewards the free setup with a clean bass reproduction as well as a powerful, punctual and particularly lively sound.

The Retrospective 1978 MKII bookshelf speakers provide a space-encompassing and impressive listening experience that you will never forget.

THOUGHTFUL DESIGN  Indispensable sound optimizer

With the special Retrospective stands, the speakers look both visually and acoustically attractive. The convertible design makes it possible to set up the speakers according to circumstances and preferences and thus to optimize the resulting sound. Due to the inclined installation, reflections of the sound off of hard surfaces are reduced. Interference in the low frequency range is avoided and the frequency response is noticeably improved.

Made of vibration-absorbing acrylic and provided with corresponding recesses for the connections, the speaker stands offer an installation angle of 5 or 20 degrees. Thus the stand, in the spirit of the late seventies and early eighties, lets the speakers be tilted towards the sky when they are placed on the floor or find themselves gently inclined on tables, TV furniture or sideboards.
