Retrospective 1979 S Shelf Speaker

Uncompromisingly Retro

SIMPLE ELEGANCE

The Retrospective series are a timeless tribute to days past and make a statement for uncompromising, authentic Design Made in Berlin.

Inspired by the aesthetics of the '70s, classic and innovative details meet and blend into a timeless whole. After numerous inquiries we are delighted to introduce you to the central element of the Retrospective home cinema ensemble.

NUMAN’s Retrospective 1979 S is a full-featured two-way speaker with many talents. Because this little music device is so concentrated, it may not be immediately apparent which musical qualities and just how much versatility it contains, whether as a wall speaker, shelf speaker in HiFi operation or in the background of the Retrospective Home Cinema Ensemble.

Dynamic, self-assured and powerful-sounding

CONVINCING INTERIOR

Despite its compact dimensions, the passive membrane construction with its 10cm (4”) passive membrane woofer ensures a surprisingly good bass sound. The 10cm (4”) mid-range, tweeter with silk dome and an elaborate turnout adjustment ensure a balanced sound picture and make for pure listening pleasure.

Thanks to its excellent near-field properties, the 1979 S is also ideally suited as a desktop and shelf speaker, and in operation as a wall speaker, it benefits from a clearly emphasised bass reproduction.

The 1979 S is particularly interesting for all home cinema fans and fans of multi-channel formats, as it opens up completely new surround sound perspectives and HiFi combination possibilities when used as a satellite speaker expansion. Due to its precise response and the excellent sound level for its size, the 1979 S sounds surprisingly lively.

You may choose the colour of the matching covers in a retro look. Due to the non-positive connection, the covers are easy to install and remove. The inner edges have been coated with a protective PU varnish to prevent scratches and damage.
