Passive Monitor

SE MF-4

Passive Midfield Monitoring System |  

The SE MF-4 brings Strauss large-format technology into a more compact midfield monitor. Its 12-inch LIT woofer is derived directly from the SE MF‑2.1’s 15-inch LIT design, sharing the same low-loss motor concept, cone geometry, and control. Paired with a precisely time-aligned 1” compression driver, the SE MF‑4 behaves as a single coherent source, delivering seamless imaging, low distortion, and natural dynamics. Extending down to 28 Hz (-6 dB), it is ideal for critical mixing, mastering, and high-fidelity listening at 1.5–2.5 meter listening distances.

The SE MF-4 combines a custom Strauss-developed 12-inch LIT woofer with a 1-inch compression driver at a 1200 Hz crossover selected to preserve coherent source behavior through the transition region. Low mechanical loss in the woofer, physical time alignment between the drivers, phase-coherent integration through the handoff, and the controlled radiation of the horn system work together to maintain transient fidelity, midrange continuity, spatial precision, and stable spectral balance in real midfield environments.
