**ALUMINE MOVIE**
**STENHEIM UPGRADES ITS REVOLUTIONARY MULTICHANNEL SYSTEM WITH ALUMINE TWO AND ALUMINE SUB**

The Alumine Two represents a substantial deviation from conventional speaker design.

Highly efficient, the Alumine gives music lovers the option of using lower-powered amplifiers without sacrificing performance. The speakers combine unparalleled speed and rich tone which sets them apart from the norm, or overly avant-garde designs that look good on paper but which end up tiring the listener.

There are possibilities to customize the finish so that they can complement the décor of your home. With no exposed fasteners or screws, our team, with handmade, watch industry experience, has created a fluid and stunning achievement in contemporary speaker design.

In an age of obsessive consumerism and product choice, Stenheim believes in pride of ownership and longevity. The Alumine Two manifests this philosophy, whilst being truly inspired by the passion and love for music.

Special edition

The Alumine Two is also available as a special edition model called the Alumine Two SE which features improved high-grade crossover components, with dedicated Stenheim internal wiring and a binding post taken from the Reference line.

Options

Two stands are available as extras for the Alumine Two.

The Premium stand features an aluminum square-section central tube. The Basic model replaces this with a steel, round-section tube.

Press reviews

TONE AUDIO MAGAZINE : THE STENHEIM ALUMINE 2 SPEAKERS

“The all-aluminum enclosure is beautiful to behold, and the level of execution is terrific. If the concept, and all the benefits that come with a high-performance two-way monitor appeal to you, Stenheim’s Alumine 2 speakers are fantastic. They offer excellent sound, meticulous execution, and a density of thought approached by very few similarly priced speakers. Highly recommended.”

Tone Audio Magazine, Jeff Dorgay, July 2021READ FULL REVIEW

PART TIME AUDIOPHILE : EDITORS CHOICE

“In my return to the exciting world of the two-way monitor, I found that the Stenheim Alumine 2s set the bar preternaturally high. I’ve listened to a lot of speakers over the last couple of years that I could buy and enjoy for the rest of my life. But the Stenheims go deeper than that. Not only do they provide sublime sound, but they resonate with my life as an audiophile. They capture all of the qualities I’ve pursued over the last 40 years, and I highly recommend them.”

Part time audiophile, Marc Phillips, July 2020READ FULL ARTICLE

THE AUDIOBEAT 2017 : FIRST SOUNDS: STENHEIM ALUMINE TWO

” If you need a compact speaker that allows your music to breathe, that’s big on expression, big on intimacy and communication but isn’t phased by big or loud, then the Alumine 2 could be just what you’re looking for. Other brands might make more noise about (and with) their aluminium boxes, but for me, right now it’s the Stenheims that are the ones delivering the musical goods. “

The Audio Beat, Roy Gregory, March 2017READ FULL ARTICLE

Owners Testimonies

“The 2’s are obviously a very different speaker (…) The soundstage and layering is quite remarkable, they’re wonderfully dynamic and produce a very impressive low end for their very diminutive size. Most importantly for me they pull out decently more detail in the music. They do still sound like bookshelf speakers however, and most would like a speaker with the capacity to produce more low end.”

“(…) but I know what I like. And I really love these – they are very much to my taste.I cannot imagine that anyone who had any understanding of sound reproduction, they would need to be deaf not to hear how good these are. The speakers presentation is incredible. It’s like a really beautiful dish placed in front of you and then you bite into it and you get an explosion of flavour. What I see amazing is that they don’t sacrifice other parts of the meal over one or two elements; they let everything shine. It is a magic trick for sure.”

Stenheim offers a revolutionary subwoofer system

Swiss state of the art design and aesthetic sensibilities pervade the clean and elegant aluminum cabinet. Never before has
design and fidelity conspired to yield such ethereal yet tangible results.

For instance, the two 13 inches drivers are proprietary multilayer cone with very long linear excursion, mated to extremely
powerful magnets, resulting in dynamic, impact and deep foundation.

The solid and massive aluminum case, combined with an exclusive central mechanical coupling system, allows the
Alumine Sub to reach the lowest frequencies with power, authority and particularly low distortion.

The Alumine Sub expand the capabilities of all speakers of our Alumine range : Two, Three, Five and Movie.

We have imagined an exemplary modularity for our Alumine Sub, giving it the following options:

2 stackable units,
1 amplifier of 1500W,
1 powerful DSP with preset for all our speakers,
adjustment of the gain and adaptation to the listening room

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

2 x 13 inches woofers mounted back to front (forces cancellation)

Some manufacturers focus on the sensory, others on technology. Our approach merges the two because we understand the relationship between real physical constraints and their impact on the subjective quality of listening. Ignoring the trendy, our products are built to stand the test of time. This is why we’ve chosen to design a loudspeaker which highlights the beauty and sanctity of music over all else.

With STENHEIM, rediscover engagement with music and sensation of immersive listening.

Forget technology simply experience music.

Technologies that Deliver
Featuring unique technologies such as Forward Focused Bipolar Arrays, BDSS™ drivers and integrated subwoofers, BP9000 loudspeakers deliver extraordinary home cinema experiences.
Precision Performance
Beautiful Music…

Forward Focused Bipolar Array
for stunning depth of field
The BP9000 Series showstopper technology is the Forward Focused Bipolar Array, which simultaneously fires sound both forward and backward. The forward-traveling sound reaches your ears first, producing hyper-accurate audio and a super-sharp soundstage. Milliseconds later, the rear-facing sound arrives after bouncing off the rear wall, adding a naturalistic delay similar to a concert hall or movie theater. This combination creates a sense of immense depth in the room, as if your room is larger than it is.

Built-in Powered Subwoofers
for room-shaking bass
Most BP9000 models include built-in powered subwoofers, eliminating the need to invest in a standalone subwoofer to get deep bass. And with subwoofers built in, the bass is more consistent throughout your room.

Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS™)
for a wider soundstage
Definitive Technology’s unique BP9000 mid-range subwoofers feature our innovative Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS™). By improving driver excursion, BDSS delivers a more even midrange throughout the room while simultaneously playing lower to blend with BP9000’s built-in subwoofers.

Aluminum Dome Tweeters
for crystal clear highs

The BP9000 Series Aluminum Dome Tweeters’ ultralight, rigid construction enables them to play significantly higher frequencies than we can hear, providing effortless, distortion-free performance within and beyond the audible range.
Advanced Home Cinema Features
for the perfect movie night

Disappearing Design Intelligent Bass Control Dolby Atmos & DTS:X

Disappearing Black Cloth Design
BP9000 loudspeakers are wrapped in an acoustically transparent black cloth grille that won’t affect the sound. And because they’re so unassuming, they disappear into your room as soon as you dim the lights to start movie night.
Beautiful Music, Too
Not Just for Home Cinema
All the advances that make the BP9000 Series the ultimate home cinema speaker system apply to beautiful music reproduction as well. That’s why the BP9000 Series is also revered for its extraordinary musicality.

“The BP9080x speakers are crystal clear, articulate, and genuinely moving.”

Architecture
Descend’s unique 3XR Architecture provides triple the bass-producing radiating surface area of a traditional ported subwoofer. This extra surface area moves more air, resulting in massive low end. And because 3XR doesn’t use ports, it also provides crystal-clear sound with no port noise distortion.

More Bass
from the same space
Due to their breakthrough 3XR Architecture, Descend Series subwoofers have three times the bass-radiating surface area as similar-sized ported subwoofers. This enables Descend subwoofers to produce more bass from the same sized enclosure.
Learn about 3XR Architecture

Passive Radiators
for louder, lower,
cleaner bass
As the core technology behind Descend’s 3XR Architecure, passive bass radiators enable subwoofers to play as loud and low as a ported sub without unwanted port noise distortion. And they deliver a smooth frequency response like a sealed sub, but with the port-like ability to play louder and lower in a smaller enclosure.
