Backes&Müller Prime12 Loudspeaker

Backes&Müller-Prime12-Loudspeakers5

With its new BM Prime series Backes&Müller has once again set new standards in the conception and construction of modern HiFi loudspeakers. FIRTEC technology, which is known due to the multiple award-winning Line series loudspeakers, is being used for the first time in the current Prime line. The “time-aligned” reproduction technology developed by Backes&Müller is therefore now featured in the Prime models offering a new standard of music enjoyment.

BackesMüller-Prime12-Loudspeakers2.jpg

Our cabinet construction with the finest materials is a solid fundament and home for our chassis and drivers. The installed chassis are partly built in-house – for example the mid-tone driver calottes of the BM Prime12 – or manufactured to B&M specifications by specialists in Germany. Incidentally just like all other components as well, even the mounting of the complex SMD-equipped circuit boards are high quality and made-to-measure German craftsmanship.

Backes&Müller-Prime12-Loudspeakers1

The design is extraordinary without any extravagance, unpretentious and suitable for every living ambience with our broad palette of different finishes and surfaces. Whether in fine veneers or timelessly elegant black or white, a Backes&Müller Prime series loudspeaker is a statement of good taste in every home. In spite of its pioneering role in modern signal processing no technology is evident, not a screw nor a clamp in sight; nothing that could disturb the design of our timelessly beautiful sound furniture.

The materials used for the inserted chassis are chosen from an acoustic-optical point of view, nothing may only look or sound good and we seek the perfectly balanced combination. Thus the treble driver of the BM Prime series models must not only be extremely performant with plenty of reserve, it sits in an aluminium cylinder that has been worked out of a solid block of aluminium by high-gloss turning technology. This cylinder leads to three advantages in one workpiece. The surface is formed to a waveguide, which makes the cabinet edges of the loudspeaker invisible for the high frequency range. The solid material gives the driver an exact fit without any play or tolerances whatsoever.

Publisher

Marco Lisi is the publisher of Best of High End, part of AV Concepts BV. His path into audio started early: as a teenager he was drawn into the world of free radio, presenting shows and living immersed in music every day. In his early twenties he ran his own production studio for five years, creating jingles and commercials — hands-on training in sound design, pro-audio workflows, and critical listening through studio monitors that still shapes how he evaluates gear today. He also spent years DJing in clubs before moving into publishing, first at two earlier online magazines before founding Best of High End. His hi-fi and home cinema passion was inherited from his father, an inveterate system-swapper. Marco's first setup — a confirmation gift — paired AKAI separates with entry-level Bowers & Wilkins speakers, a brand he stayed loyal to for years as his system grew from stereo into full surround and home cinema. Like many enthusiasts, he went through an extended "audiophile" phase chasing the next upgrade, before settling into a more grounded view: gear as a means to enjoy music and film, not an end in itself. Years of critical listening have given him a well-trained ear — the ability to characterize a system or pinpoint a change in the chain quickly and accurately. Just as important, his teaching background (a Belgian "regent" degree in Dutch language) gives him the tools to translate those listening impressions into clear, readable writing.
