Stenheim Alumine Two

The Stenheim Alumine Two marks the starting point of the Alumine range. At first glance, it appears simple and understated. However, a closer look reveals a compact loudspeaker built around deeply considered engineering choices and a clear musical purpose.

Re-thinking compact loudspeaker design

Rather than following fashion or convention, the Alumine Two challenges traditional loudspeaker thinking. Instead of relying on exotic cone materials, it uses carefully developed, traditional driver technologies. Likewise, it prioritises phase coherence, low energy storage, and musical flow over headline specifications.

Thin-wall aluminium cabinet

A critically damped, thin-wall aluminium cabinet forms the foundation of the design. This approach maximises internal volume while keeping external dimensions compact. As a result, the Alumine Two behaves like a much larger speaker, with lower coloration and greater dynamic freedom than typical small enclosures.

Drivers chosen for musicality

The speaker combines a larger-than-expected bass-mid driver with a treated paper cone and a soft fabric dome tweeter. Subtle horn loading increases efficiency and responsiveness. Consequently, the Alumine Two delivers strong dynamics, natural tone, and surprising bass weight for its size.

Phase-coherent crossover

A high-order, phase-coherent crossover preserves timing and spatial information within the stereo signal. At the same time, low-loss components and carefully shaped roll-offs maintain energy and life in the music, allowing recordings to sound open and expressive.

Efficiency & amplifier friendliness

Thanks to its efficient design and low energy storage, the Alumine Two places fewer demands on the amplifier. This allows more of the incoming signal to translate directly into musical energy. In turn, dynamics feel freer and more immediate, even with modestly powered amplifiers.

Big sound from a compact form

The Alumine Two combines the advantages of a small speaker with many benefits of a larger enclosure. It offers scale, presence, and intimacy, while remaining agile and refined. Its rigid, low-resonance construction ensures clarity without stripping music of emotion.

Timeless, hand-built Swiss craftsmanship

Finished with classical proportions and a flawless aluminium surface, the Alumine Two blends effortlessly into both modern and traditional interiors. Expressive yet controlled, delicate yet powerful, it brings recordings to life and delivers music with lasting emotional impact.
