The Scansonic MK-5 was to be the monitor in a series below the MB series and then Michael Borrensen left Scansonic and they never added the two floorstanding models to fill out the line. I bought a quantity of the monitors as they are a great value at only $469.00 a pair.
Scansonic’s MK-5 is a compact two-way mini-monitor, featuring the same ultra-light sealed ribbon planar magnetic tweeter found in the brand’s Raidho-inspired M-series. The tweeter’s membrane is formed by a kapton-aluminum sandwich just 20μm thick which has an extremely low mass - approximately 50 times less than any conventional textile, ceramic, beryllium or diamond dome. This lower mass translates directly into higher resolution and less material coloration.
The tweeter is partnered with a new 4.5-inch Kevlar coned mid/bass driver (hence the ‘K’ in ‘MK-5’) with underhung magnet system. Kevlar is a lightweight, durable and extraordinarily strong material that was first used commercially in the early 1970s as a replacement for steel in racing tyres. Today it is probably best known for its use in ballistic and stab-resistant body armour. In a loudspeaker driver cone, Kevlar’s low mass and very high tensile strength combine to deliver a smooth, accurate and detailed sound.
Styling-wise the MK-5 bears a strong resemblance to Scansonic’s Raidho-inspired and sleek-looking MB-series, and is available in a black-piano finish.
