Vétroz, Switzerland, May 6th, 2024 — Stenheim, the Switzerland-based speaker company that utilizes aluminium cabinets and high-efficiency drivers to bring out every nuance of the finest recordings, will show its new Alumine Five LE, a luxury variant of the also brand new Alumine Five SX at High End Munich.

These two new additions to the Alumine Five range both incorporate an elegant aluminium plinth machined from solid billet. This allows for increased stability of the loudspeakers and isolation from vibration at the same time as providing simple adjustability to obtain the optimum set-up. It enables the Alumine Five to deliver its ultimate performance, providing astonishing clarity and musicality. This platform can be retrofitted to any Alumine Five already produced, resulting in a significant sonic upgrade.

The speakers themselves are derived from the award-winning Alumine Five SE, itself an upgraded version of the Alumine Five, with top of the range crossover components, binding posts and enhanced internal wiring. The Alumine Five SX is additionally equipped with a room control panel on the rear, originally seen on the more expensive Reference Ultime Two model, which enables different bass-treble profiles to be selected to adjust for room specifics. Sound quality is yet further enhanced by a new grounding post which allows the speaker to be connected to a grounding system. The Alumine Five SX is immediately recognizable by its anodized tweeter horn and side bars. It is the first speaker in the Alumine Five family to receive this enhancement which will be introduced to the rest of the range in the coming months.

The all-new Alumine Five LE is a limited edition of the Alumine Five SX. Just 10 pairs are due to be made. Over and above the Five SX’s impressive specifications, the Five LE model boasts some luxury aesthetic touches. Only available in Full Black, its tweeter horn, side bars, platform details and spike covers are gilded in gold leaf. The top baffle is covered in leather with a gold embroidered Stenheim logo. The rear baffle is adorned with a Stenheim emblem. An optional three-part flight case is available.
