When development on the STUDIO 2 started, there were key questions posed: is it possible to improve on a 2-way speaker and is a new version necessary in the first place? To be clear from the start: the answer to both questions is "yes".
Highlights
- Waveguide design for better dispersion and integration between drivers
- Natural sound reproduction
- Suitable for stereo and multi-channel systems

Visaton STUDIO 2 DIY Components Pack
The introduction of waveguide technology made it possible to optimize acoustic characteristics not only along the axis, but also to perfect the lateral radiation pattern. This enhancement has been implemented here. The STUDIO 2 speaker brings together the high-end AL 130 and G 25 FFL drivers in a harmonious marriage, in the same way as in the larger sister, the STUDIO 1. This combination of a 5inch (12.7cm) bass-mid unit and a 1inch (2.54cm) tweeter has already proved its worth in that speaker. The tweeter is supported by the waveguide WG 148 R. This round waveguide ensures optimized beaming between the G 25 FFL dome tweeter, which normally radiates its output quite noticeably and the AL 130 mid-bass unit, which tends to bundle its output more around the higher frequencies. In this way, the result is a completely homogeneous, seamless whole, characterized by uniform focus.
The drivers, all tuned to be as lossless as possible, ensure accurate, finely resolved sound quality, which rounds off the holistic character of the speaker. As a result of these finely balanced acoustic characteristics, the STUDIO 2 is well suited to use as a monitor in sound studios, which is why it was given that name during the development stage. As is usual for loudspeakers of this genre, sound reproduction has been kept as neutral as possible so as not to taint the sound recording. As well as these professional applications, the speaker can equally well be used for normal stereo or multi-channel systems. This will filter out the really deep frequencies, which will enable the STUDIO 2 to generate unbelievable sound pressure levels. Despite the compact dimensions, if these speakers are supported by a subwoofer, even much larger systems can be elbowed aside.
So the STUDIO 2 is not merely a small format 2-band bookshelf speaker, it is a small, universally talented speaker with a sound quality you simply would not expect.
