HiVi D2.1se stand monitor
The D2.1se is Swan's finest stand monitor and uses their most highly developed, overbuilt 6.75" midbass driver and 1.1" dome tweeter. Swan's manufacturing arm builds hundreds of thousands of drivers a year but those in this model are their most regarded.
It takes these top-grade components to do what the D2.1se does, which is to sound dynamic, neutral, and musical. This stand monitor has excellent bass -- layered, textural, organic, and extraordinarily deep given its size and conservatively-rated low frequency cutoff. The midbass has punch, definition, and body. Mids are vivid yet effortless, and owners report a great overload threshold and excellent grace under pressure when vocalists and lead instrumentation get loud. This model's highs are nuanced, detailed, and dynamic.
When driven with good equipment and recordings, the D2.1se can build a big, wall-to-wall image. The speaker develops excellent depth, superb micro- and macro-dynamics, and an overall organic, natural presentation -- brass sounds like brass, wood like wood, and vocals like the real thing.
Exceptional quality and fidelity make the D2.1se an excellent value. Select from Khaya Crotch (shown), Birdseye Maple, or Piano Black.
The D2.1se is available in Khaya Crotch (African "Rosewood" Mahogany), European Birdseye Maple, and Gloss Piano Black. This is Swan's top monitor loudspeaker, and it's available exclusively and importer direct from The Audio Insider...for much less than it's sound would suggest.
HiVi D2.1se stand monitor
The tweeter includes a German silk dome, ferrofluid cooling, decompression chamber, and FEA-designed motor and suspension.
The 1.1" / 28mm dome tweeter in the D2.1se is Swan's best.
The midwoofer is a stand-out Swan performer - it's found in much more expensive state of the art monitor loudspeakers - and uses a number of proven, effective technologies:
- Hybrid Neodymium/ferrite motor, undercut pole piece, and CNC-made magnetic circuit contribute low inductance and reduced back electromotive force modulation
- Huge 75mm voice coil for linear drive and high temperature tolerance
- Ventilated chassis and motor structure for cool, linear operation at high level
- Critically damped shallow polymer cone for low self noise
- Synthetic high-loss butyl rubber surround
- Linear suspension for symmetrical drive and low mechanical distortion
- Special heavy cast alloy basket for low resonance
- Shallow mineral filled polypropylene cone
The special high-tech 6.75" / 170mm midbass is unique in the D2.1se's class.
