SERHAN SWIFT MU2 MK II LOUDSPEAKERS RELEASED

Way back before the Covid 19 pandemic put an end to our global travels, HiFi Pig visited Serhan Swift in Australia and had a listen to the Serhan + Swift Brigadier Mu.2 Loudspeakers.

We also had the pleasure of enjoying the speakers ourselves in the MIAN/Leema room at the last HiFi Show we visited, The Bristol Hifi Show 2020.

The beady-eyed amongst you will notice that there has been a rebranding and name change. Now known as simply Serhan Swift, named after the founders’ Brad Serhan and Morris Swift, they have dropped the Brigadier to avoid confusion with other brands.

SERHAN SWIFT MU2 MK II LOUDSPEAKERS

The Serhan Swift mu2 MKII is not just a facelift but a completely new model with a matt black finish. All elements, cabinet, woofer, tweeter, crossover, have been carefully re-examined and significantly improved. Lessons learned from the original mu2 Special Edition, as well as the team’s ongoing research into the effects of vibration on all components, have been expanded upon, and now been applied to the mu2 Mk II. While the ScanSpeak woofer and tweeter may look the same as the previous model, both have been improved, giving, says Morris, “even flatter response, smoother roll-off, and lower distortion”.

CARDAS CONNECTIONS

Bass and treble crossovers are kept separate and hand-wired, point to point, then silver soldered on 5mm thick high-density substrates. Proprietary micro-vibration control is also applied. The speakers use Cardas brand terminals made from high purity copper with rhodium plating.

NEW CABINET

The new multi-layer cabinet construction now employs additional layers of differing materials, carefully chosen for composition and thickness, for further reduction in cabinet noise/vibration, energy storage and colouration. Bracing has been further strengthened. The new cabinet adds almost 1Kg to the weight of each speaker when compared to the original mu2.

The cabinet of the Serhan Swift Mu2 Mk II Loudspeakers has been redesigned and is a kilo heavier per unit
