SE PIANO DIFFUSER | Acoustic Design at the Source

Developed by STRAUSS ELEKTROAKUSTIK specifically for grand pianos, the SE Piano Diffuser is designed to improve the acoustic relationship between the instrument and its surroundings.

Positioned beneath the piano, it disperses sound radiating downward from the soundboard, reducing strong reflections from the floor that would otherwise return toward the instrument. The result is greater clarity, depth, and spatial definition, allowing the piano’s natural character to emerge more freely.

Entirely portable and requiring no modification to the instrument, the SE Piano Diffuser reflects the STRAUSS ELEKTROAKUSTIK approach to acoustic design: achieving meaningful improvements through a precise understanding of the physical behavior of sound.

Each SE Piano Diffuser is made to order. For pricing and availability, contact us directly or visit strauss-elektroakustik.com

SE NF-3 | CLOSER TO THE RECORD

Even the recordings you know by heart have more to reveal.

The SE NF-3 combines exceptional high-frequency clarity, natural midrange reproduction, and precise stereo imaging in a compact passive monitor designed for critical listening at close range. With surprisingly extended bass and remarkable transparency, it brings details, textures, and spatial relationships into focus, allowing you to hear things in familiar recordings you may never have noticed before.

Pictured here at ETH Zürich, the SE NF-3 stands before an experimental acoustic diffusion wall developed through Gramazio Kohler Research. With Jürgen Strauss contributing his expertise in acoustics, the project investigated how complex surface geometries scatter sound and influence our perception of acoustic space.

This understanding of sound, radiation behavior, and room interaction remains fundamental to the engineering philosophy of STRAUSS ELEKTROAKUSTIK.

Experience the SE NF-3 at our Los Angeles showroom. STRAUSS ELEKTROAKUSTIK USA provides private demonstrations, sales, distribution, system consultation, and customer support throughout the Americas.

STOCKFISCH RECORDS

For more than 50 years, Stockfisch Records has produced the kind of recordings people turn to when they want to hear what a truly high-end audio system can do.

Founded in 1974 by recording engineer and producer Günter Pauler, Stockfisch has become one of the most respected names in audiophile recording, renowned for its exceptional sound quality, meticulous mastering, and vinyl and SACD releases that have become reference material for high-end audio systems around the world.

Working from the historic vaulted cellars of St. Blasien in Northeim, Germany, Pauler has long relied on STRAUSS ELEKTROAKUSTIK monitoring. His reference system features the SE MF-2.1 mastering studio monitors, paired with dual-mono SE PA-250 amplification.

“My label, Stockfisch Records, is the sonic reference for many music lovers. The SE MASTERING STUDIO MONITORS SE-MF-2.1 are my reference.”

— Günter Pauler, Founder of Stockfisch Records

Room Interaction — Reflections & Radiation Behavior

Sound does not stop at the listener. Once emitted by a loudspeaker, acoustic energy interacts with the surrounding environment, producing reflections that contribute to tonal balance, imaging, and spatial perception.

These reflections are shaped by both the loudspeaker and the room.

A loudspeaker’s radiation pattern influences how acoustic energy is distributed across frequencies and directions, affecting the strength and spectral content of sound reaching surrounding surfaces. Room geometry determines reflection paths and arrival times, while surface properties further shape the reflected energy.

When radiation behavior is smooth and consistent across frequency, reflected sound can maintain a more coherent spectral relationship with the direct sound, supporting natural tonal balance and stable spatial perception.

Conversely, irregular radiation patterns and abrupt changes in directivity can produce spectrally uneven reflections, contributing to coloration and reduced localization precision.

At STRAUSS ELEKTROAKUSTIK, controlled and consistent radiation behavior is fundamental to loudspeaker design.

Proper radiation behavior must be engineered at the source — not left to downstream DSP correction.

The room responds to what the loudspeaker radiates.

MAX PLANCK ARTLAB — FRANKFURT

The ArtLab at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics in Frankfurt is both a performance hall and a research laboratory, built to study how people experience music, sound, and live performance.

One of its most striking features is the sculptural brick acoustic diffuser, digitally designed and robotically fabricated. The placement of individual bricks was precisely planned, allowing an intricate arrangement of varying depths to be realized with exceptional accuracy.

Jürgen Strauss / STRAUSS ELEKTROAKUSTIK GmbH was responsible for the ArtLab’s acoustic planning and architectural acoustic design.

The adjoining recording studio is also equipped with STRAUSS ELEKTROAKUSTIK SE MF-2.1 reference monitors, providing critical listening conditions for audio production and research.

Architecture and digital fabrication — Gramazio & Kohler, Zürich.

Robotic brick fabrication — Keller Ziegeleien, Pfungen.

From the acoustic environment itself to the reference monitors used within it, precision and accuracy are fundamental to our work.

SE NF-3. SE MF-4. SE MF-2.1. | THREE SCALES OF REFERENCE.

Three passive reference monitoring systems, from compact nearfields to large-format main monitors.

At the SE MusicLab in Bern, Switzerland, custom wheeled bases maintain each system’s intended listening height while allowing the larger monitors to be easily moved in and out of position, one pair at a time. This allows each system to be independently positioned for optimal performance, without another pair physically obstructing its placement or introducing unwanted acoustic interactions.

We’re bringing this same approach to the STRAUSS ELEKTROAKUSTIK USA showroom in Los Angeles, using the same custom wheeled bases pictured here. The SE MF-2.1 is on its way, joining our existing SE MF-4 and SE NF-3, alongside the complete AP Series lineup, available to audition ahead of its official release.

Planning a visit? Let us know which systems you’d like to hear in advance, and we’ll configure the room accordingly. Whether you’re interested in a specific model or comparing multiple systems, each listening session can be tailored to your interests.

SE MF-4S | Reference Monitoring for the Listening Room

The MF-4S delivers the same reference-level performance and acoustic design principles as the MF-4, but in a purpose-built floorstanding form for lower seated listening positions.

Where the MF-4 is typically positioned on dedicated stands for studio and control-room use, the MF-4S establishes the correct acoustic height directly through its cabinet geometry, making it ideally suited to dedicated listening rooms and high-end residential environments.

The same 12-inch Low Inertia Technology (LIT) woofer, precisely aligned compression driver, constant-directivity horn, physical time alignment and controlled dispersion define the system’s performance.

The result is the same transparency, dynamics, imaging and immediacy expected from the MF-4 platform — configured specifically around a lower seated listening position.

Same reference performance.
Designed for lower seated listening positions.

SE MUSICLAB | THE ROBOT BEHIND THE CLAY ROTUNDA
BERN, SWITZERLAND

The Clay Rotunda at SE MUSICLAB brings together one of the world’s oldest building materials — clay — with some of the most advanced robotic fabrication technology.
To realize its complex geometry, Gramazio Kohler Research at ETH Zürich employed its In-situ Fabricator — a custom mobile robotic system equipped with an ABB six-axis industrial arm.

Over 50 days, the robot precisely positioned and compressed more than 30,000 individual clay cylinders, creating the massive sound-isolating shell surrounding THE LAB.

Guided by computational design and monitored through regular 3D scanning, the construction process accounted for the evolving geometry and natural shrinkage of the clay as it dried.

Part of Jürgen Strauss’s vision for SE MUSICLAB, the Clay Rotunda brings together advanced robotics, structural engineering, natural materials, and acoustic design in a unique environment dedicated to critical listening and electroacoustic research.
