SPEAKER MATCH
The Speaker Match by SteinMusic represents the culmination of over two decades of research and innovation, rooted in an original idea from more than 20 years ago. Initially, we experimented with using a Zobel network at the speakers, built with the finest and most expensive components available. This approach made a significant difference compared to the standard parts typically used in commercial versions, leading us to develop a truly universal audio enhancement solution that performs flawlessly in various setups.
Over time, we refined this concept further. Ten years after the initial design, we improved the Speaker Match by encasing the internal components in a specially designed casting compound. Unlike traditional damping materials, this compound doesn’t dampen the sound but stabilizes the overall performance, ensuring that the audio remains clear and undistorted. This innovation is central to the Speaker Match’s ability to deliver natural, true-to-life sound.
The Speaker Match also incorporates an advanced Zobel network, a well-known technique that can reduce high-frequency distortion and intermodulation caused by household electrical devices like energy-saving lamps, computers, and refrigerators. By minimizing these distortions, the Speaker Match ensures a cleaner, more precise sound, free from the noise that often plagues home audio systems.
At the heart of the Speaker Match’s superior performance is the SteinMusic Resonance Control System (RCS). Unlike conventional methods that dampen material resonances—often at the cost of musical energy and detail—our approach focuses on stabilizing these resonances. This allows the music to retain its vibrancy and intricate details, providing a listening experience that is both dynamic and nuanced.
To achieve this, we use a special casting compound that completely encases the internal components, optimizing their sonic properties. The outer housing of the Speaker Match is made of treated cardboard, soaked in a special resonance-optimizing lacquer. This combination ensures that all internal resonances are managed effectively, enhancing the overall sound quality. The character of the surface plays a crucial role, as it influences the internal resonance patterns, much like how the surface of a billiard table affects the movement of balls.
In our pursuit of the most natural sound, we experimented with various materials, including wood, for the housing. Although challenging to implement, wood provided a softer, more pleasant sound. Ultimately, we chose the combination of the special compound and treated cardboard for its superior ability to deliver a natural, clear, and detailed sound.
The result is a sound that is not only clearer and smoother but also more detailed. With the SteinMusic RCS system, the audio you hear through the Speaker Match is as close to the original as possible, preserving the energy and emotion of the music. This sophisticated approach to resonance control sets the Speaker Match apart, making it an essential addition for those who seek the purest, most natural sound reproduction in their audio systems.
Speaker Match Signature
The perfect matching between amplifier, speaker cable and loudspeaker.
The SteinMusic Speaker Match Signature is a special matching element to bring to perfection the interplay between amplifier, speaker cable and loudspeaker.The result is a handier, more articulate sound image across all frequencies, which tends to be mellower and less strained. The Signature Version is the “cost no object” approach of Speaker Match technology, to achieve uncompromised results for those who simply want the best.
Only tightly matched custom made components including high class paper in oil capacitors are used, combined with the proprietary Resonance Control Technology and Steinmusic Quantum Technology.
The housing is made from the finest black-stained maple wood, finished with our Maestro lacquer. The tonal properties of maple wood make it a preferred choice for the backs and sides of stringed and plucked instruments, as it helps to enliven and enhance the overall sound. As the housing for the top class of our Speaker Match series, it not only reflects the inner values, but also has a positive influence on the sound. The dense material of maple enables precise control of resonances.
The final result is a very natural and “real” impression of the music.

Reviews
“There are many tuning solutions on the market. Many promise something that then achieves only little effect in the end. The effect ratio at SteinMusic, on the other hand, is probably 100%. Rarely has an accessory upgraded a system to such an extent.”

“The Speakers Match Plus undeniably brings it all!
More definition, more naturalness… a better readability of rhythm and instruments, as well as their character and intrinsic timbres. Singers are embodied.
In some cases, the before-and-after gap is so large that you can immediately understand their need.
You may be surprised, perhaps even overwhelmed, by the qualities of your system that these objects eventually reveal, even if they don’t add as much each time.”
