Mani-2 was designed as a statement in pure musicality. Regardless of specifications, “Mani-2” channelizes primal energy and force into “being”.

Awaken your senses to what true coherent energy, properly focused, can contribute to your listening experiences. Some have categorized it beyond the magical, the ethereal… simply, fundamentally visceral.

At Totem we continue our tradition of aesthetic exquisite transducers. Mani-2 is the culmination of several years research into necessarily
monitor sized transducers / speakers, capable of both absolute soundstaging and fine focus, real, full range sound involving all senses.

Our monitor designs are all small driver, dynamic 2-way; the only plausible design scheme for the coherence and the musicality we seek. How is full range, dynamic, distortion-free, accurate, focalized music and bass achieved in a small 2-way design?

It is optimized in the “Model One”, in a unique 2-way, 2-driver unit. It is maximized in the “Mani-2”, a unique 2-way, 3-driver unit. The “Mani-2 utilizes a unique push-pull / vented configuration in which the inner and outer midwoofer operate in exactly the same “extended” frequency range. The musical energy emitted from the external driver is thus as distortion free as possible. Accurate engineering, special double box configuration and truly superior quality materials and damping procedures have made this possible.

The musical truth follows

• Internal and external wood veneering
• Multilayer borosilicate damping
• Full plane cross braces for extreme rigidity and increased damping
• Lock miter cabinet joints
• Æsthetic and acoustical finish
• Twin pair W.B.T. terminals
• No compromise drivers, wiring and crossover parts
