MANDALA STARTER Baffle Kit
 The Bastanis MANDALA STARTER baffle kit offers easy an entry to the modular Bastanis MANDALA speaker system. The central part of the Bastanis MANDALA speaker system is the exclusive 12" Bastanis wideband driver which is directly coupled to the amp and mounted on an open baffle. This driver provides an efficiency of 100dB/1W/1m and is treated by hand in several steps to make it work as a bending wave driver for higher frequencies to enable it to cover the full frequency spectrum which transports musical content. The Bastanis wideband driver is identical for all Bastanis MANDALA open baffle speakers. The new design of the Bastanis MANDALA open baffles offers the possibility to upgrade anytime from STARTER baffles or PROMETHEUS baffles to ATLAS style baffles later by adding another cut-out for a second wideband driver.
The Bastanis MANDALA STARTER baffle kit adds inexpensive but very good sounding tweeters to the Bastanis wideband drivers which guarantee musical harmony and pure satisfaction. The Bastanis MANDALA STARTER open baffle speakers show point source behaviour combined with airy highs and offer satisfying sound. The STARTER tweeters offer easy upgrade to the GEMINI tweeters, in this case the wooden horns stay in place on the open baffles.
The Bastanis MANDALA speaker system offers relaxed sound at authentic live levels but also it shows clearly all fine details and musical structures at very low listening levels. The high efficiency, crossoverless design is based on the exclusive Bastanis 12" wideband drivers, which cover the whole frequency band transporting musical content. The sound is more live orientated than you know from conventional speaker designs. The dipole characteristics and the absence of cabinet resonances result in a free and airy sound, the imaging is big and natural like you remember from live concerts. The design of the Bastanis MANDALA speaker system seems simple but in fact is highly complex. For the wideband driver we use unique methods of treatment which prevent from a loss of sound quality.
The flexible concept of the Bastanis MANDALA speaker system is new, all elements offer various combinations and harmonic sound. The MANDALA STARTER and the MANDALA PROMETHEUS baffles leave the option for later upgrades to ATLAS baffles using the existing baffles, also the woofers leave the option for later upgrade. Even when you move the Bastanis MANDALA open baffle speaker system will fit your new listening room. A lifetime live-feeling has become true with the Bastanis MANDALA open baffle speaker system offering a new perspective. Once you purchase the Bastanis MANDALA speakers, you get exactly the satisfaction you have always been looking for. The flexible concept allows you to keep this product under the most different conditions for a whole lifetime – this is the Bastanis vision. The new Bastanis MANDALA speaker concept follows a new path that is aimed at the satisfaction of customers and the limits of technical possibilities. It’s a step-ahead lifestyle creation in times of quickly changing products.
The Bastanis MANDALA woofers line is active powered which is the best way to integrate and find the right level for any listening room. All Bastanis MANDALA active powered woofers guarantee perfect fit for your personal preferences. The active powered woofers offer best possible control of the driver and leave lots of options to find the right setup for your room. This is a big advantage compared to passive driven speakers. The power amps driving the open baffles take profit by easing the load on them, the baffles live up. The high quality XTZ woofer amps are available with the Bastanis MANDALA speakers, they come in a non-digital version offering all common features and in a dsp-based version offering digital room correction. Learn more about the XTZ Sub Amp 1 DSP combined with the Bastanis MANDALA woofers in the review of Clive Meakins at www.enjoythemusic.com or on the manufacturers website www.xtz.se. Right from the start all Bastanis MANDALA woofers were designed together with the open baffles to offer harmonic integration.
Durch die Möglichkeit der individuellen Gehäusegestaltung fügen sich die MANDALA organisch in jedes Ambiente ein, Fertiglautsprecher können nach Wunsch und technischen Möglichkeiten individuell gefertigt werden. Falls Sie selbst die Holzarbeiten übernehmen möchten, erlaubt ein auf einfachen Selbstbau abgestimmter Bauplan den sicheren Nachbau. Auch bei der Umsetzung Ihrer eigenen Ideen bieten wir technischen Support und begleiten Sie bereits während der Planungsphase.
Our recommendation is using two plate amps to stereo- power the woofers, this guarantees the best possible sound. You can take a look at the dimensions here:

Part and parcel of this of course are the Bastanis Prometheus II open baffle speakers, which provide the portal through which this sonic bliss was realized. Few speakers I know of will permit such spacious sound. …”

MANDALA PROMETHEUS baffle kit
The Bastanis MANDALA PROMETHEUS baffle kit is the best choice when the space to the walls is limited. The central part of the Bastanis MANDALA speaker system is the exclusive 12" Bastanis wideband driver which is directly coupled to the amp and mounted on an open baffle. This driver provides an efficiency of 100dB/1W/1m and is treated by hand in several steps to make it work as a bending wave driver to higher frequencies to enable it to cover the full frequency spectrum which transports musical content.

The Bastanis MANDALA PROMETHEUS baffel kit adds the Bastanis GEMINI dipole tweeters to the Bastanis wideband drivers. The Bastanis MANDALA PROMETHEUS open baffle speakers show point source behaviour combined with airy highs, best possible resolution and most natural sound. The Bastanis GEMINI tweeters are treated in several steps to achieve unique qualities, together with the Bastanis-designed caps this tweeter’s special sound is only comparable to the live sound of instruments. The GEMINI dipole tweeters dispersion is similar to the dispersion of the Bastanis dipole widebands on the open baffles. This follows perfected radiation and the natural, extended imaging of the MANDALA PROMETHEUS baffle kit.

" ... Sonically however, the Bastanis Prometheus loudspeakers are wonderful. They engage the whole room. They create a huge soundstage.
They are full-frequency. They are easy to set up. They have texture, detail, and air. They are musical and tuneful. They play very loud and
very soft... and still manage to keep tons of detail, resolution, dynamic range and full-frequency even at low-medium volume levels. Horns
sound like horns, synths sound like synths, synth-horns sound like synth-horns. Drums have an incredible illusion of real kits, right
there, at the end of my room. ..."

Bastanis MANDALA ATLAS baffle kit
 The Bastanis MANDALA ATLAS baffle kit is the most advanced and best sounding speaker of the MANDALA line. The MANDALA ATLAS baffles are made for free placement with some space to the walls. The Bastanis MANDALA kit adds a second Bastanis wideband driver to each baffle. The central part of the Bastanis MANDALA speaker system is the exclusive 12" Bastanis wideband driver which is directly coupled to the amp and mounted on an open baffle.

The new design of the Bastanis MANDALA open baffles offers the possibility to upgrade from PROMETHEUS baffles to ATLAS style baffles later by adding another cut- out for a second wideband driver.
The Bastanis MANDALA ATLAS baffle kit uses the Bastanis GEMINI dipole tweeters with the Bastanis wideband drivers. The Bastanis MANDALA ATLAS open baffle speakers show point source behaviour combined with airy highs, best possible resolution and most natural sound. The Bastanis GEMINI tweeters are treated in several steps to achieve unique qualities, together with the Bastani-designed caps this tweeter’s special sound is only comparable to the live sound of instruments. The GEMINI dipole tweeters dispersion is similar to the dispersion of the Bastanis dipole widebands on the open baffles, this follows perfected radiation and the natural, extended imaging. The MANDALA ATLAS open baffle speakers offer superiour imaging and dynamics. The cylindrical radiation generated by the ATLAS configuration with two widebands each baffle reduces disturbing reflections from the floor and the ceiling to a minimum, the imaging is big and precise like known from live events. The doubling of radiating surface in the midrange provides an unlimited dynamic range and relaxed, natural sound even at highest listening levels. At lowest listening levels micro structures stay clearly audible and the imaging is stable.

Bastanis MANDALA 12" sealed woofers
 The Bastanis MANDALA 12" sealed woofers are versatile and fit nearly every room because they accept any placement. They offer good dynamics with punch and attack. When you like to build the stand alone baffles of PROMETHEUS MKII or ATLAS they can be placed separately, for example directly before the rearwall of your room or in a corner. But they are also made for placement under the MANDALA baffles. The MANDALA 12" woofers leave all options for individual solutions and they have the most compact cabinets in the line of the Bastanis MANDALA woofers.
The Bastanis MANDALA woofers are active powered which is the best method to get the amount of volume in the bass frequency range matching your room and personal taste. Your power amp for the open baffles is free from the electrical damping of the woofers, it will sound quicker and with better detail. In Europe all Bastanis kits are equipped with swedish manufacturer’s XTZ high quality woofers. Two different woofer versions are available:
The XTZ Sub Amp 1 is based on a conventional plate amp design, offers high quality and works excellent with all woofers of the MANDALA line. The XTZ Sub Amp 1 DSP offers additional a dsp-based digital room correction. This feature guarantees best possible results and is a powerful tool to flatten the graph even for any difficult rooms
