Rogers LS5/9 Classic SE Loudspeakers
Frequently Bought Together
Product Overview & Specifications
The Rogers LS5/9 Classic SE (Special Edition) is an upgraded, BBC-licensed two-way bass reflex monitor loudspeaker that elevates the performance of the standard LS5/9 Classic. Handcrafted in England, the SE edition introduces critical crossover component enhancements and cabinet optimizations designed to deliver superior stereo imaging, improved instrument separation, tauter low-frequency response, and realistic tonal accuracy.
The LS5/9 Classic SE retains the iconic 9mm Birch plywood cabinet construction, 34mm Audax HD34 tweeter with phase-correction plate, and Rogers 210mm polypropylene mid/bass driver. Key SE refinements include high-grade dust iron inductor cores within the 27-element crossover network to achieve a more natural acoustic timbre, along with a Panzaholz front baffle balance. Visually distinguished by exclusive SE gold badges on the front grille and gold rear identification labels, the speaker is optimized for pairing with optional Rogers Panzaholz loudspeaker stands.
KEY FEATURES & SPECIAL EDITION UPGRADES
- Upgraded Dust Iron Inductor Cores: Replaces standard ferrite cores with high-purity dust iron cores in the crossover, delivering improved tonal naturalness and driver integration.
- Panzaholz Baffle Balance & Resonance Control: Tuned in conjunction with a Panzaholz baffle design to optimize energy dissipation and structural rigidity.
- BBC-Licensed 9mm Birch Plywood Cabinet: Built using 9mm Birch plywood reinforced with hardwood battens and internal damping to preserve traditional BBC acoustic specifications.
- Rogers 210mm Polypropylene Mid/Bass Driver: Custom 210mm flared polypropylene cone terminated with an inverted vinyl half-roll surround for dynamic speed and low coloration.
- Audax 34mm Soft Dome Tweeter: Adapted Audax HD34 tweeter fitted with a custom Rogers phase-correction protective plate for smooth high-frequency dispersion.
- Exclusive SE Gold Badging: Features new signature Gold badges on the front grille and rear plate to signify the Special Edition status.
