SteinMusic Maestro Lacquer

Plastic is sonically problematic. The hard polymer surfaces found on most audio components and cables resonate and store energy in ways that affect the sound — not dramatically, but measurably and audibly in resolving systems. The Maestro Lacquer is a non-conductive, lacquer-based surface treatment with resonance-controlling properties that addresses this specifically.

Application

Apply it to speaker cabinets, cable jackets, and electronics enclosures — anywhere plastic, lacquer, or clear coat surfaces are present. The treatment is non-conductive and won't create any electrical issues when applied carefully. Sound becomes more natural, more open, and more colorful. These are Holger Stein's words, and they're consistent with our experience applying it to a listening system.

The application is simple — brush or wipe on, allow to cure. The effect builds with multiple applications in some cases.

Press Recognition

The Maestro Lacquer is part of the broader SteinMusic product ecosystem. Coverage exists in the context of SteinMusic's room and system treatment philosophy. Word-of-mouth among listeners who use it consistently reports improvement in naturalness and tonal color.
