MAGICO A5 LOUDSPEAKERS

Description

Magico A5 Loudspeakers

The new Magico A5 is a flagship A-Series model (3 way / 5 driver design), which incorporates the company’s first 5-inch pure midrange driver and enhanced midrange and bass driver cone technology. These new advanced cones achieve an unprecedented stiffness-to-weight ratio, a critical parameter that Magico has pursued over the past 15 years. The massive, sealed enclosure of the A5 comprises 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, the same material and construction methods as in Magico’s acclaimed Q-Series. Complex internal bracing helps stiffen the entire enclosure and minimize unwanted resonances and colourations, allowing all drivers to perform with stunning resolution and dynamics. The A5 is finished in an elegant brushed black anodized aluminum with grilles available separately as an option. “The A-Series has been a great success in reaching a wider audience,” says Magico’s founder, Alon Wolf. “The A5 builds on that success with a new 5-inch midrange of extraordinary musicality. And the Magico A5 Loudspeakers’ plays larger,’ with powerfully extended dynamic range.”

The 9″ bass drivers in the A5 feature a newly enhanced version of Magico’s Graphene Nano-Tech cones. Graphene, a hexagonal lattice of carbon and its thickness, is about 100 times stronger than the most robust high-carbon steel. The new cone design combines Graphene layered carbon fibre with advanced new core materials to achieve the highest possible stiffness to weight ratio. Extensive computer simulation and prototype testing allow engineering to create the driver chassis frame with an ideal combination of stiffness and damping, with minimal acoustic contribution and maximized airflow. The new bass driver incorporates oversized components, including a 5-inch pure Titanium voice coil and a vast copper cap with ½” of the linear excursion. The super-stabilized magnetic field enables the A5 to thundering output levels of bass, producing 115 dB SPL (@ 50 Hz, 1 meter) while maintaining very low distortion and inductance below 0.18 mH. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) provides Magico engineers with a single platform to assess acoustic, mechanical, electromagnetic and thermal properties. This meticulous testing helps minimize distortions in the frequency and time domains.

The new 5-inch full-cone midrange driver enables wider dispersion and greater midrange transparency. Like the bass driver, the midrange also incorporates an advanced Graphene carbon fibre sandwich cone. A new foam surround helps achieve ideal cone/surround integration, faster settling time and impressively low distortion. The all-new motor system features a pure Titanium voice coil that operates in a super-stabilized magnetic field with a pure copper pole cap to minimize eddy currents and maximize efficiency. This latest midrange driver design truly sets a new benchmark of measured performance. A dedicated sub-enclosure houses the midrange driver, protecting it from the extensive back wave energy of the bass drivers.

The tweeter dome is based on the M-Series tweeters’ fundamental design platform and geometry and shared with the other A-Series models; the tweeter incorporates a pure beryllium-diaphragm with an optimized 28-mm dome. Magico encases the customized neodymium motor system in an engineered back chamber with the company’s most advanced damping materials. This design enables ultra-low distortion, high power handling, massive dynamic capabilities and extended linear voice coil movement.

The Magico A5 will be the first product in the world to offer Mundorf’s new M-Resist Ultra foil resistors. Now perfected after years of development, the new resistors deliver more incredible power handling, transparency and liquidity. The Elliptical Symmetry Crossover topology acoustically integrates all five drivers using a full complement of state-of-the-art components from Mundorf EB Gmbh of Cologne, Germany. The 3-way network features a 24 dB per octave Linkwitz-Riley filter that maximizes frequency bandwidth while preserving phase linearity and minimizing intermodulation distortion.
