Magico S2 — a new floorstanding speakers with Gen 8 Nano-Tec driver cones

03.12.2024 12:00

The Magico company showed its new three-way speakers Magico S2. During the development, a Polytec laser vibrometer was used to measure the vibration of the S2 enclosure panels. All this, along with the latest 3D simulation modeling, allowed us to solve the issue of potential resonance at the design stage. The result is an elegant and compact enclosure made of extruded aluminum with minimizes diffraction level.

Like the S3 and S5, the S2 uses a Gen 8 Nano-Tec driver cone, which consists of an aluminum honeycomb core sandwiched between graphene-reinforced carbon fiber shells. This approach helps reduce distortion as much as possible. A lot of effort has been put into upgrading the chassis. The third-generation design improves both mechanical and acoustic parameters, including force distribution, suspension design, and so on.

Magico S2 offers a 5” midrange driver with a 75 mm voice coil. This unit has a Gen 8 Nano-Tec cone and is built into a third-generation chassis. The midrange driver uses a neodymium-based motor system with two extra-large magnets to create a super-stabilized magnetic field in a 16 mm air gap. Bass is handled by a pair of 7” woofers, featuring 3” Gen 8 Nano-Tec cone voice coils, housed in a third-generation chassis. The speakers produce accurate, distortion-free low frequencies, with a great maximum sound pressure of 109 dB at 55 Hz.

The S2's sophisticated 28 mm tweeter is based on the flagship M9 model and uses a diamond-coated beryllium diaphragm. The S2's treble - extending to a stunning 50 kHz - is detailed yet subtle, revealing high frequencies that are indicative of information extraction.

The S2's three-way elliptical symmetrical crossover (ESXO) is a topology of rare distinction. The crossover is implemented with an acoustic slope of 24 dB and uses a Linkwitz-Riley filter. Sales of Magico S2 are scheduled to start in Q2 2025.

    The Japanese company SPEC CORPORATION has introduced a new integrated amplifier SPEC RSA-EX1000. The model uses a main board designed to minimize the length of the passage of musical signals from the volume control to the low-pass filter - according to the manufacturer, this preserves even the weakest signals and ensures a wealth of detail. Of course, the sound quality is also improved by reducing the inductance (coil effect) due to the minimization of internal wiring.

  • Definitive Technology Demand D11 – compact bookshelf loudspeakers with a bunch of innovations

    The Definitive Technology Demand D11 bookshelf speakers use a dual suspension system of the BDSS mid/low-frequency driver, in which the 165 mm polypropylene diffuser is attached to the basket not only along the outer edge. In this case, the second suspension in the center of the system connects the inner edge of the diffuser with the core, which contains a proprietary waveguide - this design significantly improves the linearity of the diffuser movement.
